Credo Beauty is now open in San Francisco at 2136 Fillmore Street, next door to Marc by Marc Jacobs. I have a full gallery showcasing the interior and some of the products over at Racked SF.
Last Thursday, I attended the opening party and was floored by how beautiful and modern the green beauty boutique is. Everything laid out on the shelves beg for you to test them out and guess what? They are all made from natural or organic ingredients. I haven't totally gone green in my beauty routine but for the most part I am using a lot of organic skincare. Credo Beauty is really paving the way for all of us to learn more about using products that are better for us because it's not full of harsh chemicals.
You can try all of the products in the store and I like that there are sample sizes sold so you can take them home and see how they feel.
Right now, I'm kinda obsessed with Evolvh hair products. Finding an organic hair product has been at the top of my list and I'm so glad I had the chance to meet the founder Boris Oak at the opening party. Boris told me that these products are good for any hair type. I have sample sizes for their UltraShine Moisture Shampoo ($24), UltraShine Moisture Conditioner ($25), and the SuperFinish Polishing Balm ($32). I like that my hair feels clean (and smells great too) and it's not feeling dry or stripped. The Credo Store Manager told me that these are flying off the shelves and now I know why.
I also met the founder of Juice Beauty, Karen Behnke. She gave an overview of the line and I tested out a few products.
My favorite is their Stem Cellular CC Cream ($39). There are five different shades. I love how it feels on my skin. You can skip the notion of foundation and give yourself an even skintone while it protects with mineral SPF 30 and enriches your skin with antioxidants.
Let's talk makeup now. I received a sample of Armour Beauty's naturally-based lip gloss in my goodie bag. I had the Armour V in Audrey ($24) a vegan, paraban-free and completely cruelty-free lip gloss. The Audrey color is just what I love wearing - an everyday mauve color.
The Tata Harper Spa is just gorgeous and I'm looking forward to trying out a facial there one day as well as just browsing around the store more to try new products. I'll report back here of course on my natural beauty favorites!
Yesterday while grocery shopping at Whole Foods, I came across a sample table for the cocokind organic skincare brand. The founder, Priscilla Tsai was there and showed me the array of products. (I didn't realize she was the founder until I came across their web site last night). She pumped some of the cocokind organic facial repair serum ($13.99) on my hand and my skin just felt amazing after. The ingredients include organic virgin coconut oil, organic avocado oil and organic rosehip oil. These ingredients contain essential fatty acids that help repair your skin as well as moisturizes. The antioxidants heal damaged skin, including helping scars and age spots. There's a link here on their website that talks more about the details of their ingredients and why they are good for your skin.
You can use it twice a day under your moisturizer. I started using it last night and also this morning and my skin has been feeling great with it!
Also, the company is socially conscious and they donate proceeds to give clean water, food and education to children in need supporting several nonprofits including No Kid Hungry and SF Marin Food Bank.
I'm looking forward to trying more of the products from cocokind now that I know they are available at Whole Foods.
