A Great Product Review of Primal Life Organics

A Great Product Review from Lauren at www.SimplyPaleo.com

Product Review- Primal Life Organics: Paleo Skin Care!

The best news was that I got my care package from Primal Life Organics! Here is a brief review of each of the products, I’ve been using them for about a week and have had amazing results.  Bottom line- I have found my skin care line, for good.

Pit Stick

I’ve looked long and hard, high and low for a natural deoderant.  I’m not gonna lie, I was the stinky kid for a while.  Nothing every worked! Tom’s being the worst offender because I broke out in a rash from that (fun).   I’ve been wearing the pit stick for 3 days now and have smelled like a mellow coconut ever since, even after the workout last night! No bullshit people, this product is incredible!

Carrot Seed Primal Face Wash

I have combo skin and suffer from hormone breakouts every month (right now).  Not only has that cleared up but my skin tone looks even and I haven’t had to re-apply my oil absorbing powder mid day- it’s totally regulated my shine! Plus it smells great too.  I also love the way that it lathers, a little goes a long way.  When you rinse it leaves your skin feeling moisturized but clean (I hate after you wash your face and it feels like you washed with lotion, I also hate the super squeaky clean).  It comes in a large glass bottle with a medicine dropper, which I love!

Carrot Seed Primal Face Toner

This stuff just feels good, it’s in a small spritz bottle and goes on after you wash.  It smells great and has all the qualities of a nice, refreshing toner without the alcohol.

Carrot Seed Primal Face Serum

I’ve never really used a serum before but I’m pretty sure this one has a big hand in the overall even-ness of my skin tone.  You can tell it’s more concentrated and comes in a glass bottle with a dropper.  I use this after the wash and primer and it smells SO good!

Carrot Seed Primal Face Moisurizer

I love this moisturizer.  It’s a brilliant primer and 1st step before make up (which I’m not wearing much of now!) and leaves my skin feeling moisturized with ZERO grease.  I remember a lady at CosBar once told me that typically your skin will be oily not because you’re using the wrong moisturizer but because it’s compensating for under quenched skin.  I think this the key reason why I’ve been seeing less shine, my skin is actually getting the moisture that it needs!

Banished Primal Blemish Serum (Available soon)

This is the power potion! It’s extremely concentrated and really zaps problem areas.  I woke up to see that a certain friend (mountain) had vanished!  Note- don’t rub your eyes after you use this lol.

Thanks Lauren!

Paleo Skin Food: Which Primal Face Package is For You? Testimonial of Trina Felber, Owner and Creator of Primal Life Organics, LLC

That’s how I think of my products: Paleo Skin Food. Products so natural, fresh and made with ingredients you can eat. Food for your skin. Paleo Skin Food.

Every product I make was originally made for myself. I was in my late 30’s and frustrated with acne prone, very oily skin and I wanted a non-toxic, natural, paleo skin care solution. I was not happy with the toxic, chemical laden, commercial products available, so I decided to “try” to make something myself. After all, if you want the job done right- do it yourself! So, I researched different ingredients, came up with a list and made my first facial product: the Carrot Seed Primal Face Moisturizer. This was five years ago and it was just known as “carrot seed”. I was extremely surprised at my newfound talent as well as the results. My skin cleared up within two-three weeks! GONE! My acne was gone AND my skin really seemed to like the oil! My biggest hesitation was putting OIL on my OILY skin! I was extremely skeptical that the oil would help my oily skin situation! Shouldn’t I be “drying” my skin out I wondered. No. When I looked at the ingredients in the expensive products I was using for oily/acne prone, aging skin, the under lying theme was drying ingredients, like alcohol, preservatives, fragrance and other chemicals that are added for purposes I have no idea. I had learned recently that in most things in life, only three percent of the population is getting it right. I realized that IF I want healthy skin, I have to take a chance and do the OPPOSITE of what 97 percent of the population is doing. If they are putting alcohol and preservatives and fragrance and toxins on their skin- then I want NOTHING TO DO WITH THOSE THINGS.

OK. That leaves me with oils- for oily skin. Low and behold, my oily skin drank up the oils like a caveman in the dessert! Within three minutes of applying my oil based moisturizier, my skin was soft, not greecey. It was at this moment that I realized something. ALL OF THE EXPENSIVE COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS I HAD BEEN USING WERE STARVING MY SKIN!!!! My oily skin was only oily because I had disrupted my natural oil production with all of the drying ingredients. I was overproducing sebum to save my skin. My skin was self-preserving and the more it self-protected the more drying ingredients I applied! My Carrot Seed Primal Face Package was born. I developed my face wash; toner and serum with ingredients designed specifically for the needs of oily, acne prone aging skin. I was looking to diminish fine lines, prevent wrinkles and all signs of aging. Afterall, I was not getting any younger.

