Review: Raw Terre – Rich, Real, Raw Skin Care

UPDATE: Seems that RawTerre has gone out of business. Their website has been down and there have been no updates on Twitter or any other social media channels.

A natural brand with pizazz? Yes please!

Raw Terre, a gluten free, vegan, and cruelty free brand is quite the hidden gem. This brand brings a contemporary spin to natural skincare providing products that scream vintage. From the floral print to the beautiful vixens, Raw Terre is perfect for those longing to go natural in style. Each product includes a cute description along with a list of ingredients you can actually pronounce!

Forget products created in gigantic factories, each and every batch is hand-crafted for a complete organic experience. The brand also gives back by giving 10% of all proceeds to Feeding America.

The Brand:

The Raw Terre brand was created by Helen The Alchemist and Dian the Face Freak (@DianRawTerreCEO), two women who share the same love for natural ingredients. Read their brand story here:

“Once upon a time there was a gifted Alchemist who transformed precious herbs and other delicate, natural, whole ingredients into magical skin, hair & wellness care products.

The Alchemist devoted over fifteen years to developing heavenly pure, deliciously raw, totally luxurious and yet simple skin care products that really, truly work.

Once upon a time there was a Face Freak. She devoted over fifteen years to searching the world for good, better and best skin care products; something worthy enough to entrust her skin to.

The Face Freak despaired of finding that perfect skin care product – until she met The Alchemist.

One wonderful day, the Alchemist and the Face Freak bumped into each other in the skin care aisle.

They decided to work together to develop the world’s best skin, hair & wellness care products and they proceeded to make honest, wholesome, pure, lavish skin, hair & wellness care products – the best ever.”

Ingredients:

The “Raw” in Raw Terre stems from their use of raw and all natural ingredients.

Raw ingredients are unique because:

1. They aren’t heated – When most products are manufactured they are heated to speed up the process and create as much revenue as possible. This is also the reason many lotions, scrubs, and creams have such a smooth consistency. Unfortunately for you heating ingredients means activating them releasing the benefits into the air!
2. They do not contain toxins – It is great when you know your skincare is safe. Raw ingredients are free from toxic chemicals found in normal cosmetic products. Formulas are still long lasting as they use natural ingredients in place of common toxins like preservatives.
3. They aren’t watered down
4. They are gentle

Although natural ingredients are beneficial, Raw Terre goes as far as offering ingredients that are organic and wild harvested.
