In the ever-evolving landscape of skincare and cosmetics, where trends come and go as swiftly as the seasons change, one brand has stood out for its commitment to both beauty and sustainability. 

Beauty Counter, founded in 2011 by Gregg Renfrew, hit the ground running and carved out a niche for itself in the beauty industry, prioritizing clean ingredients, transparency, and environmental responsibility. 

But is Beauty Counter as clean as they claim to be? Recent scrutiny has shed light on the presence of questionable ingredients in some of its products, in addition to their sustainability practices, raising concerns among consumers and prompting a closer examination of the brand.

Today we are taking a closer look at what Beauty Counter did right to achieve their status and where they went wrong, so we can gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of clean beauty and make informed choices about the products we use on our skin.

A very common ingredient in commercial skincare products is water. Humans require water, so what could possibly be wrong with it being a main ingredient in your skincare product? In fact, many commercial skincare products, even the natural ones, list water as the first ingredient. So who cares if your product is mostly water?

Water may be the perfect liquid for your insides, but your outsides feel differently. It might just be where all destructive effects truly begin.

Vegan skincare and dental solutions have taken the world by storm, and for good reason! More and more people are realizing the impact of their choices on their health, the environment, and the well-being of animals.

Whether you are vegan or not, understanding how natural, ethical, transparent, and truly effective products are, matters to everyone. Having options that align with your values, cause no harm in the making, and importantly, actually work, help the world to be a better place for all. 

Unfortunately, navigating the world of vegan skincare, dental, and self-care products in general, can be a challenging task. Since there is no labeling regulation for the term “vegan”, it can be confusing to determine if a product is “clean vegan” or what we call “dirty vegan” - masquerading as being vegan but including non-vegan ingredients.

This is very frustrating for people that adhere to a vegan lifestyle, and at Primal Life Organics, we get it. We are staunch advocates for standing by our values and are committed to providing products that are made with only premium natural ingredients, cruelty-free, paleo-friendly, gluten-free, and vegan whenever possible.

In this article, we are going to define what makes a product vegan, how it is different from “organic”, “natural”, and “cruelty-free”, and how you can be sure to buy “clean vegan” over “dirty vegan”.

In a world where botox, facelifts, and Instagram filters exist, our obsession with retaining our youthful skin has reached new levels. After all, no one wants to look older and have a face full of wrinkles. But aging is inevitable and while we’re all for embracing ourselves no matter what our age, you don’t have to give in to not looking and feeling the best you can.

This ACV Challenge originated in 2016 and continues to help people around the world improve their health. 

I have done a shot (sometimes two or three) of apple cider vinegar (ACV) everyday for the past few years.  I have never felt better and want to share my experience, knowledge and passion for health with you!

Apple cider vinegar can help

• Improve digestion
• Promote a healthy cholesterol
• Aid in healthy weight loss
• Promote a healthy blood sugar
• Fight free radical damage
• Improve micro-nutrient absorption

Join my challenge and improve your health, reduce your cravings and waistline... and sleep better!

I want to ask you something… 

Do you ever feel like life is just too much?

Too much work. 

Too much chaos. 

Too much weight.

And I’m not just talking about physical weight, although that’s a big challenge, too.

I’m talking about the burden of living a life that’s so full of demands, you never get to fulfill your real purpose.

The stress that comes with the belly pain, bloating, leaky gut and discomfort of digestive issues can literally send a person right into a “meh” existence. I AM VERY familiar with all of this, as I have struggled with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).

A few years ago, I was placed on antibiotics for 9 months that destroyed my gut ecosystem and left me with a digestive mess.  As I am on the journey to improve my health and my digestive brain, I am sharing a smoothie with a secret ingredient that will heal and soothe your gut with each slurp: Aloe Vera.