It took about four weeks for my skin to really detox from the chemical laden products I had used. It was around the sixth month that my skin normalized. Around month eight, I realized I did not really have oily skin. In fact, my skin now tended to be dry. REALLY!!?? Dry? Not in a million years would I have thought I had underlying DRY SKIN!!! OK, new mission. Create a system designed specifically for dry skin. Reasearch. Test. WOW! My skin LOVED pomegranate and the Pomegranate Primal Face Package was born! The two key ingredients in this system are pomegrate oil and hemp seed oil. Both are superior for aging, dry skin.

Organic Pomegranate fruit is naturally high in flavonoids, punicic and ellagic acids and is used to heal, protect, and moisturize dry, cracked, mature, and irritated skin. It also restores skin elasticity and is beneficial for eczema, psoriasis, and other skin ailments. Pomegranate deeply nourishes the outer epidermal layer and provides powerful anti-oxidants; these work to neutralize free radicals that otherwise cause skin damage and visible signs of aging.

Organic hemp seed provides anti-inflammatory and anti-aging protection. It balances dry skin, helps heal skin lesions, contains anti-oxidants, and offers moisture-balancing properties. The oil is non-greasy and readily absorbs into the pores. It is an emollient, and has rejuvenating and moisturizing properties for the skin.

My skin reacted so well to the pomegranate, I was completely in love and amazed. People were noticing and remarking on how fresh my skin looked. I LOVED the pomegranate so much that I decided to spare no expense. I was getting older and I really wanted to create a masterpiece for aging skin. I wanted something that would make a huge difference for aging skin using natural, paleo ingredients. I researched again. I did my homework. I spent hours collecting data. Superior is what I am after- no less than superior. I made a list of oils and essential oils that have a profound effect on the aging process and I went to work. Ocean Primal Face Wash was an INSTANT success. IMMEDIATE results! The Package was born. Infiniti was the name. DONE. Sometimes the name is the hardest part of the process-not this time. Infiniti says it all. Infiniti Primal Face Toner, Infiniti Primal Face Moisturizer and Infiniti Primal Face Serum were created. SUPERIOR! Instantly, I could feel and see a huge difference. I had a glow and for the first time EVER- I DID NOT NEED MAKEUP TO BRIGHTEN MY COMPLEXION!! I knew I had made a product that safely protects aging skin and helps prevent signs of aging.

Infiniti Primal Face Package contains numerous, premium oils and essential oils, here is a sample of the ingredients:

*Certified Organic

Blue yarrow*

Borage seed oil*

Calendula oil*

Carrot seed oil*

Clary sage*

Comfrey oil*

Emu oil

Evening primrose oil*

Frankincense*

Grapefruit oil*

Hemp seed oil*

Lavender*

Myrrh*

Neroli*

Pumpkin oil*

Rose*

Rosehip oil*

Sea buckthorn oil*

Tamanu oil*

I have been selling my skincare products for three years and have enjoyed seeing and hearing the remarkable changes and improvements they make. Skincare does not have to be toxic nor artificial to get results. It is amazing how quickly our skin reacts to oils and it quickly becomes apparent how thirsty our skin really is and how dehydrating commercial products really are. I have made all of my products for myself and I still use every one. My favorite under the eye serum is the Pomegranate Primal Face Serum because it is a thick oil that hydrates extremely well. I use Infiniti Primal Face Package daily with Ocean Primal Face Wash in the shower and Earth Primal Face Wash in my vanity. I mix in the Carrot Seed and Pomegranate Primal Face Packages two or three times a week.

That being said, ALL of my products are anti-aging and you will see results with any package. The Infiniti Primal Face Package is made with ingredients that are suprior for those that want extra protection from nature and life’s effects!

Which Primal Face Package will work for you?

