FACE

Erewhon bestsellers 2015

1. Gemstone Organic Hydrosol ($21.99): This is as California as it gets. Based in Venice, Gemstone Organic's signature "Gem Juice" is a unique blend of hydrosols from native trees, enhanced with essential oil. Set to become your new favorite toner, this healing potion is anti-inflammatory, energizing, and stress-relieving.

Bonus: each two-ounce bottle comes with actual amethyst crystals inside of it, which are apparently very balancing for the mind, body, and spirit.

2. Prada Lab Energized Volcanic Ash Hydrating Facial Cleanser ($29.99): Not to be confused with the iconic Italian fashion house, Prada Lab is a 100% raw and natural skincare line that is creating big buzz in the organic beauty community for this cleanser's patent-pending magnetic mixer. Suitable for all skin types, ingredients include volcanic ash (an anti-aging clay favored by Cleopatra), honey (moisturizes), organic dates (decreases wrinkles), Myrrh (decreases inflammation), and fennel (antiseptic).

Fun fact: the chemist behind the line, Tony Prada, is an Erewhon regular and hangs at the Beverly location at least twice a week.

4. iSun Phyto-Infusion I ($105.49): Also great for LA skin is this serum, which is meant to combat sun damage. Given the hefty price tag, it's an investment for those looking for a serious age-revitalizing serum that gets the job done. Effective ingredients include stem cells cultured from citrus and two plants: Enteromorpha compressa and Caesalpina spinosa gum.
