E: The Environmental Magazine, Jan-Feb, 2004 by Kerri Linden

Organics reach a whole new level with derma e's salon-style line of bodycare products. The cosmetics contain a combination of natural ingredients, including vitamins, herbs and food extracts to beautify the skin. The company offers lotions, cleansers, masks and oils sure to give positive results for any skin type, without the laundry list of synthetic chemicals normally added to many popular equivalents, derma e's papaya and soymilk cleanser ($13.50) is especially gentle, lightweight and effective, leaving skin smooth. For added pampering, herbal transdermals are available for calming, as are lotions with energizing or stress-relieving properties. CONTACT: derma e, (800)521-3342, www.dermae.net.
