Stylishly Organic
As the founder of Pangea Organics, Joshua Onysko made it his mission to develop a line of body-care products that use the highest quality organic and natural ingredients and still lavish you in luxury. The Pangea Organics line of skin care and body care consists of products ranging from toners and scrubs to lotions and oils—all of which are carefully formulated to be efficacious, but healthy, for the body. “Beneficial, never artificial,” Onysko says. “You can plant our packaging.” He’s serious: The company recently created a packaging for their products that can be planted to grow flowers. Furthermore, all of Pangea body care products start biodegrading within 48 hours. How’s that for sustainable?
Outstanding not only in principles but in practices as well, Pangea Organics uses fair-trade sourcing and provides a living wage to all its employees. “Pangea is constantly striving to make things that make things better, from our packaging all the way to our nonprofit, which will be funding women-owned cooperatives to produce our ingredients.”
In Tucson, aesthetic salon Face Me offers exclusive cosmetic, skin-care and hair-care lines including all-natural skin care products from England native and Hollywood favorite Tracie Martyn. Martyn’s all-natural botanical skin-care line will regenerate your skin, with absolutely no petrochemicals. Even the packaging shows consciousness—it’s printed with soy ink.
The ultimate luxury, aside from lavishing yourself in quality body care, is having it done for you. Yes, we’re talking about the spa. Plenty of spas use organic products, but leading the movement in Arizona is Moss Wellness Spa in Scottsdale, the first eco-luxury spa in the state seeking LEED certification. From its products to the insulation (which, incidentally, is made of recycled denim), Moss strives to meet the highest environmentally friendly standards. All products used are free of preservatives, and even the cleaning supplies are nontoxic. Reinforcing the serene natural environment, a Banyan tree anchors the yoga room.