Normal to oily/acne prone skin: Carrot Seed Primal Face Package

Normal to dry skin: Pomegranate Primal Face Package

Aging skin: Infiniti Primal Face Package

I write this on my 44th birthday because beautiful, ageless paleo skin food is my passion and making paleo skincare safe enough to eat is my mission! Afterall, why eat paleo but drench the largest organ of your body in chemicals and toxins. When I say I am 95% PALEO- it’s the truth. I believe YOUR percent MUST include your skincare (or skin food). If you have any questions, please email me at trina@PrimalLifeOrganics.com. I love testimonials and have published quite a few. I felt it was time to share my story of how each product was created. My own personal testimonial is finally published. Enjoy! My skin has never looked better and I bet yours will too!

After I finished writing this, I checked my inbox. I just could not help but smile. It was like Lauri was my typing shadow. Here is what I found from Lauri:

Hi Trina,

First of all, let me tell you how much I absolutely love the Carrot Seed Primal Face Package. The fine lines around my eyes are barely visible now and for the first time in almost two years, since the middle of my second pregnancy, I haven’t needed to cake on makeup to cover up my breakouts because guess what… I don’t have a single pimple on my face. It’s amazing! I tried everything to no avail for two years and after just a couple of weeks your products have absolutely changed my appearance for the better. I am so thankful to have found your products.

And don’t even get me started about the primal toothpaste! My teeth are as white as I have ever seen them. People ask me what I have done to whiten them and all that I am doing is using your product!

I wanted to see if you recommend washing my face only in the evening or twice a day. Also, I only see the tooth powder available. I am going to place an order before the discount ends on Thursday so I am ordering the tooth powder for travel but I also wanted to get another tin of toothpaste as I use it for my four year old and me. He loves it! I don’t see it on your site so I assume it’s not presently available but is it going to come back?

Thank you so much for your amazing products. I will continue to spread the word to everyone I know!

Cheers,

Lauri

My response to Lauri’s question:

Hi Lauri!

Thank you SO MUCH for such an awesome letter!!! I just love to hear how my products work for everyone!!! I do recommend washing twice a day, but everyone is different. Applying the face package twice a day doubles the amount of vitamins, antioxidant, essential fatty acids, nutrients etc your skin is exposed to and ultimately helps the fight against aging!

I discontinued the toothpaste during the summer months because of the heat and the fact that the coconut oil melts in temperatures above 77 degrees. The other issue is that in homes without air conditioning, it remains liquid and must be refrigerated then brought to room temperature before use and is a challenge to use. I have no problem making it and sending it to you, especially since you have used it. Just order 2 of the Toothpowders and email me that you want one paste and one powder. Not a problem at all. I LOVE that your son is using it. My daughter loves it too!! Definitely take the powder for travel though. Much safer!

Trina

FYI

I will be offering the toothpaste once the weather permits. If you really want the paste, just order the powder and email me.

Another GREAT review from another Primal Lifer!

Arsy, from Paleo Blog Rubies and Radishes, recently did a review of a selection of my products:  

I have mentioned here before that my transition to a paleo lifestyle first started with food, but eventually led to making major changes in my skincare/beauty regimen, as well as our household cleaning products. If I am not eating toxins, why would I put them all over my body and spray them all over my house? These changes were the logical next step for me. For the most part this has included using very basic ingredients - coconut oil as moisturizer, olive oil as eye makeup remover, apple cider vinegar as toner, etc. Every once in a while I might mix up something a little fancier, but honestly not often.  My routine had become very basic. I am a girl dammit and I enjoy pampering myself! So, I was very excited when I first heard about Primal Life Organics and I was even more excited when I had an opportunity to try out their products. For the last 2 weeks, I have exclusively been using Primal Life Organics products and here is what I thought about it.

I was first drawn to the company because I love the idea of a skincare company that I could trust to take their ingredients as seriously as most of us take our diet in the paleo world. Trina Felber, the founder of Primal Life Organics, uses all paleo ingredients in her products. Everything is 100% natural and not like how Burt’s Bees & Avalon Organics, etc. are “natural”. I mean, she uses real ingredients that you can pronounce and are familiar with. All her products are made fresh with raw ingredients. They do not use any chemicals, emulsifiers, alcohol or water.

Primal Pit Stick, Deodrant :: I had to start here because … OMG! I have finally found a deodrant that works for me. I have pretty much tried every deodrant that EWG has labeled as safe that I could find and none of them have worked for me, no joke! This is really someplace that I have struggled in my transition to natural products. I have been putting this on once a day in the morning and it has been very effective all day, even the days that I took long walks. The ingredients are very simple (organic coconut oil, baking soda, organic pure filtered beeswax) and the scent is very light.

