letter from publisher

ummertime…

Central Indiana comes to big-hearted life in summer with cool outdoor activities and events that encourage us to get out and about to enjoy all our community has to offer. With summer concerts under the stars and 30 farmers’ markets throughout the week, we can revel everyday in healthy, family-friendly pursuits.

Jenn Willhite uncovers top recreational, educational and entertainment opportunities around town in our local feature, “Indy Parks, Trails & Museums… Oh My!” Yes, the good ‘ole summertime has arrived in Indiana, and it’s fun to look forward to all it has to offer, and the longer sunlit days in which to enjoy it.

I’m from the Midwest, born and raised in Michigan before moving to Indianapolis in my 20s. I love experiencing the four seasons (sometimes all in one day), all kinds of sports, backyard picnics, yards for kids to play in and the strong sense of community here. The people are real, friendships can last a lifetime and neighbors tend to know and help one another.

I appreciate living in a city like ours, which offers an abundance of quality activities and amenities, yet maintains comfortable, small-town sensibilities. Metro Indy’s quality of life encompasses recreational and green space, affordable housing, a low cost of living and a vibrant farm-to-table movement. That’s just for starters.

Indiana’s capital city has received national recognition for the Indy 500, the renowned Children’s Museum and the world’s first LEED-certified (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) airport campus. Downtown is ranked in the U.S. top three best downtowns according to Livability.com. It’s a destination location for large conventions and new residents looking for convenient, walkable access to great restaurants, performing arts, entertainment, sports, museums and parks.

John D. Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist’s June feature article explores the factors that contribute to quality of life in “Livable Communities We Love: Good for People and the Planet.” Livability reflects the sum of all positive factors that add up to wonderful, including built and natural environments, economic prosperity, social stability and equity, educational opportunity, cultural venues, entertainment and recreation.

We’re also excited that suburban Carmel, Indiana, is highlighted in the article as an example of America’s most livable cities. It receives special mention for its vibrant central core, miles of trails and pathways, installation of roundabouts to replace stoplights and reduce traffic congestion, and fostering overall a balanced work-liveplay concept.

Indianapolis is no longer the “nap-town” of years past, and all of us are benefitting from the resurgence, growth and vibrancy of a metropolis with forward momentum. I’m grateful to live in a welcoming community that offers opportunities to explore and expand healthy lifestyle options, pursue personal interests and fulfilling work, and enjoy strong connections with family and friends. It’s all a tremendously supportive in achieving a balanced life.

Wishing you summertime pleasures,

HEALTHY LIVING HEALTHY PLANET

Celebrate International Day of Yoga at Monument Circle

Y

ogis and yoga enthusiasts in our area are gearing up for Indy’s largest yoga event to be held on the International Day of Yoga, which coincides with summer solstice. The sixth annual Monumental Yoga will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. on June 21 downtown at Monument Circle, where yoga practitioners of all levels will gather for the area’s largest outdoor yoga class.

This free event, organized by the Athenaeum Foundation, is the ideal environment to introduce those that are new to the practice to a variety of yoga practices and styles taught by local and regional instructors. This year’s miniclass schedule includes meditation and yoga for athletes, as well as kundalini, Bikram and yin yogas.

Monumental Yoga’s vendor village, open from 4 to 8:30 p.m., will feature many local yoga schools, holistic health services and one-of-a-kind vendors offering everything from beauty and healthcare products and food and drinks to jewelry, yoga supplies and apparel.

The family-friendly event will culminate in a donation-based summer solstice class at 7 p.m. Proceeds benefit Indy Yoga Movement, a nonprofit that brings yoga to Indianapolis public schools. Participants should bring their own mats and water bottle.

In the first scientific study of facial exercise, 27 middleaged women that performed specific facial muscle movements looked an average of two-and-a-half years younger in 20 weeks based on a standardized scale called the Merz-Carruthers Facial Aging Photoscales.

