If you read my blog, you might have seen that I post frequently about the Organic Pharmacy because I truly like their products. Based out of London, the Organic Pharmacy is the most respected and trusted organic personal care company in the UK. They have an almost endless supply of organic products to keep you healthy, keep you looking good and beautiful.
The latest product they are offering is green coffee, not in a cup but in a new proprietary massage treatment focused on firming, draining and breaking down fat cells to reduce the appearance of cellulite -- The Green Coffee Body Sculpting Treatment.
Here’s how it works:
Lower half of body is dry brushed to stimulate circulation and allow the oils, with their active ingredients to be absorbed.
The body is then massaged with Green Coffee and Chili Oil. In addition to green coffee, key ingredients include:
Chili, to increase the flow of blood by “heating” the skin. The extra heat enhances the effects of the stimulating green coffee for better circulation and eliminate of fats, excess fluids and toxins.
Juniper, for its decongestant, diuretic and detoxifying properties.
Grapefruit, an excellent lymph stimulant that helps eliminate waste by removing excess water from the body and the skin.
Next, the body is massaged with Body Sculpting Gel. Key ingredients include:
Mountain Ash, to improve the tone of veins and help flush out excess water around the cells.
Linseed Polyholosides, to redefine, lift, firm and plump skin from within by stimulating collagen.
Fig, with lipolytic action to reduce the size of fatty cells.
Horse Chestnut, to improve circulation and Menthol from mint leaves to constrict the blood vessels and drain. These botanicals continue to work even after they have been applied.
At the end of the treatment, the client, now relaxed and feeling lighter, is offered a drink of water with an all-natural anti-cellulite tincture (garcinia, gurana, horsechestnut, gotu kola, dandelion and bladderwrack).
Products contain no artificial preservatives, fragrances, colorants, petrochemicals or animal ingredients and are never tested on animals.
Watch a real treatment:
The treatment, recommended at least 5-6 times for the best results, is priced at $100 (per treatment) and is available at The Organic Pharmacy, 453 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, CA and soon to be available in New York.
I wished they had one closer to me or I lived in California.

The more I learn about the chemicals and preservatives in all products we consume, the more I worry. These ingredients are in our food, our drinks, oven in our beauty products and I'm sure the list goes on.
With my continuous battle of the bulge, I started reading more and more about these products that are added into everything and became concerned. I never really thought about them being added to our beauty products and baby products until recently.
The Organic Pharmacy has interesting and informative content on this very issue. It states that on average, we use between 5 to 15 products a day that are full of toxins. If you think about it, at least from a woman's perspective, it's very true. Shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, facial lotion/moisturizer, acne medication, deodorant, foundation, blush, powder and so forth. By the time we get ready to eat more toxic products, we are already toxic.
I just recently switched and began using an organic detangler for my two younger daughters and perhaps it's a mind trick, but I definitely feel like a better mom by going the extra mile to ensure I'm taking care of them.
Thanks to The Organic Pharmacy, I will explore many options to start detoxing mine and my children's lives from all these horrible chemicals, preservatives and flavorings and colors.
I received a full size jar of Carrot Butter Cleanser by The Organic Pharmacy for all skin types. The 75 ml jar arrived in a small box with no extra packaging which is great when you are looking for truly organic products that take the environment into consideration. The name "Carrot Butter" and "The Organic Pharmacy" were both in silver lettering which accentuated the large silver lid and the see-through jar provided a level of sophisication and elegance to the appearance.
I used the small spatula provided to remove a small amount (penny size) of the cleanser to massage on my dry face for about a minute. My face had a warm sensation as I massed the Carrot Butter Cleanser all over. It has a mixed fragrance with a menthol undertone. After I soaked the muslim provided wash cloth in "hand-hot" water, I pressed it over my face and then wiped off the Carrot Butter. I rinsed twice as the package directions stated.
My face had a cool sensation afterwards. The Carrot Butter Cleanser itself is a silky smooth, non-abrasive cleanser and felt good as I massaged it all over my face. My face felt invigorated and clean afterwards. I waited several hours and avoided applying anything additional on my face to see how it would feel and it's smooth, non-greasy and soft. I really like how it feels.
Carrots are a known antioxidant and great for the skin. Shea butter, which you definitely feel, moisturizes the skin and the other ingredients offer an array of benefits to cleanse and soothe.
This is definitely an experience that produces spa quality feel without all the harmful chemicals, preservatives, colors and fragrances. It will leave your face feeling soft, nurtured and glowing. I highly recommend it.
Your skin is your canvas; a healthy glowing skin begins with a thorough but gentle cleanse. Carrot Butter Cleanser dissolves grime, dirt, pollution, make up (including eye makeup) in one easy step. Antioxidant Carrot is blended with skin softening Shea & Cocoa Butter to leave the skin incredibly soft and smooth. Chamomile, Rosemary and Lavender soothe and decongest the skin leaving it radiant.
Application:
Remove a small amount of cleanser with the spatula provided, rub the cleanser between clean hands and apply to dry skin, massaging it in well. Soak muslin or flannel in hand hot water and remove cleanser. Finish with a splash of cold water. (Do not use cotton wool as this will not remove cleanser)
The most essential cleanse should be carried out at night. If this is done properly, in the morning simply splash the face with water.
The Carrot Butter Cleanser sells for $59.90 but should last for months.
