Just an FYI: phthalates are used in everything from plastics (to make them more flexible and enhance their lifetime), flooring, adhesives and paint pigment. They're an environmental estrogen that accumulate in our fat cells over time.... Do you really want to be putting this stuff on your body?! NO!
I recently picked up the Organic Body Lotion and it is absolutely divine. Skin is silky, hydrated, and happy!
Moreover, Flare magazine (http://www.flare.com/) recently profiled Consonant's Ultra Firming Organic Eye Cream, touting its skin-firming benefits due to the addition of zinc. Zinc is a necessary participant in collagen production, is involved in cell proliferation (remember the Retinol post?), and is essential for the production of natural antioxidants and helps activate particular metalloproteinaises (protein based enzymes that contain a metal co-factor) in the removal of mutated cells. Overall - Zinc is wonderful!*
In Toronto, Consonant products are available at The Bay, and other leading independent retailers/salons. Check out their website for more info!
