Stella McCartney Care Radiance & Youth Elixir

Why It's Good:

The elixir is packed with free-radical-fighting polyphenols, which will protect you from sun damage, it's super moisturizing, and perhaps best of all, you can say you're wearing Stella.

Why It's Green:

The active ingredients are certified organic, and the product does not contain any petrochemicals (non-renewable resources) or parabens (chemical preservatives that some scientists think may be linked to breast cancer).

Pretty Skin, Pristine Planet

When I heard that Stella McCartney was launching a skincare line, CARE, I expected her to be as conscientious about the kind of ingredients she chose as she is about the materials she uses in her fashion designs—and I expected it to be luxurious. She didn't disappoint. All of the products are certified organic, and she added no petrochemicals or parabens. I've tried quite a few of the products in the line, but my favorite (this week anyway) is the Radiance & Youth Elixir. The moisturizing blend of red, pink, and green tea is just what my dry skin was thirsting for. Be warned: a drop of the serum looks like a rich olive oil. Don't panic. It's not at all thick or greasy, and as you blend it into your face and neck, it absorbs so fast that there's no indication you applied anything there in the first place, except for its light fragrance—and your more radiant, younger-looking complexion.
