Evolved Natural Skincare~Blissoma

Repeat after me: natural. Natural.  Natural.  There’s not much more you could ask for in terms of eco-consciousness with a guiding mantra like “Natural”.  And Blissoma by Irie Star does exactly that.  Irie (pronounced eye-ree) means positivity and unity, which is the motivation behind Blissoma skincare and apothecary products. Nature, positivity, and pleasure all from a soy-based candle? Sounds good to me.

The Blissoma aromatherapy line began in 2005 and is now carried nationwide, including many local Whole Foods and health centers.  They have created perfume oils categorized by the season for $24.95, and their entertaining descriptions make a visit to their website worth your while. For example:  Our Spring and Summer collection will make you want to kick off your shoes and wiggle your toes in the grass….Luscious Sunshine is a slice of a lazy summer afternoon wrapped in orange blossoms. This scent is perfect to wear with a sundress for a romp in the park. Crushed grass, sweet kisses, and sunshine…

Not out to break your budget, their skin care line is certified cruelty-free, vegetarian, and a multiple winner of fig+sage choice awards. Ranging from $8 for bar soaps to $22 for clay masks, their products are prepared with fresh herb extracts, juices, and source seed oils pressed on demand to maximize nutrient content.  Believing that life is dynamic (so true!) as is your skin, Blissoma’s skin care collection is built on the same living energy with a motto of “We feed rather than force, inspire instead of irritate.”  One of my favorites from the line is the Intense Hydration Tonique.  It was created to spray on your face after you cleanse but I find myself misting it all over my body.  Love this stuff!

Created by Julie Longyear, a self-identified “old soul in a futuristic world”, the owner and creative chemist aims to make an impact without leaving a footprint.  She is a student of life as she looks for new ways to bring her customers joy and energy via pleasurable, useful products.

Having caught the attention of various national magazines such as Yoga Journal, Surf Life for Women and Massage, Bodywork Magazine and now HipMomsGoGreen, Blissoma skin and bodycare products are a must-try for all who love their body as well the earth!