By doing the exercises for 30 minutes each day or every other day, the fullness of both the upper and lower cheeks, in particular, of the women were significantly enhanced, report Northwestern University researchers.

“The exercises enlarge and strengthen the facial muscles, so the face becomes firmer and more toned and shaped like a younger face,” says lead author Murad Alam, a medical doctor.

Some of the study exercises can be found by searching the topic of Happy Face Yoga on YouTube.

More than half of teens and young adults that have slaked their thirst with energy drinks report consequently suffering negative health consequences, reports a new study from Canada’s University of Waterloo. Of 2,055 Canadian participants between ages 12 and 24, 55.4 percent said they had negative health events afterwards.

Of these, 26.5 percent trembled and felt jittery, 24.7 percent had faster heartbeats and 22.5 percent noted “jolt and crash” episodes—a spell of alertness followed by a sudden drop in energy.

Another 5.1 percent experienced nausea or diarrhea and 0.2 percent, seizures. Most respondents said they drank only one or two energy drinks at a time.

Scientists Discover Alcohol-Cancer Link

New Healthy Coffee Alternative

Success by Health (SBH), a new, re-branded company in the healthy lifestyle industry with its Reishi Mushroom-infused coffee products, now offers two healthy coffee products—Café Noir and Café Latte—in the natural beverage niche market for sales affiliates.

They are formulated with the Reishi (Ganoderma) Mushroom, to help eliminate unhealthy caffeine in coffee, and with it, the unpleasant metabolic crashes associated with conventional coffee products. They smooth out the traditional highs, lows, jitters and resulting negative pH levels in the body.

SBH is the latest direct marketing company started by Jay Noland, a former professional baseball player well-known in the direct selling industry. His business model eliminates the retail middleman through individual, independent sales affiliates. Each affiliate purchases a packet of Café Noir, the standard black coffee, for 68 cents a cup, and asks others they know and meet, “Do you drink coffee?” It’s an easy way to initiate a dialogue about the latest in healthy coffee.

SBH founding members and independent affiliates are Dr. James Marinakis, an internationally recognized alternative medicine practitioner, in Boca Raton, Florida, and Jo Dee Baer, an age-group record-setting triathlete and health coach in Central Florida.

To join the SBH team as an affiliate and improve health while increasing wealth, call 800-681-4926 or email 68CentsACup@gmail.com.

Alcohol has been linked to seven types of cancer, including breast and bowel, and scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, in Cambridge, UK, have tracked down a possible cause. In lab tests, they found that when the body processes alcohol, acetaldehyde is produced. Acetaldehyde alters and damages DNA within blood stem cells, leading to rearranged chromosomes and a greater likelihood of cancer.

Mangoes Carry Health Benefits Mangoes contain potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties that may prove useful in treating gastrointestinal disease, cognitive decline and diabetes, report scientists at the University of Palermo, in Italy.

Also, Texas A&M researchers have found that 300 people with Crohn’s disease that ate 200 to 400 grams of commercially available frozen mangoes daily for eight weeks had fewer digestive symptoms, improved inflammation biomarkers and less colon cancer-linked molecules in their digestive tracts.

Cincinnati has contracted with the energy company Dynegy to purchase 100 percent renewable energy to operate most of its municipal facilities through at least 2021. The green energy will power police and fire stations, health clinics, recreation centers and most administrative buildings, including city hall.

The city’s greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by more than 9 percent and its utility rates by more than $100,000 annually. The deal will bring the city closer to its goal of running on 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

Boston Ban

Plastic Bags Get the Boot

Boston will join 59 other Massachusetts municipalities and hundreds of others across the nation, including Seattle, Washington, and Washington, D.C., in banning single-use plastic shopping bags by the end of this year. Instead, Boston shoppers must bring their own totes or pay store owners five cents or more for a thicker, compostable plastic bag or a larger paper bag with handles. “This new ordinance protects the health of our neighborhoods and environment, while at the same time easing the burden on taxpayers and saving local retailers millions,” says Kirstie Pecci, director of the Conservation Law Foundation’s Zero Waste Project.

