Nobody blinks an eye when a skincare brand advertises itself as \u201cclean,\u201d \u201call-natural\u201d or \u201cplant based.\u201d While we all take those concepts for granted right now in this wellness focused time, it wasn\u2019t always the case. One of the pioneers of natural based cosmetics is Origins, which was launched by William Lauder in 1990. Origins continues to trail blaze with green ideas, such as reducing its environmental impact and committing to plant trees. Here\u2019s a look at the Origins brand, what products it sells, and is it right for you?<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is Origins?<\/h2>\n

William Lauder (grandson of cosmetics icon <\/span>Est\u00e9e <\/span>Lauder)<\/span> <\/span>launched Origins In 1990. As the company explained, \u201c<\/span>There was growing awareness of the need to take responsibility for one’s own personal health – and health of our planet.”<\/span> The brand did this by incorporating natural ingredients in its skincare and cosmetics, and as well as reducing packaging waste. Origins also helps plant trees around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first Origins products was the <\/span>Clear Improvement Active charcoal mask to help unclog<\/span> pores. The company says its still one of the best-selling masks in America. Some of the brand\u2019s other key milestones include the debut of Night-A-Mins, a mineral-enriched moisturizer, the GinZing line and a Ginger Body Scrub made from Dead Sea Salts and essential oils. Origins was also a pioneer in integrating a wellness component into the products, and has a partnership with Dr. Andrew Weil, who advocates for integrative medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n

As Origins explains, the company is committed to \u201chigh performance beauty\u201d that is \u201cmindfully formulated\u201d- <\/span>\u201cbecause it\u2019s our nature to do good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
