Green chemistry…
…now that’s just conjures up visions of lovers in a field of wild flowers
long flowing green grass surrounding their every move.
Their eyes meet.
They embrace one another.
He says to her with his barefeet swaying
“My darling, you smell of sweet perfume”
***record screeches***
“Oh no my sweet, she whispers back to him, it’s simply the manure from the barn down the road”
Aaah the beauty of pure natural green love.
Or not. Perhaps green chemistry from “Tilvee Eco Ethical Skincare” means just what all of us eco-peeps know it means! Yep – pure, natural, organic goodness that’s great for us, great for Earth and super great for the men that love our skin! It means toxin free skincare without any harsh ingredients. It means luxurious without parabens. Nourishing without petroleum. It means deliciously sweet scents from Earth without fragrances.
It means Tilvee!
About Tilvee
Kristie McNamara, founder and president, has been passionate about the science and therapeutic uses of plants her whole life. While studying Botany and Organic Chemistry at college in Michigan she also worked at a small health food store. Her fascination with plants and formulating toxin free skin care products grew as she met customers asking for skin care products without parabens or harsh ingredients. After years of research and formulating using “Green Chemistry”, Tilvee Eco Ethical Skincare was launched in 2008.
Kristie stays on the forefront of ingredient research and efficacy and also educates on the importance of healthier products for our bodies and the environment. That is why Tilvee products support the use of ingredients from around the world that are organic, fair trade and sustainably harvested.
My Thoughts
I love the word nourishing because that’s exactly the way Tilvee feels going on. Their products are rich in super-fruits and plant-based butters, oils and extracts, they contain potent antioxidants and the ingredients used support sustainable, organic and fair trade agriculture. Pretty eco-awesome!! I have been using the Argan & Sea Buckthom age-defying creme and I swear I look 20 again! Okay maybe not, but you can just tell me that so we can be best friends for forever.
Oh and wait until you see how much they love yo mama!
Huh?
