Beauty pick of the week: Raw Essentials by Carol Alt

A new skincare line developed by supermodel Carol Alt is taking green beauty to the next level. Prepared in the same fashion as the food movement, the 100% raw ingredients used are never heated above 46°C, in order to preserve the purest form of vitamins and nutrients. There are no added preservatives, colours or fragrances.

The inspiration came from Carol’s own experience with eating raw, as an alternative method to combat cancer. Soon after beating the disease, Carol decided that what she put on her body was just as important as what she put in it, and began researching raw beauty products.

Best pick from the line: Night Time Age Defying Eye Serum
If you’re not quite sure about the whole ‘raw deal,’ start simple with this eye treatment. The roller ball application is cool and refreshing on tired eyes. The all-natural ingredients are rich in anti-oxidants and the pure aloe smooths and firms the under eye area while keeping skin super hydrated. Carol even dubbed this her star product, and she looks pretty good.
