For months, I’ve had an organic skincare line called L’Uvalla sitting on my beauty counter (otherwise known to my roommate as our dining room table), continually meaning to try it out…and continually forgetting or getting sidetracked.

Last week, I finally got around to testing the products, and I can say that L’Uvalla is a line I think all my natural-beauty-enthusiast readers will love (we have Katherine McKenney at Natural Beautee to thank for pushing Jolie in this organic direction!).

All L’Uvalla skincare products bear the European COSMEBIO organic certification (see below), are “sustainably produced for optimal environmental preservation,” and are free of parabens, sulfates, propylene glycol, synethtic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, GMOs, and a whole host of other chemical baddies.

Side note: What’s the COSMEBIO/Eco-Cert Certification?
It’s considered the strictest certification available for natural/organic products. To receive this certification, products must meet the following requirements:

A minimum of 95% of the total ingredients must be natural
A minimum of 10% of the total ingredients must be organic
A minimum of 95% of the total Plant ingredients must be organic

I’m currently using the Gentle Foaming Cleanser ($26.99) and Eucalyptus Toner ($30.99), which are both gentle enough for dry and sensitive skin, but suitably cleansing and clarifying for oily, acne prone complexions (like the oil-slick blemish factory Jolie has going on).  If you’re in the market for natural skincare that’s still glamorous, read their FAQs about organic/natural products and check the line out for yourself!

   Tried some samples I received from a whole foods store last year. Liked the way the products smell. Love that they are not tested on animals.
