Raw Natural Beauty – a brand to recognize

In my continuous pursuit and challenge to find the best all natural and organic brands that are free from harmful and toxic chemicals for my green makeup kit, I discovered a brand that fits my mantra. Raw Natural Beauty not only fosters the same beliefs that I hold very close to my heart in regards to consciousness in cosmetics, this brand also produces some great products that I am proud to say are a part of my everyday working makeup kit.

Behind the brand
After working for more than 10 years as a product developer for several large cosmetics companies, Christina Marcaccini, the founder and creator of Raw Natural Beauty saw firsthand the widespread use of potentially harmful chemicals in beauty products. In growing frustrated by the industry’s unwillingness to invest in the research needed to find safer, more natural ingredients, she was inspired to create RAW Natural Beauty to give women a better choice when it came to their skin care and makeup.

Ingredients
Formulated with revitalizing active botanicals that help to nourish, protect and defy the signs of aging, Raw Natural Beauty ingredients are grown using sound ecological practices. All products are formulated without harsh chemicals, artificial colors (FD&C and D&C), petrochemical, artificial preservatives such as parabens, or artificial fragrances that can irritate skin and clog pores.

Product offerings
The three brands that encompass Raw Natural Beauty offer a minimal yet defined set of everyday products that are easy to incorporate and use as part of your all natural beauty regimen:

RAWMinerals features a wonderful set of mineral based makeup for the face and eyes. To help find the perfect shade for your complexion you can utilize the Raw Minerals Shade Selector to help customize and demonstrate looks you can achieve using several different color palettes.

RAWColor delivers pure botanical color pigments to the face, cheeks and lips that provide lasting natural looks while helping to promote the condition and texture of the skin.
