Look. We’ve all been there.

We’ve all beheld our cosmetic collection with a loving gaze... and those not so pristine brushes off to the side, crusted with weeks of use.

It’s the elephant in the room, and for what it’s worth: the elephant isn’t looking pretty.

This week, we are excited to spotlight one of our most used (and beneficial) natural ingredients, coconut oil! Prior to starting Urban Oreganics, we spent a great deal of time researching all-natural ingredients to create our beauty and skincare products. Coconut oil immediately stood out as being multi-beneficial, and since it is so plentiful, we knew it would provide an excellent base for many of our products.

I started using natural and organic beauty products over a decade ago, when the options were limited and natural beauty was more “hippie” than mainstream. I became fascinated with how what we eat and what we put on our skin can help or hinder our health. When I became a mom it was just as, if not more, important to continue using quality products on my skin and then on my daughter’s skin.

This week, we’re excited to introduce a new series highlighting the all-natural ingredients we use in our handcrafted skincare line. Prior to starting Urban Oreganics, I spent a great deal of time scouring Pinterest for DIY beauty products. One ingredient I kept reading about over and over were pure cosmetic clays. They are found in many skincare and cosmetic items on the market shelves. All-natural, quality clays offer important minerals, drawing abilities, and detoxification properties for skin health.

This week, we're headed all the way to Germany to chat with Charlotte about her experience using Urban Oreganics.

Going “all-natural” in the body odor department has been such a hot topic lately… pun intended. Working in the small-batch beauty industry for over five years now, we’ve found that switching to a natural deodorant is either the first healthy swap someone makes or the very last. So we’ve gathered some tips to make the transition smooth and painless.

We’re back this week with our popular Real Skin, Real Results series. This time we're chatting with Angie. Angie didn’t start having issues with her skin until after having her first child. Read more about her journey below.

What if you could have an all-day facial moisturizer that never felt greasy and didn’t contain harsh chemicals? Well, look no further! Perhaps our most popular product to date, our green tea Facial Cream is the perfect, non-toxic alternative to store bought moisturizers. Our Facial Cream actually started as a request from a friend. She was wanting a facial cream that would be anti-aging and also prevent and treat acne. After weeks of research and development, we were able to nail down this best-selling formula. From that first full batch, it was an instant hit!

This week, we're sharing Haley's story.

We take so much pride in the high-quality skin care products that we provide our customers. Every product is a result of extensive research, trial and error, and human - NEVER animal - testing. We rely on customer feedback for improvements and new products as well. For over a year we had customers requesting a serum that could moisturize and minimize fine lines around the eyes. After researching and playing with ingredients and formulas, we created our multi-purpose Eye Serum.
