SaffronRouge.

If you are ever looking for one of the best selections of organic skin care and aromatherapy, you must visit SaffronRouge.

SaffronRouge is an online site from Organic Beauty Expert, Kirstin Binder. Kirstin has personally evaluated all of the products she currently sells on the site.

Some of the wonderful lines that she carries include Dr. Hauschka (I am dying to try the Rose Day Cream), Weleda, Jo Wood Organics, and Pangea Organics.

As I said, Kirstin evaluates everything on the site, and here is a bit about how she does it: “I evaluate products using a three-step process which involves evaluating a product for purity, quality and effectiveness. If a product doesn’t meet the purity standard, I don’t waste time evaluating it for quality or effectiveness. And just because a product passes the purity test doesn’t mean it will meet the quality or effectiveness standards. All three standards must be met before I recommend a product.
Three-step evaluation process:
PURITY
· Are the ingredients predominantly from certified organic or certified biodynamic ingredients?
· Are all the ingredients from natural sources as opposed to synthetic?
· Are there any questionable, synthetic or potentially toxic ingredients in the product?
QUALITY
· Are the plants (from which the ingredients are derived from) grown in the ideal regions and climates to produce the most healing, beneficial and naturally active extracts?
· What method(s) is used to extract the ingredients?
· Are the ingredients watered down, diluted or refined in any way? For example, a 1:1 liquid herbal extract is 4 times stronger then a 1:4 liquid herbal extract. A refined plant oil is much poorer in quality than an unrefined, cold-pressed oil in its natural state. Good skin care in large part comes down to looking at the therapeutic value of the ingredients, and extraction methods.
EFFECTIVENESS
· Does the product do what it says it will do for the person intended?
For example, does a cleanser designed for dry skin both clean the skin and leave it moisturized rather than stripped?”
