Aubrey Organics skin care: Great if you heart breaking out

2653356551 b7d83563f3 m Aubrey Organics skin care: Great if you heart breaking outAfter having tried three facial moisturizers from Aubrey Organics, I think I can safely say the eco-company’s facial care line’s not for me.

The latest item I tried: Aubrey Organics Green Tea & Ginkgo Moisturizer with SPF 15. Not only did the moisturizer separate into two layers — yellowish oil on top with a thinnish milk-scum-esque substance on the bottom — actually attempting to remix and use the concoction made me break out. To add insult to injury, the sunscreen in this moisturizer gets a horrendous ranking on Skin Deep!

Previously, I’d tried Aubrey’s Blue Green Algae with Grape Seed Extract moisturizer with SPF 15 and the Natural Herbal Maintenance Oil Balancing moisturizer — both of which also made me break out.

2654180750 201c9a9597 m Aubrey Organics skin care: Great if you heart breaking outThe only product of Aubrey I’ve really liked is the Lumessence rejuvenating eye creme (scores a “moderate hazard” 3 on Skin Deep), which comes in an uncharacteristically attractive package and works like eye cream’s supposed to. However, I’ve entered a consolidation phase of sorts, where I think what I use for my face should be gentle enough for my eye area too, thereby allowing me to cut back on the number of products I buy. Thus, I’m unlikely to buy this Aubrey product again….

Of course, it’s possible that Aubrey’s just not a good match for my particular skin type; maybe it works for others of you. Anyone use Aubrey Organics skin care products on a regular basis?

Update, 1/21/09: Three eco-friendly eye creams I’ve tried.

  1. I use Aubrey’s eye creme because I’m over 50 and I need all the help I can get! It’s not a bad product but I don’t like the pump container it comes in. Each pump pushes out way too much creme, so I waste way too much. The plastic container is not recyclable either.
    I also use the Rosa Mosqueta night creme (also scores a 3 on Skin Deep) which I do like, but it’s pricey.
    Any readers out there with suggestions for a safe, less expensive product for “mature” skin?

    Thanks!
