The face of organic skin care

Colleen Hague stresses natural for her products

Vanessa Farquharson, National Post

Organic moisturizers are flooding the cosmetics market now, but how many of them would you actually eat? It sounds like a silly question but considering our skin absorbs most of what gets slathered on it each day, it might be time to start asking which ingredients are used in these lotions and what effect they have on our bodies.

in British Columbia and Nova Scotia!

 


Every Day is Earth Day at Awaken My Senses

The Awaken My Senses "Reduce Your Footprint" glass container return program.

If you are interested in finding new ways to reduce your impact on the environment, we feel the same way!

Return your empty glass Awaken My Senses product container to the participating store where you purchased it, and receive $1 off your next Awaken My Senses purchase.

We will thoroughly clean and sterilize the container so that it can be re-used to package a fresh batch of our natural organic skin care products.

In this way we help to reduce our environmental footprint through less demand for glass product and less volume going into landfills.


We are now in Alberta! (May 2009)

Awaken My Senses is pleased to announce our products are now
available in Planet Organic stores in Calgary and Edmonton,
and in Nutters Bulk & Natural Foods stores in Canmore and Red Deer!

Check our "where to buy" page for more information.

Making Your Own Face and Body Scrubs

Believe it or not, the best skin care products can be found in your own kitchen!

Some feedback from our Seminars:

"This seminar was a sellout and a huge success! Colleen's unique common-sense approach to skin care combined with her professional and entertaining delivery made for an outstanding event."

"I attended one of your seminars given by Goodness Me in Hamilton. It was very informative, fun, and very interesting. I have tried the natural scrubs you suggested and was very pleased with the results. I have bought some of the products and am looking to try your complete line. I loved your sense of humour ! Thank you very much!"
