What’s your favorite 100% Pure pot rouge color?

100% Pure uses real, pure Tahitian Vanilla Beans which is probably why everyone who ever tries our vanilla products get addicted!  Since 100% Pure uses real Tahitian Vanillainstead of artificial fragrance, it makes everyone think of sweet memories like their mother baking cookies or vanilla cupcakes.  Our Tahitian Vanilla comes from Oceania, a cluster of islands in the Pacific Ocean where the hot, humid environment allows the beans to grow to be extra supple and flavorful.  Vanilla contains antioxidant properties that prevent the damage caused by free radicals, and can even help reduce the risk of some forms of cancer. Vanilla has relaxing aromatherapeutic benefits – calms, soothes, and enhances everyone’s mood.

To keep your skin looking healthy and young, it’s important to protect it from the sun’s harmful rays. 100% Pure SPF skincare products contain broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (non-nano particles) to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays.

Use the  Pomegranate Antioxidant SPF 20 as a daily moisturizer (SPF 20 blocks about 95% of rays), and the Argan Oil Hydration Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 for days with more sun exposure (SPF 30 blocks about 97% of rays). Both of these SPF facial moisturizers are also loaded with antioxidants to protect your skin from other environmental stressors (like smog, pollution, and cigarette smoke) that can be so damaging to your skin.

The brand new Everywhere Sun Stick SPF 30  is safe and gentle enough for all skin types, including baby’s delicate skin. The fragrance-free and water-resistant formula retains effectiveness for up to 80 minutes of activity in water and provides broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection from thesun’s harmful rays with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Always be sure to reapply sunscreen every few hours, particularly after swimming, sweating, or rubbing. Don’t forget UV protective sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and driving gloves for extraprotection from the sun!

100% Pure products are truly environmentally friendly: our formulas, packaging, labels, and packing materials are all safe for you and environmentally friendly. In honor of Earth Day, we wanted to highlight the ways that 100% Pure is green.

Biodegradable formulas
It starts with our 100% natural, biodegradable formulas that don’t contain any harmful chemicals or toxins that can pollute our bodies or our earth. This means our formulas are so pure, you can pour our formulas into the ground and they easily decompose into safe natural matter.

100% Pure products are made with sun power! Our headquarters and manufacturing buildings boast solar-powered roofs that produce about 235,000 kilowatt-hours per year, preventing about 170 metric tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted through the utility company. That’s the equivalent of removing 33 cars from the roads, or planting 4,400 trees.

We also offer a free electric car charging station for our employees that have electric cars. The 100% Pure team has planted thousands of plants, trees, and flowers to help beautify our local city of San Jose, California, and have installed a well to catch rain to use in our gardens and in our bathrooms.

Recycled packaging
100% Pure packaging is made from recycled materials – post-consumer recycled glass, plastic, tin and paper.  Materials otherwise that would have compiled into ever-growing landfills. Instead of creating more trash, we always package all our pure formulas in packaging that was once a water bottle, old coffee paper cup, old beer bottle, etc..

When you order from our website, the boxes that carry your products are from 100% recycled paper.  The popcorn that cushions to protect your item is from 100% biodegradable (melts into corn starch when you add water to it).  And when you finally open up your package – everything you’re holding is from recycled materials: the outer box for our skincare is from recycled paper printed with soy / vegetable ink, the glass packaging is from recycled glass, and the formula inside is 100% biodegradable!

At 100% Pure, we truly love and respect animals. None of our formulas are ever tested on animals, all of our products are vegan (or vegetarian when we use cruelty-free honey) and we financially donate to many animal charities. As animal welfare advocates, we choose not to sell our products in China, where animal testing is required.

Some people may not realize that many makeup brushes are made from animal fur (such as sable, squirrel, mink, rabbit, dog) and that the animals are actually harmed in the process which is why we use only synthetic, antibacterial fibers. 100% Pure brushes are made of the highest quality of synthetic fibers, making the brushes soft, clean, durable, and longer lasting than animal fur brushes. This video (WARNING: graphic material) shows the suffering that animals endure while their fur is harvested.

    
Pepper and Penny were found on the streets, abandoned, dirty and scared. Someone alerted the 100% Pure team about these two dogs and brought them to us to care for them. Lydia brought the two dogs home and now Pepper and Penny are very safe and happy!

To keep your skin looking healthy and young, it’s important to protect it from the sun’s harmful rays. The most effective sunblocks are broad spectrum – they protect you from both UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays cause Aging – they deteriorate collagen and cause wrinkling, age spots, and loss of skin elasticity – whereas UVB rays Burn the skin.

100% Pure’s SPF skincare products contain broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (non-nano particles) to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging rays. Use the  Pomegranate Antioxidant SPF 20 as a daily moisturizer (SPF 20 blocks about 95% of rays), and the Argan Oil Hydration Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 for days with more sun exposure (SPF 30 blocks about 97% of rays).

What is a Super Fruit?

A fruit that contains extraordinarily high levels of antioxidants is classified as a Super Fruit – these fruits have high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) levels.  Super Fruits are typically rich in more than one kind of antioxidants, which protect our bodies against free radicals, preventing disease and reversing signs of aging.  Free radicals not only harm our bodies and can cause disease, but it is also what causes our skin to age.  Wrinkles, age spots, and loss of elasticity are all due to harmful free radicals that we are exposed to in the environment.  Antioxidants work to fight off these free radicals, allowing our skin to regenerate and look young and healthy.

Super Fruits in 100% Pure products

Acai berry, pomegranate, muscadine grape, elderberry, acerola, and mangosteen are all used in 100% Pure products. The Super Fruits skincare collection which formulated with the world’s top Super Fruits to create products that will aggressively reverse signs of aging – including diminishing wrinkles, making skin more elastic and firm while improving skin texture and smoothness. Acai Berries are not only abundant in antioxidants but also in omega fatty acids which protect skin cells from damage and maintain its elasticity. The result is young, healthy, beautiful glowing skin.