A Portland startup online at LandApart.com is expanding the shareeconomy Airbnb-model concept to private landowners and campers.

People that want to camp or rent a cabin in a beautiful area can pay a private landowner for access. CEO Ven Gist says the move is in part a response to sometimes crowded public lands that often cannot be reserved. He says, “We’re basically collaborating with landowners to open up new wild spaces that people can find and book for truly secluded, unique outdoor experiences.” Prices average between $30 and $40 per night.

Simple Eco-Houses on the Upswing

A new Ukrainian homebuilding startup called Passivdom uses a 3-D printing robot to produce parts for tiny houses. The machine can print the walls, roof and floor of the company’s 380-square-foot model in about eight hours. The windows, doors and self-contained plumbing, sewage and self-electrical systems are then added by a human worker.

Solar energy is stored in a battery.

Filtered water collects from humidity in the air. Prices start at $64,000 per house (Passivedom).

M.A.DI., in Italy, produces prefabricated A-frame houses in five sizes that can be set up anywhere. The basic model is rated an energy class B, but can be upgraded with an option of adding solar panels to make the structures energy-independent.

Homes made by Lifehaus blend low-cost, off-grid appeal with holistic living and luxurious details.

The Lebanon company is pioneering energy-neutral dwellings made from locally sourced and recycled materials. Green home dwellers will also be able to generate electricity and grow their own food.

Tom Wood Subaru continues to exhibit its support for the local community and commitment to charitable works, eco-friendly practices and customer-focused performance. On May 24, the dealer celebrated their initiatives with a special series of events and recognition from Subaru of America, Inc.

The afternoon kicked off with the presentation of a check to the company’s 2018 Share the Love Charity Chaucie’s Place, a 501(c) (3) Hamilton County-based nonprofit that focuses on youth advocacy, helping prevent child sexual abuse and youth suicide through high-quality, evidence-based prevention programs.

Then, the Tom Wood Subaru dealership received the 2017 Love Promise Customer and Community Commitment Award from Subaru, an accolade awarded to select elite Subaru retailers nationwide for their exceptional customer service and dedication to their communities.

The Subaru Love Promise is a way for Subaru retailers to show their respect for all people and to help those that believe in making the world a better place, with commitment to the environment, community, health, education and pets. Locally, Tom Wood Subaru has demonstrated partnerships with a variety of local charities and nonprofits, including Spay and Neuter Services of Indiana, ASPCA, Allisonville Elementary School, St. Vincent Hospital, TerraCycle, and Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital.

The event concluded with the public debut for Subaru’s all-new, three-row Ascent. The SUV model is the largest Subaru has ever offered and features seating for up to eight passengers and driver-assist technology which is sure to make every day an adventure.

Green Up Your Beauty Routine

by Jenn Willhite

G

etting back to basics with one’s beauty routine can pay great dividends over the short and long term.

Nixing pesky chemicals from beauty and self-care routines can seem daunting, especially with so many acronyms and hard-to-pronounce ingredient names on product labels. Yet, trading harmful ingredients for nature’s best is easier when you do your homework and go directly to the source.

Bea White, an independent consultant with Pure Haven, says her company offers 100 percent toxin-free alternatives for any and every product you use on a daily basis.

The reason one should switch from artificial to organic, natural products is quite simple, she says. “Pay now or pay

later,” White says. “You are worth paying more for your products today because it’s going to cost you more if you are using toxic products now as you are going to spend a lot more on your health care later.”

In trying to figure out how toxic some items may be, White recommends checking out the Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep database at EWG. org. “They can enter the product name and get info on its toxicity,” the Indianapolis resident says. “It is completely independent.”

