I discovered a new skin care line this month and wanted to share it with you…..just BECAUSE!

BECAUSE Skin Care is a new line of sustainable, gentle, and highly effective products that work to return skin to its natural balanced state.

BECAUSE is committed to using only the purest, highest quality, and most effective raw materials and uses 70% or greater certified organically grown content(up to 98.5%)

Here’s what they say about their products:  BECAUSE believes that skin care should never compromise the health of skin by containing harsh, irritating, and potentially harmful ingredients. Nothing goes into the products but the most beneficial natural ingredients that feel better, smell better, and do better than their cheap synthetic and petrochemical counterparts. Every ingredient is carefully selected for its unique attributes to support the long-term health and beauty of your skin.

BECAUSE evolved from creator Diane Ginzel's quest to find luxurious, healthy, and effective skin care. An avid reader of ingredient labels, she created her own library devoted to books about essential oils, botanical extracts, vegetable oils, cosmetic ingredients, and cosmetic chemistry. She compiled a list of optimal ingredients and started to develop products on paper. Driven to make these dream products on paper a reality, she collaborated with a master esthetician and chemist who share her philosophy. After two years of formula development, BECAUSE was born.

BECAUSE is committed to donating a portion of its annual profits to support causes that benefit people, animals, and the planet.

BECAUSE products are currently available exclusively at www.spiritbeautylounge.com. For more information about BECAUSE, please visit www.becauseskincare.com.

Below is a list and description of their products.  I’m in LOVE with the Multi-Tasking Hand and Body Lotion and the Moisture Retaining Hand and Body Scrub.

I’ll admit, they seem a little expensive when you read about it here, but they are generously sized and a little sees to go a long, long way.

CLEANSERS:

BECAUSE believes skin care for your body should be formulated with the same careful attention as for your face. All cleansers are sulfate free and contain a mild coconut-based cleansing agent that effectively removes dirt and pollutants and rinses free of residue without irritating, drying, or stripping the skin. BECAUSE's suds maker is also biodegradable, making the cleansers gentle for you and the planet. The line uses therapeutic grade essential oils for their skin benefiting properties and to add pleasure to the cleansing experience with their beautiful, subtle aromas. The cleansers are suitable for all skin types, but offer skin specific benefits such as nourishing, moisturizing, and clarifying.

Replenishing Body Cleanser $32

Ideal for normal and sensitive skin, this kind cleanser nourishes and strengthens. Key ingredients include Green Tee Extract (a polyphenol-packed power antioxidant), Sea Algae Extract (which helps counteract irritation and water loss while feeding skin vitamins, minerals and amino acids), and French Lavender Oil (which calms and heals skin overwhelmed by stress.)

Purifying Body Cleanser $32
Ideal for oily, combination, and congested skin, this cleanser clarifies blemishes, clogged pores, and excess oil. Key ingredients include White Willow Bark Extract (which soothes inflammation and redness associated with chest and back acne.), Manuka Oil (New Zealand Tea Tree Oil which helps vanquish bumps and breakouts by diminishing impurities without drying and irritating the skin), and White Grapefruit Oil (a mild astringent and toning agent that leaves your skin and spirits feeling revitalized and uplifted).

Hydrating Body Cleanser $32
Ideal for dry and mature skin, this thirst quenching cleanser reprograms devitalized skin cells to receive and retain more moisture. Key ingredients include Meadowfoam Oil (a super emollient oil with a high natural vitamin E content), Evening Primrose Oil (which boosts hydration, elasticity and firmness), and Damask Rose Oil (with skin softening, soothing and hydrating properties.)

MOISTURIZERS:

BECAUSE uses the highest quality botanical butters and oils in its moisturizers that not only intensely hydrate but have amazing properties to help nourish, soothe, protect and heal your skin. They don't use unfriendly synthetic emulsifiers, emollients, and moisturizing agents commonly used in mainstream moisturizers that can impair skin's vital functions, cause irritation, and smother skin. BECAUSE lotions and creams do not sit on the surface of the skin and feel heavy, greasy, or sticky but quickly sink into the skin to provide immediate and long term benefits.

Multi-Tasking Hand and Body Lotion $44
Packed with essential nutrients, skin plumping oils, and powerful free radical resistance fighters, this power-packed lotion nourishes, hydrates and protects. Key ingredients include Ginseng Extract (which pumps oxygen, nutrients and bounce back into skin), Sea Buckthorn Oil (a cellular tour-de-force of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids), and Borage Oil (with unparalleled abilities to re-hydrate, firm, and revive skin.)

Daily Relief Cream $38
Ideal for intensely dry skin in need of TLC, this luxurious, rich cream soothes and helps heal red, irritated, itchy, chapped, cracked, and parched skin caused by extreme living, stress, and cold weather. Key ingredients include Calendula Extract (a time-tested herbal remedy traditionally used to help heal rashes, cuts, abrasions, burns and wounds), Tamanu Oil (renowned for its healing, analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties), and Everlasting Oil (helps fade bruises, enduring scars and aging associated with inflammation.)

SCRUBS:

BECAUSE scrubs not only gently slough dead skin cells with natural polishing grains to instantly smooth and soften skin, but they contain potent botanical extracts and nourishing nut and seed oils to hydrate and refine the texture of your skin.

Moisture Retaining Hand and Body Scrub $36
Raw cane sugar and berry seed oils rich in essential Omega fatty acids join forces to baby rough, flaky, scaly, and dehydrated skin. Key ingredients include Black Currant Seed Oil (a rich source of Omega 6 fatty acids), Cranberry Seed Oil (a fatty acid buffet of Omega 3, 6 and 9 that infuses more moisture than any other oil and retains it by bolstering skin's lipid barrier), and Raspberry Seed Oil (a superb anti-oxidant that boosts repair, protection, and moisture retention functions.)
