With a plethora of natural results-driven beauty products on store shelves, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to choose the best products for your skin type while preserving the environment. But one eco-friendly beauty line stands above all others, catering to everyone, from teens with acne to adults fighting age spots to 20-somethings looking to maintain healthy skin.
Epicuren Discovery, a California-based beauty company, combines nature and technology to create products that improve and enhance one’s skin. A celeb favorite—Gwen Stefani and Kate Hudson are fans—many of the products incorporate the brand’s proprietary protein complex. The Metadermabolic Enzyme combines B vitamins and liquids to optimize the release of antioxidants, promoting cell turnover and collagen restoration.
Each product is specially formulated to produce optimum results. With more than 100 items, customers can choose from cleansers, peels, lotions, moisturizers, toners, gels and everything in between. Acne sufferers will love the Clarify Cleanser, older adults, the Pumpkin Apple Spice Peel, 20-somethings, the Acidophilus Probiotic Cream. The Aloe Vera Calming Gel is a great hot-weather moisturizer and the body lotions are some of the most luxuriant around.
Recently, Epicuren launched a hair care line. Using bee pollen, the Brazilian Propolis Shampoo and Conditioner claim to heal, moisturize and maintain distressed hair. For thick, easily-tangled curly tresses, they certainly did the trick, making detangling and styling a breeze. Hair was silky, soft and full of body.
