Raw Beauty – A Natural Luxury

After an adventure in culinary school and realizing that so many beauty products have lost their natural essence, Chang decided her main goal would be to establish superior, handmade products by using only the best of raw ingredients. Her second goal was to develop a brand that was fun, fresh and exciting for both the body and mind. We found in these cold winter months that we loooved the Birthday Suit Body Butter and Beauty Queen Facial Cream. Both were perfect solutions to our dry skin. The Body Butter is thicker than most moisturizers but gave us the extra kick of moisture we needed, especially on our elbows, feet and hands. Not to mention how much we enjoyed the delicious smell. The Facial Cream is lightweight, making it a nice base under makeup, and our face was left feeling soft and smooth but not greasy. It’s created with jojoba oil, which closely resembles our body’s natural sebum. “Our world is so chemically unbalanced today,” Chang notes. “Your skin is the biggest organ in your body and should be treated as one of the most important.” ::Raw Beauty

Some of these products are actually pretty natural, but others contain chemical preservatives, which are the worst offenders of the chemicals that are in skin care! It's so frustrating to me that companies make these products with all these amazing natural ingredients and then ruin them by using chemical preservatives! I am a little fanatical about this because I have a lot of cancer in my family and studies have shown that these preservatives act like estrogen in the body and that they are commonly found in breast tumors. The one line I've sound so far that meets my standards is called Healing Anthropology. Just remember to always read ingredient lists before buying anything. That's the only way to tell if a product is as natural as it claims to be.