The database has information about 70,000-plus products that are searchable via brand or product name. Product information is ranked from one to 10 based on hazard level.

For instance, parabens are a

pervasive ingredient included in beauty products as a preservative according to a report on HuffingtonPost.com. Although intended to simply slow the growth of bacteria and mold as the product ages, parabens mimic organic cellular activity and are associated with increased risk of cancer.

Another common harmful ingredient is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Found in nearly all personal care products, including many shampoos and body washes, SLS can contribute to respiratory and kidney issues as it’s absorbed into the body (HuffingtonPost.com).

To make the switch and researching natural/organic local products, there are some online and local resources to get you started:

Goddess Mountain Naturals

Mary Baker, owner of Goddess Mountain Naturals, offers Marvelous Mend, a handcrafted salve designed to help heal bruises faster and aid in the restoration of wounds, cuts and scrapes, among other benefits to body and skin. The salve contains the mending herbs calendula and plantain infused into carrier oils (coconut and olive), as well as essential oils, locally sourced Indiana beeswax and vitamin E. Goddess Mountain Naturals products are available through Baker’s online store, and locally at The Good Earth, in Broad Ripple.

For more information, call 317-263-4660 or visit GoddessMountain.com.

The following retailers in our area help customers reap the benefits of a holistic skincare and beauty regimen by offering supplemental items, like natural and organic grocery and supplements.

The Good Earth

Good for People and the Planet

by John D. Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist

any people define a livable city as one that is easy to get around in by foot, bike or public transportation. Many also prioritize ready access to fresh, local, organic food via farmers’ markets and community gardens. Others champion affordable housing and cost of living factors, safe neighborhoods with a diversity of people, careful stewardship of clean air and water, and plentiful amenities, including considerable open space and natural settings. Many work to preserve and enhance a sense of place suited to the locale.

Partners for Livable Communities, a national nonprofit in Washington, D.C., that renews and restores communities, maintains, “Livability is the sum of the factors that add up to a community’s quality of life, including the built and natural environments, economic prosperity, social stability and equity, educational opportunity and cultural, entertainment and recreation possibilities.” The American Association of Retired Persons considers livable communities as age-friendly for young 18

and old alike.

Along with economic opportunities, a leading stimulus in moving to urban centers is, “More people are looking for a sociable environment where they can walk out of their door to the shops or transit and be among others they recognize who also recognize them,” observes Suzanne Lennard, director of the International Making Cities Livable Conferences, LLC, in Portland, Oregon. “People who have traveled abroad, especially to Europe, and tasted the quality of life possible in a truly livable, walkable, beautiful and sociable city, often want to find such a place to live themselves.”

Following are a few examples of America’s many livable cities. More are transitioning and evolving as city planners, government officials, businesses and nonprofit community organizations strive to make their hometowns both peopleand planet-friendly, often through public and private partnerships.

Street-Scene Renaissance In Pittsburgh, revitalization is

transforming 10,000 parcels of vacant or abandoned land—some where steel mills formerly operated—into greenspace, bike lanes and other enticing and productive public areas. “Biking and our food scene have exploded,” says Chris Sandvig, director of policy with the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group, which advocates for equitable urban revitalization through their Vacant Property Working Group, helping communities access blighted areas for pennies on the dollar. “We’re now one of the top 10 bicycling commuter cities in the country. People also come here as food tourists due to vibrant local agricultural activity.”

“A related ideal is to create compact, human-scale, mixed-use urban centers in the suburbs that are less expensive to construct—and thus remain more affordable—while placing shops, schools, parks, services, workplaces and public transit within walking and biking distance,” Lennard notes. “This ensures a healthy, affordable and high quality of life for all; suburban, as well as urban.”

Fast-growing Carmel, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis, is following suit.

“After years of watching the suburbs sprawl into subdivisions with large lawns, privacy fences and cul-de-sacs, we created a vibrant central core with apartments, townhomes, condos and new options for smaller homes—all within walking distance or a short bike ride to new places to work, shop and dine,” explains Mayor James Brainard. The design efforts serve people instead of cars.

