Marie Veronique Organics Launches First Skincare Product for the Body:

Anti-Aging Body Oil, Rose + Neroli

December 2010, Berkeley, CA- Sustainable skincare company Marie Veronique Organics has launched their first skincare product for all over body use, the Anti-Aging Body Oil, Rose + Neroli. This luxurious new body oil combats aging while calming and balancing with a lush, exotic scent of rose and neroli. The Anti-Aging Body Oil launches in time for holiday gift giving and retails at $36 for a 2 ounce bottle and $63 for a 4 ounce bottle. It is available exclusively at www.mvorganics.com.

The Anti-Aging Body Oil was a natural step for founder/creator Marie Veronique Nadeau. “Our customers love our anti-aging face oil and have been asking about an oil they could use on their entire body. After all, it’s not just our faces that age”, explains Marie. The Anti-Aging Body Oil combats the signs of aging with essential fatty acids from avocado and jojoba oils and anti-oxidants from watermelon seed oil, vegetable squalene, and apricot kernel oil. The calming rose/neroli aroma was created using precious rose absolute and neroli essential oils. (Over two dozen roses are used to make one drop of rose absolute and each 4 ounce bottle contains 20 drops of the oil. And over a pound of carefully harvested neroli flowers are required to create 10 drops of neroli essential oil, 12 drops of which are included in every 4 ounce bottle.)

Like all Marie Veronique Organics products, the Anti-Aging Body Oil does not contain any harmful chemicals or synthetic fragrances. There are no waxes which can clog pores, no water which can evaporate and dry out your skin, and no nut oils, which can go rancid with UV exposure. The body oil is 100% vegan, and the ingredients are: Simmondsia chinensis (jojoba oil), Persea americana (avocado oil), Prunus armeniaca (apricot kernel oil), Citrullus Vulgaris/Lanatus (watermelon seed oil), vegetable squalene (from olive oil), Rosemary oleoresin, Rosa damascena (Rose)essential oil, Citrus aurantium (Neroli) essential oil, Helichrysum italicum (Helichrysum), Pelagonium graveolens (Rose Geranium) essential oil, Curcuma longa Rhizome (Curcuma) essential oil.
