SKIN TREATMENT: NUDE SKINCARE CLARIFYING WATER NUDE Skincare was founded by Bryan Meehan, the London-based nutrition guru also behind Fresh & Wild natural health food stores. After feeding the body, he decided to ‘feed’ the skin—the body’s largest organ—with natural, effective ingre-dients. Bryan’s partner, Ali Hewson, the Irish businesswoman and activist perhaps best known as Bono’s wife, brought her expertise in the ethical business realm to the table, and NUDE was born. NUDE products are bio-compatible, which means that they incorporate ingredients recognized by the body, repairing and renewing at a cellular level, with visible results. NUDE Skincare’s Clarifying Water is effective on a broad range of skin types, helping to balance, soothe, smooth and refresh the complexion using potent extracts of orange floral water, Siberian ginseng, Irish moss and natural Beta Hydroxy Acids. $20. LIPSTICK: CARGO PLANTLOVE Canadian cosmetics brand Cargo is known for innovative for-mulas and eco-conscious packaging, and has become a go-to line for film and fashion professionals. Their PlantLove collection uses biodegradable packaging made entirely of corn and potent organic ingredients. The newest collection was designed in col-laboration with Hollywood celebrities. Try Maria, a sheer poppy red cream designed with Maria Menounos. $20 PERFUME: RICH HIPPIE Perfume was once a natural concoction derived from fresh ingre-dients and wine alcohol. Budget-conscious fragrance companies have since turned to synthetic chemicals, but Rich Hippie has taken the trade back to its roots. Made using wine alcohol and organic extracts, their scents don’t come cheap at $255 per 1/2 oz. bottle, with an Eau de Parfum at $38. Our favorite: Psychedelic, a unisex blend of vanilla bean, ginger root, and orange peel. 15
