Just launched in April, Beautorium offers organic and natural skincare and cosmetics, some of which can be difficult (or impossible) to locate in the U.S. but are already cult brands in Europe. Co-Founder Ann Francke worked in Europe for 20 years as an executive for many well known skincare brands and upon re-locating to the states with her husband/Co-Founder, Barry they launched Beautorium. I especially like their "Good To Know" icons and the Try Before You Buy samples program. Here's what I'm using (and loving) right now:
-Saaf Complexion Boosting Serum: I only use 1-2 very small drops and apply over my entire face & decollete (neck & chest area). I like to use at night before bed. No need for a heavy night creme, this will do the trick and you'll look refreshed & hydrated in the morning. I also love, love, love the smell of real lemongrass and this is exactly what it smells like. It is pricey, but will a). last quite awhile as it is very concentrated and has a shelf life of 3 years (unopened) and 1 year after opened and b). you're paying for quality and a load of certifications and c). get 20% off with our exclusive promo code below. Saaf Pure Skincare is one of the most certified skincare lines in the world. To learn more about the company, new products in development and my recent interview with the founder click here. Note: Beautorium is currently the only Saaf retailer in North America.
Other products I dig include:
Farfalla: Basic Care Facial Fluid For Normal/Combo skin (Note: only found in the U.S. at Beautorium.com)
Martina Gebhardt: Aloe-Mimosa Body Lotion
Trilogy: Certified Organic Rosehip Oil
Now through August 31st, Beautorium is offering our readers 20% off with promo code FGS2008. Every order also comes with a free "I'm A Natural Bag" tote that I have been using as a beach bag. Perfect for throwing sunscreen, a towel and a magazine in and the sand shakes right out when I'm ready to leave! And I've received many "oh, I love that bag" compliments on it.
If you try any of them, I'd love to hear what you think!

Hello!! I found your blog through the Gorgeously Green message board and I wanted to ask your opinion on something. I am trying to search for an organic line that is anti-aging for my mom, who is 50, that isn't too pricey. I may just post something about it on the message board, but I wanted to get your thoughts first. I would really appreciate it. You can write me back at my blog or my e-mail. julie3love@hotmail.com
Thanks so much~

Hey Julie :)
Thanks for finding us! 'Truly organic+anti-aging' & 'cheap' may be an oxymoron, depending on your definition of "pricey" :) If it's totally & utterly pure and helps eliminate or prevent wrinkles, it's likely going to cost you/her ;) I can tell you that my own Mom likes the entire Primavera line (available at saffronrouge.com), Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream and Weleda Iris line(available at Beautorium.com or saffronrouge.com).
Something to consider about the cost associated with high quality skincare is a). truly organic skincare is usually very concentrated so it will last longer and 2) if she is unable to buy a whole line of products, focus on a really great moisturizer.
Did you checkout my previous Trilogy Rosehip Oil post? It's also really great for preventing wrinkles & hydrating the skin as well and she can get it for 20% off with our code!
Another idea is to check out the Secret Skin Oil at Mountain Rose Herbs for $9.25.
I hope this helps!!! Enjoy a great night :)
.xo.
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. I will definitely look into the few that you told me about and see what would be a good fit for my mom. I noticed that the Beautorium website has an anti-aging category, so I should probably look at that too. Thanks so much though for all your help. I truly appreciate it.
