Marie Veronique

I love natural, organic, non-animal tested skin care.  In fact, that is my dream!!!  I want to find a natural, non-animal tested skin care line or combination of lines that works for me.

Well, Marie Veronique was a line I tried for their sun block, Creme de Jour SPF 30.  I love that this product is based on organic ingredients and oils that support your skin function.  This moisturizer uses Zinc Oxide instead of Titanium Dioxide which is a better physical UVA block.

Oh, how I wished it had worked for me.  The lovely ladies also sent me a sample of the Renaissance BP for oily, blemish prone skin.  It’s all essential oils which sounds great but the combination does not work in my mostly mild, somewhat humid city of Austin, TX.  I broke out with the oil so I stopped using it.  I continued with the Creme de Jour for a month and still didn’t stop breaking out.  Such a bummer!  I had high hopes.

You marvelous organic, cosmetic entreprenuers out there, what is an oily girl to do?!?!

Where I got it: www.MarieVeronique.net.  What it cost: $35.
