 | We all know by now that natural skincare products can do wonders for our skin and overall well-being, and there’s even evidence to show that your nightly glass (or two) of (red) wine has health benefits of its own. Turns out, these two things may not be entirely coincidental. When Rebecca Gournay and her husband, both avid lovers of wine with a growing interest in natural products, discovered that tiny grape seeds, a byproduct of winemaking, were themselves chock full of antioxidants and fatty acids, they knew they were onto something. This knowledge, combined with Rebecca’s business background, led to the creation of Seed. The 100% natural line contains nourishing lotions, moisturizing soaps, and even conditioning shampoo bars, all fortified with grape seed oils in addition to pomegranate, apricot, and strawberry seeds and extracts. Even the packaging is recyclable and biodegradable, and is made in the United States, so you can be assured you’ll reduce your carbon footprint while you treat yourself with the best that nature has to offer. There are three completely natural scents from which you can choose: Invigorating Citrus Thyme, Restful Lavender Sage, or, if you prefer, Simply Unscented. The lotions are sold in packages of three, which retail for $20, so they’re perfect for sharing with friends! Likewise, soaps and shampoo bars are $20 for six boxes (men love these too- they’re specially formulated for shorter hair!) Do the math and you’ll realize they’re comparable to popular drugstore brands you might already be using, except these are completely gentle- to both your body and the Earth. Let’s recap. A skin and body care line that’s completely natural, and inspired by a love of good health and good wine? We’ll drink to that! |
