Just Can’t Get Enough: Zosimos Botanicals

By Leah

If you’re a greeny, a person obsessed with eating, sleeping and doing all things eco, this company is for you. Zosimos Botanicals is a business that prides itself in pure skincare handcrafted inside a fully wind-powered workshop. As a green enterprise, Zosimos focuses on small quantities that encompass plant-based raw materials, such as, waxes, extracts, herbs, and plant oils. Additionally Zosimos avoids testing on fury critters and stays clear from use of synthetic chemicals and other foreign toxins.

We are in love with the Raspberry N Honey Dry Facial Mask ($20). Linda Stein, Zosimos Botanicals Formulator/Founder tells us the benefit of using a dry mask. “With a hydrated mask, there is a shelf life issue, and with a dry mask, our customer can measure out and hydrate the product whenever they wish, which makes it more versatile and fresh.” Stein also points out that honey serves as a natural humectant as it pulls moisture from the air, so it’s good to use in humid temps or after a hot shower.

The special ingredients that make this mask so novel is quite simple; it includes, honey, pink French clay, Moroccan lava clay and raspberry. Lastly all Zosimos recipes are free from petroleum products, talc, heavy metals, sodium laureth or lauryl sulfide, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance oils or FD&C colorants. Eco peeps: it doesn’t get any better than this.
