The Buzz at ISPA

While at ISPA in Austin this year, I spent some time at the Eminence Organics booth, which has always been an informative and enjoyable experience at spa shows in years past. This company has been on the cutting edge of environmentally responsible skin care since the word organic started being correlated with skin care. I learned that this company is the first and only certified organic collection with biodynamic ingredients… and they come direct from Hungary! What the heck is biodynamic farming one might ask?!

It’s a farming technique that eliminates using artificial fertilizers and instead nurtures crops with natural medicinal herbs and mineral composts to enhance the soil, infusing the ingredients with natural nutrition instead of harmful chemicals. Further, Eminence Organics uses herbal tea and plant-friendly honey traps as an alternative to those nasty pesticides we are hearing so much about, a pretty clever alternative. Adhering to these stringent farming methods has put Eminence at a rating of 95% organic and 88% biodynamic with regards to the ingredients in their new collection.

And their packaging is oh so creative and well done, not only are they close to 100% organic but their branding is fabulous. I plan to order the samples they gave out at ISPA and give to my friends and family for Christmas gifts. They have one decorative ornament that when you open it up there are cute little samples of face masks and lotions inside, a perfect gift for the women in my life!

Be on the lookout for Eminence Organics, they are taking the spa world by storm and have done their due diligence to rank high on the non-toxic skin care meter. Thumbs up!
