Natural Beauty

As if we don’t have enough to worry about with toxins permeating the air and our food, the beauty and makeup obsessed have their own set of problems too. Though we may have to deal with those scary GMO’s in our Greek yogurt and other hidden foods that are seemingly healthy for us, we are also absorbing them through the skin via our coveted blush and tinted moisturizers. After many years in the fashion and makeup industry, celebrity makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift founded the raw-coconut-oil-based all-natural brand called RMS Beauty for this very reason. She knows first hand the price our health can pay in the pursuit of beauty and has created an original, pure and organic line that uses coconut oil, shea butter, rosemary extract and more luminous ingredients.

RMS is dedicated to transforming the way women use makeup, and it’s about more than simply using organic ingredients. It all comes down to chemistry…isn’t that true with everything. When a raw material is processed for use in cosmetics or other beauty products, it undergoes a lengthy process that turns these materials into man-made chemicals. Which is not so great. But RMS products are formulated with raw, food grade and organic ingredients in their natural state, allowing their living, healing attributes to penetrate and rejuvenate the skin. You won’t find gluten, GMO’s, soy or nano in any of their products, and they don’t test on animals either. Swift says that Gisele Bundchen, Miranda Kerr and Karlie Kloss insist she uses Living Luminizer– one of the best face highlighters of all time and the line’s most popular product- to accentuate their cheekbones and brighten their gorgeous faces. That works for me. www.rmsbeauty.com