“Carmel has spent the last 20-plus years building more than 900 miles of trails and multi-use pathways, enabling residents to commute by bicycle to work and enjoy easy access to a growing number of parks and recreational areas,” says Brainard. To facilitate traffic flow, some 100 roundabouts replaced stoplights and four-way stops. “Reducing traffic congestion has improved our air quality, and saved gasoline and lives.” A new, mixeduse downtown Arts and Design District includes a Center for the Performing Arts with a Center Green that hosts a farmers’ market in summer and an outdoor

Christkindlmarkt and outdoor skating rink in winter.

“The old way of doing things in which cities and towns sat back and let the market dictate how a community should be grown must come to an end,” remarks Brainard, advocating the benefits of local governance.

Smart City Advantages

Key elements of smart cities—sensors, cameras, data analytics and powerful networks that capture and relay vital information—help them become more energy-efficient or quicker to respond to environmental and residential issues. Such products highlighted the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas. Reducing traffic can also contribute to safer highways and shorter commutes with decreased greenhouse gas emissions.

“Citizens are using apps to monitor issues and alert city managers, improving the livability of their communities,” explains Steve Koenig, senior director of market research with the Consumer Technology Association.

In Boston, the app BOS:311 allows residents to instantaneously notify government departments of pollution concerns, like blocked drains and other environmental or community needs, feeding the information directly into the city’s work order system via their mobile phone. This real-time collaboration results in a cleaner, safer and healthier city.

The Envision Charlotte project encompasses interactive kiosks in 64 businesses and government buildings citywide, gathering energy usage data for office buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So far, energy consumption has dropped 19 percent, saving companies about $26 million. The program has strengthened economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.

Nature in the City

Some cities have focused on the natural environment for improving local livability while mitigating contributions to climate change. Forested open spaces, wetlands and protected watersheds improve air

quality, protect drinking water and buffer intense storms. Such areas also connect more people with nature and engage them in communal and healthy outdoor recreation.

Portland, Oregon, boasts more than 10,000 acres of parks, plus an innovative Biketown sharing program that has facilitated 160,000 bike trips since its launch in 2016. The city’s Bike Bill requires all new streets to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians by design. Portland also embraces urban gardens and allows residents to raise chickens, bees, goats or rabbits in their backyards.

No one wants to live where pollution runs unchecked or water is unsafe to drink. Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program works to keep stormwater out of sewers and reduce rainwater runoff through decentralized soil-based and plant-based systems, including pervious pavement, green roofs and rain gardens. Begun in 2011, its goal is to reduce rainwater runoff by 85 percent by 2036. Rainwater has become a valuable community resource.

The program is just one of many ways that the City of Brotherly Love is transforming itself into one of the greenest in the United States. Overseen by the city’s Office of Sustainability, Greenworks Philadelphia devises long-term sustainability strategies that encompass eight facets, including clean and efficient energy, carbon-neutrality and zero waste. Preparations are already underway to cope with a hotter, wetter future.

Preserving a Sense of Place

Making communities livable goes beyond infrastructure. Actions usually involve preserving, protecting and enhancing what appeals to residents.

Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one example of many where livability priorities are guided by the values of its residents and its sense of place.

“From our historic public square and marketplaces to outdoor cafes, farmers’ markets and community festivals; from human-scale architecture and balanced transportation to pedestrian

Good Life as Kids See It

Ultimately, making cities move livable for children can make them highly livable for all. “Children need the same things from a city that we all need, but their needs are greater than ours,” says Lennard. “The environment a child grows up in shapes their health and their mental and social development for the rest of their lives. Our modern, unwalkable suburban environments are contributing to childhood obesity, which has been widely linked to chronic diseases that in the past were only associated with old age.”

