I still remember when I first started using organic skincare, there were very few lines and most of them didn’t even bother including a range of anti-aging skincare products. Things have come a long way in the world of organic skincare and it’s partially thanks to pioneer companies such as Dr. Hauschka Skin Care and Jurlique Skin Care.
Today, we can thank the Brits for producing more organic skincare than any other country. If you’ve been reading my posts lately you’ll notice that August is looking like “organic” and “clean” skincare month.
I’m about to add to the already long list of organic skincare products I’ve reviewed from England!
Yuvalla, named after founders Yuval and Alla is the newest French organic skincare line to make it to North America. The line is a nice mix of “east” meets “west”. The entire line is based on the philosophy of the founders: promote balance in our everyday lives by respecting the earth.
Here’s a list of ingredients you won’t find in any Yuvalla products:
* No preservatives
* No colouring agents
* No synthetic preservatices
* No parabens
* No synthetic fragrances
* No genetically modified organisms (GMOs)
* No DEAs
* No sodium laurel or lauren sulphate
I tried Uvalla’s “Age Balancing System” (Yuvalla’s brands), which is a three-step system to hydrate, balance, nourish and protect oily-to-combination skin. This is ideal for anyone who wants a complete skincare line that is easy and simple to use. All the work has been done for you via this system. The “Age Balancing System” contains a cleanser, a moisturizer for combination skin and a toner. If you have dry or mature skin you might want to opt for the Uvalla “Age-Defying System”, which is a richer formula.
I also tried the oil-free and chemical-free SPF 20 sunscreen and the Yuvalla Anti-Wrinkle Eye and Lip Cream. The cream works wonders to relieve puffy eyes … especially on those nights when I worked too late.
When it comes to pricing, the Uvalla skincare line is very well priced for an organic line.
I quite like Uvalla’s products because they are perfect for my sensitive skin. I love the floral scents as well as the company’s philosophy!
Another thing you’ll quickly notice about Uvalalla is they are eager to teach their clients and make them more aware. The company uses their web site to accomplish this task. If you visit the Yuvalla web site, you’ll notice a tab on the left-hand side that says “meditation room”. You can click on that link to experience a one-minute, five-minute or 10-minute meditation session accompanied by soul nourishing mediation music. You also get to “choose” your meditation location. You can either transport yourself to “the beach”, “the garden”, “the sky” or “a sunset beach” for your meditation sessions. This is such an incredible little extra feature.
Uvalla is not yet available in Canada, but you can find the line in the U.S. You can also buy the entire line via Uvalla’s web site. American readers can also buy the line via Yuvalla’s web site or contact them directly to find the closest retail store near you. They also have a sister site that you can visit: L’Uvalla Certified Organic.
