Re-Launch Reader Giveaway! Marie Veronique Organics

This giveaway is now closed.  @JustFabulousGem, who entered the contest via twitter has been chosen via random.org as the winner! But stay tuned, more great giveaways to come! Thanks to everyone who entered, and to MVOrganics for sponsoring this wonderful giveaway.
We're super excited to be offering this reader giveaway prize, the first in a series to come over the next few weeks to celebrate the re-launch of Pure Green Magazine. {If you could see me, Celine, right now, you would see that I'm smiling ear to ear... I'm SO EXCITED and hope you are too!} We were so delighted that Marie Veronique Organics, the sponsor of this wonderful giveaway, agreed to introduce you, our reader, to their product - if you win, you will receive a complete Anti-Aging kit as well as a bonus Kid Safe Screen. At PGM we're really careful and conscious of what we put on our skin - MVO understands that and speaks to it very well: "Intelligent Ingredients is more than just a tagline. It’s the overriding principle that guides every formulation at Marie Veronique Organics. That’s because science tells us that what goes on your skin ultimately penetrates your skin and goes into your body. The right ingredients can do a world of good and the wrong ones quite the opposite. Before an ingredient gets added to a product we make sure it does the right thing, efficiently and without causing harm to you or the planet. It’s probably no surprise that our entire company is dedicated to sustainability. Wherever possible we use natural, organic and fair trade ingredients, packaged in 100% recyclable materials. And we source them as close to our Berkeley headquarters as possible to keep our footprint super small."  Click here to get the full background on all of their ingredients.

Keep Reading for more on how MVO got started.




{As quoted from Marie Veronique Organics}

It all started in a kitchen. Not a garage like most Bay Area startups. Of course the kitchen was the perfect place for former chemistry teacher Marie Veronique Nadeau to experiment. Fueled by a desire to age gracefully, she created a line of ecologically responsible, natural and transformative anti-aging products. At 62, Marie’s smooth skin is living proof that our products work wonders.

Like mother, like daughter. Dr. Jay Nadeau followed in her mother’s scientific footsteps, becoming a Professor of Physics at McGill University. She regularly consults with the company to integrate the best of science and nature into our products.

To market, to market. Marie quickly realized that two science geeks needed some expert marketing help to tell the world about MVO. Hillary Peterson, with 20 years of marketing experience, became a partner. As a melanoma survivor, Hillary is passionate about creating and marketing products that are safe and effective.

Science and nature have a good thing going. That’s why we pay attention to both so diligently. We use scientific studies and direct research to better understand the aging process. Then, we turn to nature to find ingredients to minimize or counter those effects.

No toxins. Not ever. At MVO what we put in our products is as important as what we don’t. You won’t find toxins, petroleum-based products, nanoparticles, or anything else that’s potentially harmful. We don’t need those ingredients to make your skin look and feel younger.

Sustaining the planet. It’s probably no surprise that our entire company is dedicated to sustainability. Wherever possible we use natural, organic and fair trade ingredients, packaged in 100% recyclable materials. And we source them as close to our Berkeley headquarters as possible to keep our footprint super small.

To make the planet a better place, we donate 10% of our profits to The Acumen Fund, dedicated to creating better opportunities for women and children in Third World countries.

  11. I found your company 2 years ago when I was scouring the research trying to find safe sunscreen for my babes (now 2 and 4). I have since become hooked on several other of your products in addition to the kids screen and converted my mother and a few friends to MVO fans as well. Thank you for products that feel good, smell good, look good, and that I know are good for me and my precious ones! I'm wishing to win this one!
