Care by Stella McCartneyModern and Organic Beauty Products from Fashion Designer McCartneyAs people are looking increasingly towards organic foods and products, Stella McCartney has established a line of organic beauty products.
Stella McCartney began her highly sucessful career as creative director for Chloe in 1997 and then in 2001 moved to helming her own line in partnership wth Gucci. In 2003 she launched her first fragrance, a Turkish rose and amber blend entitled Stella, which was followed with the release of a second fragrance called Stella In Two, which her original fragrance split into two (Peony liquid perfume and Amber solid perfume) meant to be worn individually or layered. In 2007, McCartney launched an organic skincare line called Care. HistoryThe daughter of former Beatle Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda, Stella learned at a young age about healthy living and particularly the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle which she has continued into her adult life. Her mother had been a famous animal rights activist and vegetarian. Stella famously does not use any animal products in her designs and leads a strict vegetarian lifestyle. The care she takes with what she puts into her body inspired her to create the Care organic skincare line. CareCare was inspired when Stella realised there was very little in the skincare market that fulfilled both her physical and ethical personal requirements. She wondered why people were so concerned with the foods they ate (in terms of pesticides and genetic modifications) while they used beauty products that brought their skin (the body's largest organ) into contact with harsh chemicals. Most organic skincare products on the market are available only in specialty and health food stores and are offered in only very basic formulations. Stella sensed an opportunity and began to develop a line of luxury skincare, called Care. The Care Skincare LineCare is currently comprised of eight products that can be used by men and women of all skin tyoes and ages. The cleansers:
The moisturizers:
The special treatments:
Made with no animal derivitives and 100% active organic ingredients, the Care line is certified by ECOCERT. An internationally recognized, independent inspection and certification body, ECOCERT verifies the conformity of organic products against the organic regulations of Europe, Japan and the United State. In addition to adhering to the ECOCERT guidelines, Stella has also established a Care Ethical Code of Contact that increases the responsibility of the brand and sets the organic beauty bar higher for other companies to follow suit. The Benefits of Organic Beauty According to the Care website, when compared to conventional skincare products, organic skincare products are richer in essential nutrients such as vitamin C, antioxidants, trace-elements and mineral salts, essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. And unlike conventional skincare products that use non-organic ingredients, studies show that with organic skincare products there is an absence of traces of fertilizers and pesticides that can be absorbed into the skin.
