Can we get the same bang for our buck from natural products as we do from more conventional skin care? Absolutely — and without most of the synthetic chemicals like paraben, petroleum, preservatives and animal byproducts to gum up the works. Sensitive skins will truly appreciate the Avalon Organics line — they cleanse and moisturize with lavender, white tea, chamomile and other complexion calmers. They're a conscience soother, using only 100% vegetarian ingredients. The new higher-end collection, Care by Stella McCartney, also uses 100% vegetarian ingredients that are organic and grown under strict environmental controls that omit pesticides and chemical fertilizers. For a more affordable way to bag your botanicals, try Burt's Bees. This immensely popular collection eschews animal testing and uses folksy yet truly effective formulations made from down-home stuff like beeswax, sunflower oil, orange wax and rosemary extract. To top off all that healthy slathering, consider a mineral makeup foundation: Bare Escentuals covers flaws with pure crushed minerals that provide a natural SPF 15.