She notes, “Children need the exercise of walking or biking to school. They need safe streets so they can become independent and explore their neighborhoods; sidewalks and other outdoor areas where they can play, meet friends and interact with adults in the community; easy access to nature; beauty in their environment; and intriguing architecture, works of art and other places to stimulate their affection and imagination. As they become teenagers, they need access by foot or bike to a wide variety of resources to broaden their horizons. Don’t we all need these things?”

Why Timeouts Matter

n a harried world where our work is never done, it’s tough to take timeouts to do nothing. Yet, when we pump the brakes on Americans’ obsessive drive, we discover fresh productivity, creativity and contentment.

“We’re socialized to pride ourselves on accomplishment and achievement, yet when you step back, you realize doing nothing produces a valuable currency, especially in enhanced mental health,” says Colleen Long, a Boston psychologist and author of Happiness in B.A.L.A.N.C.E: What We Know Now About Happiness.

Italians call it la dolce far niente, or the sweetness of doing nothing, while the Dutch word niksen translates as “doing something without a purpose”. Here are a few tips to reclaim the art of be-ing over do-ing.

Mindfully do nothing. It’s not

about vegging out with passive activities like watching TV or checking email. It’s a time to come alive to our senses and surroundings, whether listening to music or people-watching, free of distractions from phone calls or anxious thoughts.

Relax into the moment.

Acknowledge guilty feelings when they arise, but don’t heed them. It takes time to undo mental programming and learn to quiet the voice urging, “Don’t just stand there, do something!”

Soy. In a Japanese study published in the Nutrition Journal, researchers surveyed 1,076 participants between 20 and 78 on how often they ate soy products, which are rich in sleepenhancing isoflavones. Those that ate the most soy foods enjoyed deeper, more sustained sleep. Researchers concluded that soy’s isoflavones help regulate the sleep/ wake cycle.

3

Tart cherry juice. A study by the University of Rochester, in New York, found that older adults drinking two, eight-ounce servings of tart red cherry juice daily, one in the morning and one at night for two weeks, enjoyed moderate sleep improvement, comparable to taking the herb valerian and melatonin.

4

Fish. Salmon, halibut, mackerel and tuna help boost the production of vitamin B6, which helps make melatonin. A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania published in Scientific Reports found that eating more fish led both to better sleep and improved cognitive function in children.

Fiber-rich foods. Choices such as chia seeds, nuts and whole grains help promote restorative “slowwave” sleep, according to the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

Calcium-fortified yogurt. According to Dr. William Sears, a pediatrician in Pasadena, California, and author of The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night’s Rest for the Whole Family, “Calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to manufacture the sleep-inducing substance melatonin.

This explains why dairy products, which contain both tryptophan and calcium, are some of the top sleep-inducing foods.”

7

Bananas. Rich in potassium, magnesium, tryptophan and vitamin B6, which are used to make melatonin, bananas help promote good sleep. A study in

the Journal of Pineal Research found that men that ate two bananas at a time for a week had a rise in melatonin that reached a peak two hours later; pineapple juice and orange juice also raised those levels.

8

Walnuts.

Eating a handful of walnuts an hour before bedtime provides fiber- supporting, restorative, slow-wave sleep, concluded a study in the journal Nutrition. Plus, walnuts are a good source of tryptophan, which helps make serotonin and melatonin; University of Texas researchers also found that walnuts contain their own source of melatonin.

All-Natural Beauty

Health Concerns Revolutionize the Cosmetics Industry

by Marlaina Donato

F

rom red carpets to Teen Vogue magazine, the natural beauty trend has taken the industry by storm. Consumer whims may have sparked its beginnings more than a decade ago, but demand is now spiking profits into the billions.

“Consumer need is influencing retailers to offer cleaner formulas reflecting firm eco-values,” says Karen Behnke, the pioneering entrepreneur who founded Juice Beauty, in San Rafael, California. Behnke aimed to create meaningful change in the industry when she assembled her dream team 13 years ago. The company now owns a trailblazing patent and sets the standard for clinical organics.

