Origins Organics Nourishing Face Lotion

Why It's Good:

Just as the atmospheric moisture is about to go into its annual free-fall (a little tradition we like to call autumn and winter), a new anti-desiccation squad has arrived on the scene—nine products to keep your skin and hair sitting pretty (smelling pretty, too) all season long.

Why It's Green:

The line uses all-natural ingredients, a large quantity (73%-98%) of which is certified organic.

The Ultimate Cold-Weather Skin Saver

That Origins is the first big-time beauty brand to launch a full line of USDA National Organic Program-certified body and hair care products is all well and good. But even more noteworthy is that the collection houses the first patchouli-containing product I've ever liked. Nay, loved. Somehow, my longtime olfactory enemy has been incorporated—along with clove, rose, lavender and thyme—into one of the most sublimely scented facial lotions ever. Oh yeah, and the stuff moisturizes like nobody's business. No surprise, given the starting lineup of power ingredients: Organic Shea Butter, Organic Cocoa Butter, Vitamin E, and Organic Glycerin. —Abbie Kozolchyk