Earth Primal Face Wash :: This was another product that I instantly fell in love with. I love the scent, it is very earthy and natural. It feels really nice on your skin - it’s smooth and silky when you are using it & it leaves your skin feeling very clean and refreshed.

Infiniti Pregnancy Formula Primal Face Moisturizer :: My skin has become fairly dry lately, as a result of being preggers. I felt a difference within days of using this moisturizer. My skin tone became much more even and soft. I also love the scent. I am not sure how to describe it, it is very unique and refreshing. It deeply moisturizes my skin, yet absorbs quickly, allowing my makeup to go on very smoothly.

Infiniti Pregnancy Formula Primal Face Toner :: I’ve been spraying this on after I wash my face and before I put on my Infiniti Primal Moisturizer. It’s another great product. It makes my skin feel very hydrated and nourished. I think it is also helping even out my skin tone. This product probably has my favorite scent, as you can imagine I have been very sensitive to smells for the past 9 months. This really smells wonderful. It has a light smell of rose water, without being overwhelming.

Primal Hand Repair :: love! love! love! This has seriously been a life-saver and an amazing replacement for my usual coconut oil. I have been doing ALOT of dishes lately, since I’ve been neck deep in recipe testing. My hands are constantly dry and although my usual coconut oil moisturizes them, it takes forever to absorb, so leaving my hands super greasy. The hand repair cream is the exact opposite - very moisturizing, but not at all greasy. The scent is very mild, which I really like.

Infiniti Primal Face Serum :: I found this product very hydrating. It didn’t make my skin as moisturized as the “Infiniti Pregnacy Formula Primal Face Moisturizer”, but this is likely because my skin is so dry right now. I used this product on days where I didn’t feel that I needed as deep of a moisturizer. I think this will be a great product for after my pregnancy, when my skin feels a little more normal.

Pomegranate Primal Face Serum :: I used this as an under eye-cream nightly and I also rubbed it on my belly before bed. This product is made purely of pomegranate seed oil - I thought that was impressive! As you can imagine, I have been sleeping terribly lately, so I wake up looking very tired. This product has helped me look a bit fresher in the mornings.

Overall, I would highly recommend this line of products to all of my girlfriends. Every product went on really nicely and left my skin feeling soft, rejuvenated and nourished. I have a very strong sense of smell at the moment, I was pleasantly surprised to find that none of the scents bothered me and I actually found them all to be very enjoyable and soothing, probably because there are no added fragrances and the scents come purely from the essential oils. Another thing to note about Primal Life Organics, is that a little goes a long way! You really only need a few drops of each product. I love that I can purchase products that are not filled with chemicals, that will actually help my skin become healthier! I am sold, and will definitely be using these products as part of my daily skincare regimen!

Thanks Arsy for a wonderful review!!

Father’s Day Tribute: What’s It Like To Live With Your CrossFit Coach?

AWESOME!  My husband, Josh, is part owner of Crossfit Akron. He puts his heart and soul I to everything he does. He loves coaching CrossFit… Seriously, never seen him happier!  He loves what he is doing and takes pride in all of the lives he has helped change. Not only are we on the same page as a couple in raising our kids (more on that subject in the near future), but we are also on the same page in regards to health and fitness. We have both always been independently “health conscious” in regards to diet and exercise… But since we found CrossFit and adopted the paleo lifestyle, our relationship and support for each other has blossomed even more. Sometimes the transition into a new lifestyle can be challenging… But when you don’t have the support of your spouse or partner, the challenge can be ten-fold!  I am so lucky to have found someone that is as pro-active about health as I am. We both embrace a three dimensional approach to health… Diet, exercise and family involvement.

Josh inspired me to start Primal Life Organics. He has a very successful background in business and believed in my paleo skincare products. He encouraged me to inspire others to look more closely at what they are becoming because of what they are putting on their skin. We both believe “what goes in… And on… Becomes you”.  We both believe in living a toxin- free life inside and out!

Josh has been the first tester if all of my products since I decided to go public. Trust me, first batches are not always very good!  His input has helped shape every product I make and he uses my products daily. His favorite product is the Infiniti Primal Face Serum. He uses it daily on his face and shaved head… In fact, he uses it so much, I make a quadruple bottle just for him!  In honor of my husband and awesome “daddio”, I am placing the Infiniti Primal Face Serum and the Infiniti Primal Face Package on sale now through Fathers Day. Get some for your caveboy… And maybe he will let you try it too!  Happy Fathers Day Honey and to all Cave-Daddios!  Enjoy!
