SaffronRouge.com has established itself as leader for selecting pure natural and organic products without various ingredients we could probably do without. If you have sensitized skin, or are particular about what you’re using- this is where to go. Kristin hand selects each line she sells based on stringent guidelines and effectiveness.

Balm Balm is one lucky line that received their stamp of approval for it’s concisely on the mark collection of face, hand, lip, foot, and baby care. Fragrance free is offered, the sizing is generous, and the ingredient lineup is short and sweet which only include the best skin nourishers.

Lindi Skin

Breast, lung, skin, colon; chances are we all know someone whose life has been affected by cancer. We’ve all heard about the physical side effects of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and radiation, but we rarely hear about the skin side effects that are so prevalent like; rashes, dermatitis and leukopenia which can be worsened by traditional skin care products.

I was so thrilled to learn about Lindi Skin, a line of face, body and sun care especially produced for those undergoing cancer treatments packed with anti-inflamitories, anti-irritants and healing ingredients. They even pair you up with products that combat effects from your specific treatments or medications. It’s also a perfect line for those who are extremely sensitive and react easily to traditional products.

The Eye Hydrator is excellent and has a unique texture that smoothes on and absorbs quickly so no rubbing is needed. Check out the Skin Coolers which ease and cool skin that’s itchy, dry, and irritated. They can also be worn under wigs or around the neck for hot flashes.

Send this along to your friends and family undergoing treatment, because in the next 24 hours I’ll donate $1 for every visit to my site to the American Cancer Society.

Suzanne aux Bains

Posted on

Walk through your bathroom and you’ll see a differing array of brands. It’s difficult to find a line that’s 100% well… good. Suzanne aux Bains is an exception to this rule largely in part because it’s completely free of parabens, phenoxyethanol, PEG, mineral oils, silicone, colorants or synthetic fragrances. Plant, marine and organic ingredients from the Mediterranean are used to insure efficacy and silky smooth skin.

My favorites are the popular Regenerating Night Treatment which leaves your face glowing, the Relaxing Organic Massage Oil which absorbs quickly but really eases muscles and the Nourishing Body Milk that soothes even the most sensitive skin with the perfect amount of moisture.- all of which have the most amazing scents.

Dermalogica Barrier Repair

Dermalogica reigns supreme in the world of professional skincare. They really are the big fish with a complete arsenal of skin soothing, age busting, acne fighting all stars while managing to remain cruelty free and technologically ahead of the curve. Barrier Repair is a unique, waterless, colorless silicone based moisturizer that protects your skin by keeping the bad stuff out (pollutants) and the good stuff in (moisture).

It has an amazingly velvety feel that’s not greasy in the least, and it also provides a great primer for your foundation so it lasts the day without changing color or wearing off. I find it’s best for those who are sensitive, acne prone or just don’t like a heavy moisturizer.

Pangea Calendula & Blood Orange Cleanser

Posted on

When I wanted a cleanser that didn’t contain parabens, (which I’ll be talking a lot about) wasn’t tested on animals, and would still stand up to remove the most stubborn eye make up I wasn’t sure what exactly I would find.

Luckily the staff at Whole Foods gave a glowing recommendation to the Pangea Calendula & Blood Orange Cleanser. I was hesitant since I tend to be oily and it wasn’t the foaming cleanser I was used to. It turns out there’s a reason they only carry this one cleanser- because it’s perfect. While it isn’t a foaming cleaner, it isn’t a milky one either, it’s creamy and doesn’t break down with water and scrubbing and removes all traces of mascara. The Calendula is an anti-inflammatory so it calms redness while the Blood Orange removes grease and impurities. The ingredients are 100% organic and the packaging is recyclable- plus the company is Boulder based.
