Danny Seo speaks with Yu Shing Fu, Director of Education for Sundari, an Ayurvedic skin care line co-founded by Christy Turlington. Their natural products use mostly organic ingredients and provide a full range of skin care products for face and body. Danny discusses the philosophy behind their company and which products to choose.

Aromatherapist and social activist David Crow founded Floracopeia: Aromatic Treasures for Health, Beauty and Abundance three years ago. Its mission is twofold: to bring organic, fair-trade, community-supported principles to the production, distribution, and sale of essential oils and to educate people about their benefits.

LIME chatted with the essential oil evangelist shortly before a "Fragrance and Consciousness" workshop, one of many he conducts.

I have never taken a bath in my current apartment. Though I've lived here for over a year and though the bathroom was completely renovated (tub included) I have not yet made the time to fill the tub and take a break.

Aura Soma’s line of mystical beauty products is either filled with gorgeous medicines or the prettiest snake oil around.

Soma is what the Vedics called a sacred plant drink that was also considered a god––they believed that drinking it would imbue them with light and immortality. Though this modern version is unpotable, it does promise to balance you on a subtle, energetic level with color, scent, and essence. When selecting a bottle of their bi-colored “Equilibrium” elixirs, you let your intuition do the work. For example, I chose a mixture of hot pink and turquoise. Turns out it’s called “Breath of Love” and is supposed to mend your heart and receive and give love more easily. I’m not sure the blend of water, herbs, and “gem essence” does much more than smell delicious and vibrantly glow on my nightstand, but in the gray urban jungle, that’s plenty.
