Choosing a concealer is not easy task but it helps if you know your undertones, check the back of your wrist or arm under natural light. If the veins appear more blue or purple, you likely have cool undertones (pink or blue) and these are the shades for you ~ Porcelain, 02, 04 or 06. If they appear more greenish, you might have warm undertones (yellow or peach) and would do best with 00, 01, or 03, and 05. Soft and creamy the concealer won't cause dryness and helps to brighten and hydrate the gentle area under the eyes in particular.

High-quality makeup doesn't dehydrate or wreck your skin. Ingredients do make a difference, especially organic Shea butter, Grapeseed, and Rosehip oil. Ingredient names you recognize.

The good ole' days. The product that started it all for us was the Bare Lip balm. One day, I want to make a "mega-bare," so nobody ever runs out!
8 years later, we use the same recipe of double butters, Mango and Cacao.
This is an oldie but goodie pic, when flower props were all you needed 😄.

It started with lip balms, but the zero-waste concealer always steals the show.
Dreamy, creamy, and long wearing.

When you discontinue a product line but then miss it so much, you have to bring it back almost immediately. The Scent balms are back!
For the moment, our two-note scent balms are back in stock, and we hope to soon bring back single-note scent balms soon as well.

Enjoy a fragrance free and moisturizing scent balm that is perfect to carry with you.

River Organics has been living a bit of a nomadic life lately. Thought I would give a brand update as it feels like the appropriate time.
I am slowly making the transition to move back to Europe after the difficult last year and a half. I have been lucky to find an amazing manufacturing and fulfillment partner who has the same values as the brand and are also a small NC based business.
With their help, we plan to bring back all of the original colors as we transition to our new packaging designed by and bring back skincare and scent.
We also plan to launch in the UK and Europe in 2024, so stay tuned!
I will try and post more bts to share this exciting adventure. Lots happening

Brow Tint - What is it? A creamy formula applied to brows with a 'spoolie' brush (mascara wand), which allows for it to stick to the individual hairs. Each brow hair is coated in color while being brushed into place. Made with moisturizing Organic Jojoba, Apricot and Castor oil.

What it doesn't have ? PPD, also known as Para-Phenylenediamine, a chemical compound commonly used in cosmetic and hair dye products, including eyebrow dyes. Typically derived from petroleum.

We like to keep our brow jobs petroleum-free!

What is a cake mascara? "Cake Mascara" aka, Solid mascara, typically comes in a compact or cake form rather than a traditional liquid formula, made from a combination of waxes, pigments, and oils giving it a long shelf life.
How to to use it cake mascara? Simply rub the brush over the solid mascara cake, apply to your lashes in a sweeping motion to separate lashes and coat them evenly. Allow the first coat to dry and then apply additional coats until you achieve the desired thickness and length. Sometimes it can help to moisten the brush a little, but do not add water to the cake mascara paper jar.
Stay tuned for our new and improved stickier formula.

A signature scent minus the highly toxic endocrine disruptors commonly found in fragrance does exist.
Fragrance companies use phthalates, which are chemicals that help the scents last longer. Is it worth exposing yourself daily to them? The answer is a big NO.
Switch it up with naturally scented balms made with organic essential oils and plant based ingredients.
One less thing to worry about and to burden your system with.
Now in: Rose + Patchouli, Sandalwood + Vetiver & Jasmine & Neroli.

Easy application and lightweight to carry with you.

The truth about size! We get a lot of questions and comments about how small some of our products seem. The truth? Most of them offer nearly twice, if not three times, the amount of product compared with traditional brands.
How? It's simple: way less packaging. No thick base, no plastic interior mechanism to push the product up, no tall cap, and the list goes on.
Tip: Check the weight of the product to truly know what you are getting. One more reason to embrace zero-waste practices.
