Bionic Giveaway - L'uvalla Organic Skincare Set!
In order to win…
Simply leave a comment below with a FACT you learned about organic skin care from the L’uvalla Skincare website. There’s a lot of mis-information and mis-labeling lately of organic and natural products in the beauty industry. So I thought we could all use a quick course on what “natural” and “organic” actually mean in the cosmetics world.
For instance, I learned that the “Eco-Cert COSMEBIO label, the most rigorous organic cosmetics recognition in the world, certifies that a minimum of 95% of total ingredients are natural and a minimum of 95% of plant ingredients are organic”.
The Rules: One (1) winner will be chosen randomly from the qualified entrants and will receive a L’uvalla Organic Skincare Balancing System set, as detailed above. Retail value is $101.62. To qualify for entry, you must follow the entry rules as outlined in this post. This giveaway is open to USA residents only. Please enter only once; duplicate entries will be detected and discarded. Entry deadline is January 19th, 2010 at midnight USA ET. The winner will be chosen via Random.org and will be announced here on Bionic Beauty and contacted via email. *Please note that I will never share your email address with anyone! I only use your email address to contact you if you are a winner. However, if you do not enter a valid email address, you will be disqualified. Please DO NOT post your email address in the comment body… *just* in the email address field (for your own safety).

Hi!
Here’s something I didn’t know from the FAQ:
” Salt, minerals, natural emollients and emulsifiers will not be able to receive an organic certification.”
“Organic” is a strict certification that identifies both the product’s ingredients and the production process itself as environmentally sound. And “natural” items come from a natural source.
NATURAL ORGANIC PRODUCTS ARE NOT CLUTTERED WITH FILLERS AND PRESERVATIVES.
I was surprised to learn about L’uvalla’s wide scope of planning for the future, as described thus: Yuvalla, is thriving as a social wellness community, dedicated to personal and global health, balance, sustainability and transformation. I also learned how to properly pronounce L’uvalla. as Yuvalla.
Organic products contain no chemicals, fillers or toxins to harm our bodies.

I learned that “L’uvalla’s organic certification is the most stringent in the world, and offers the highest assurance of organic purity.” They even exceed the very stringent requirements for Cosmebio/Eco-Cert Certification in that 100% of all L’uvalla active ingredients are organic.

L’uvalla Organic Age Defying System claims to remove toxins as well as reduce signs of aging. Wow, I could use some of that!

It’s a myth that chemicals are more powerful or effective than natural ingredients. In fact, chemicals are derived from natural products but conventional skin care formulas often have only highly-diluted amounts of active ingredients. Organic products such as L’uvalla do not have fillers, so they have a higher percentage of active ingredients to give you more effective results.
I love organic skincare and haircare products I have tried so far
I learned that organic products are better!
One of my favorite organic brands! I’ll pass this giveaway on to my readers!
I learned that they are concentrated products and you should be careful not to use too much at one time because it will not last as long. Their products should last about 3 months, so be aware to use small amounts.

Navigating skin care products is not easy! L’uvalla’s website takes the time to break down the ingredient list for each item. To quote them:
“We have nothing to hide! Discover what’s in our products by hovering your mouse over each ingredient.”
This access to how each ingredient works, its source, and especially what it is not, is empowering. Reading labels is not just for chemists anymore!
I learned that The Yuvalla Foundation encompasses a balance of world issues by supporting outstanding service organizations in the following six areas:
1. Microfinancing Programs

I learned that there are no chemicals or toxins in the products.
I read that People are often not aware of just how many chemicals are commonly used in skin care products, but parabens, silicones, preservatives and petrochemicals can cause skin damage or irritation, and some have been implicated in links to illness and even life-threatening disease.
After visiting the website, I have learned that with L’uvalla, I can get skin care that is natural and chemical free at a price that I can actually afford.

The Lotus flower is at the heart of the L’uvalla line providing the cleansing, antioxident properties of Lotus extract
I always wondered why many products in “natural” or “organic” skincare lines had varying percentages of organic ingredients. I learned that this is because salt, minerals, natural emollients, emulsifiers, and especially water cannot be certified organic, “products using these ingredients will have a smaller percentage of certified organic in the total ingredients.”
WoW! I learned that all L’uvalla products exceed Eco-Cert COSMEBIO standards and are 100% natural, formed with active ingredients that are certified 100% organic. AWESOME!
They don’t use synthetic preservatives, coloring agents, or genetically modified organisms!
At the Luvalla website, I learned that their balancing skincare system would be perfect for my skin! I have had a hard time finding products that aren’t too oily or drying for my combination skin, and I would love to try the balancing system. I love that many of the ingredients (such as lavender and clove flower oils) are balancing to skin when applied, and also balancing to the mind when used as aromatherapy. After reading the ingredient lists, I imagine these products smell completely amazing!
I learned that salt and minerals are not considered organic.
I was surprised to learn that “the average adult uses nine personal care products daily, exposing them to over 126 chemicals every day”. That shocked me…I wouldn’t have thought it was that much. That’s a lot of chemical exposure, and I wonder how much, if any, is actually all that good for our skin.
I learned that ” L’uvalla is made with 100% natural, organic ingredients and bears the highly-respected European COSMEBIO organic certification.”
Lotus flower is the central ingredient in L’uvalla products

I learned that organic means no pesticides AND monitoring the entire process (from field to shelf.)
I am currently testing the L’uvalla line myself. At 35, I have extremely sensitive skin and am trying to phase out unnatural ingredients and topical medications from my beauty routine. I ordered free samples from their website and I received them in the mail in just a few days. An interesting quote from their site:
“The average adult uses nine personal care products daily, exposing them to over 126 chemicals every day.”
