The age-old adage that we are what we eat has come
to embody many things in this modern world. As we strive for the natural, we try to distance
ourselves from the synthetic. It's a strange juxtaposition. Increasingly reliant on technology, we seek
evermore to get closer to nature. The products we use. The steps taken in their creation. Old becomes new,
lost techniques are rediscovered, and old ways of thinking and doing become new once more. Life is about the
sustainability of both our bodies and the products we engage with in this age of hyper-awareness. We seek out
healing balms, makeup, and mascaras that are rediscovering what natural really means. This is the latest quest.