“We’re excited that traditional department stores such as Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Holt Renfrew are adding our products to their beauty departments,” says Behnke, who attributes Juice Beauty’s tremendous growth in recent years to a surge of interest in chemical-free, luxury alternatives.

Indianapolis Edition

Natural Replaces Toxic A recent Green Beauty Barometer online survey revealed that more than half of women want their skincare products to be all-natural, a result likely driven by the scientific information age (see KariGran.com/pages/greenbeauty for details). Reputable scientific studies revealing parabens in breast cancer biopsies have demonstrated that everything applied to the skin also enters the bloodstream, hence the effectiveness of dermal nicotine and birth control patches. Thus, it can be alarming to realize that the average woman will unknowingly consume seven pounds of lipstick containing petroleum-based emollients, synthetic preservatives and artificial dyes during a lifetime, undoubtedly another reason consumers are switching to natural options.

AwakenIndy.com

Katey Denno, a Los Angeles makeup artist to the stars, noticed cosmetic red flags early in her career.

“The first time I turned over a palette that most makeup artists carry and saw specific colors that couldn’t be used on eyes or lips, I was confused; if something isn’t safe for lips or eyes, how can it be good for any part of us?” queries Denno, who switched from social work to makeup artistry 11 years ago. “The change in the industry has been substantial. Now green is mainstream, and most artists have included some green beauty brands in their kits.”

Millennials continue to drive consumer demand for higher standards.

“Retailers understand that the skincare/ makeup landscape is changing,” advises Behnke. “Traditional brands are no longer attracting younger consumers that are demanding organic, clinically validated products.”

Denno concurs, stating, “The spotlight on clean products comes from the growing acknowledgement that we can and must do all we can to lower our overall toxic load.”

Demand Escalates Women are fueling the natural beauty movement, yet more men than ever are also seeking healthy alternatives. Grooming products with unisex packaging and fragrances are among top sellers. Informed teen and 20-something buyers are inclined to choose people- and eco-friendly brands that are also cruelty-free.

A wide selection of aluminumfree, natural, personal care products including underarm deodorants are showing up in supermarkets.

Women are ditching toxic hair dyes and going silver to avoid thinning hair and allergies, and unwittingly, creating a new fashion statement.

Plus, there’s growing interest in DIY

cosmetics using everyday good-for-you ingredients found in the kitchen.

Artisan perfumes are gaining popularity among women that want the mystery and allure of fragrance without the side effects of manmade, chemicalbased brands. “Some new customers are frustrated by commercial products giving them headaches, while others say that they just don’t like perfume, when what they actually don’t like is synthetic fragrance chemicals,” says Ananda Wilson, a botanical perfumer and owner of Gather Perfume, in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

“It’s inspiring when they smell real plant scents and see how their world lights up! The molecules in natural perfumes are active and interact with personal chemistry, so they unfold differently on each wearer, creating a unique signature and experience.”

Wilson ventured into botanical blends when both awareness and supplies of appropriate ingredients were scarce. “Perfume history is largely rooted in natural materials, but until recently, there was a mass blackout of this precious lineage. When I started, there was barely anything available, and only through a handful of aromatherapy companies,” she explains. Now, Wilson bases her products on botanical infusions from plants she’s grown or collected, including wild beach roses, clover and spring poplar buds.

It only takes a whiff to dispel the myth that natural perfumes lack sophistication or tenacity. “Naturals have a breadth of possibilities—opulent white florals, fresh and clean, or dirty and smoky,” expounds Wilson.

Eco-beauty is emerging from conscious lifestyle choices and creating the next era of cosmetics. “It’s fun to be called a pioneer in organic beauty,” muses Behnke. “Our products, employees and happy customers comprise an encouraging accomplishment.”
