Description
Natural skin care for a nourished, healthy glow. Since 2003, we have been formulating luxurious botanical face and body products that perform. Cocoon Apothecary is a natural skin care line launched in 2003 by Jessica Burman. It’s a family business that operates in the heart of Kitchener, Ontario where we create top-of-the-line products that nourish and rejuvenate your skin to bring out a healthy, flawless complexion. Our secret is in the carefully-selected organic ingredients that we import from all over the world and the gentle, non-toxic formulas in which we blend them. We aren’t about the harsh quick fix solutions that are so popular in the skin care industry right now (they can actually harm skin over time and inevitably speed up aging). We are about putting whole ingredients on the skin, ones that you would put in your body. The era of putting cheap synthetic plastic on your face is drawing to a close and we want to reintroduce people to a new era of natural beauty, similar to the one that existed before the petroleum age. Our products are a way for you to connect with nature, no matter where you are or what season you are in.

Red Carpet, Green Dress
My interesting interview with Suzy Amis Cameron about her Oscar event Red Carpet Green Dress.
Why I Only Wear Green on the Red Carpet
The green beauty industry is full of options but we can't say the same for green fashion. Fortunately, this is changing thanks to forces like Suzy Amis Cameron whose Red Carpet Green Dress brings major awareness to ethical fashion. Check out Sophie Turner's winning dress tonight at the Oscar's!

Ancient Mud being made. There is nothing like it to nourish, detox and exfoliate. Our pores get clogged with all kinds of pollutants including heavy metals like lead and mercury nanoparticles. Clay draws them out and gives your skin a revived lustre. #skin #skincare #greenbeauty #pure #purity #keepitsimple #beauty

15 minutes after my bath and the bubbles formed into a heart. Everyone ❤️ our bubble bath. It seems like every time I bump into someone, they start gushing about it. It might be the best bubble bath ever.

The skin around your eyes is thinner and more delicate than the rest of your face, which is why we formulated our Eyewaken Eye Cream to be light but moisturizing. It hydrates and supports the area without creating a heaviness. Organic cornflower hydrosol is the star ingredient because it has gentle astringent properties perfect for soothing puffiness and bags. #greenbeauty #skincare #beauty #beautytips #beautysolutions #eyes #organic #vegan #natural #botanical #cornflower #eyecream

Experimenting with sea buckthorn. Wow what a colour. May have gone too far, may not have. The cream goes on bright orange but then gives your skin a golden, natural look. Hmmmm....#greenbeauty #seabuckthorn #antioxidants #beautiful #cream #skincare #beauty

A typical shaving cream's ingredients are butane, propane, isobutane, and sodium laureth sulfate. When you shave, your pores becomes vulnerable to harsh ingredients and can get inflamed with redness, and bumps. Our shaving cream is formulated with gentle ingredients such as organic coconut oil, cucumber, aloe and fir tree that soothe skin and combat redness. Shave with Fir Balsam + Clove is a silky smooth formula that provides a smooth glide, won't dull razors, and can be used as a shave lotion or a foam with a brush. As with most high-quality natural formulas, a little goes a long way. #shave #men #grooming #shavingproducts #skincare #kwawesome #barbershop
