A wonderful new moisturizer I’ve recently discovered comes with a life-affirming story. The founder of Odacité, Valerie Grandury, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004. This triggered a desire to begin living her life with a stronger connection to nature, and to detoxify her environment.
She quit her high-pressure entertainment industry job, switched to a raw food diet and dedicated her life to studying the healing powers of plants. The result, which benefits not just Valerie, but all of us, is a wonderful skin-care line that is built on the philosophy that raw ingredients work best when fresh.
Odacité’s Beautiful Day Moisturizer uses plant-based dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) to visibly firm the skin, methylsulfonylmethane—also derived from botanicals—to stimulate collagen production, and organic virgin coconut oil to boost hydration. Plus, Odacité is totally transparent about its ingredients. Each and every product has a complete ingredient list—click on any ingredient and you’ll get a full explanation of what it is, how it’s sourced and what it does. Genius.
