You Asked for More Hair Products!
Here they are!
Let Me Introduce You!
Over the past three years I have had more requests than I can count for more hair products and when I heard these were releasing I couldn't have been more excited!
The other fun part of these products is that they were developed by Xavier Ormancey. He joined Beautycounter this past September as our new Head of Product Development.
Xavier has been studying plants since he was a child. He grew up in a small town in France, and his aunt was the local “witch” as he called her. She used plants to heal people, and so he learned from her and decided he wanted to study the science behind why these plants worked.
He studied to be an organic chemist and has spent years traveling the world to remote locations, learning from local healers, and studying ancient traditional medicines to find the key to beautiful, healthy skin. I’m talking climbing the Himalayas, wading through leech-infested waters, cutting his way through dense jungles. The man will go anywhere to find the right plant.
He’s earned a global reputation as a visionary and pioneer of environmentally friendly products, and believes that plants and the human body can and do interact in beneficial ways.

Asbestos Found in Makeup Sold By Justice
This is not ok and extremely infuriating! 😡 Add this to my list of reasons why I do what I do. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
According to the article the talc was contaminated with asbestos along with heavy metals barium, chromium, selenium and lead, which are neurotoxins. Due to lack of regulation ingredients do not have to go through testing for safety or contamination such as this. This could have been easily prevented with testing for contamination. While this is one instance I would venture a guess that if more companies products were tested there would be more cases like this.
Talc in and of itself is not a concern, but it's risk for contamination with harmful ingredients is the concern.
When the asbestos fibers are inhaled they travel to the bottom of the lung and this is where the sit for years and have the highest chance of causing disease.
Right now the personal care industry is a $200 billion dollar industry where 80% of ingredients used have never been tested for human safety.
What can be done? Choose products that come from companies that use careful ingredient selection processes and test vigorously for contamination. We also need more health protective laws to help keep products safer.
Countermatch is coming back this week!
I'm giving you all the inside scoop that Countermatch should be back this week!
I won't make any promises, but that is what should happen. I will let you know as soon as it's live and if you want me to order for you, let me know. I don't know the likelihood of running out this time, but to be safe I wouldn't wait.
I've been using it since it launched and I'm in love. It's light yet hydrating and seems perfect no matter where I am. It doesn't make me break out either, which happens a lot with moisturizers.
It's an incredible moisturizer, so if you are wanting to try something new this is it!
Meet Countermatch! There isn’t another product like it on the market. It is an adaptive moisture lotion for clients looking for optimal hydration, radiance, and smoothness. By using the life-giving properties of plants it adapts to always changing agressors in modern life including sun, weather, travel, hormones, stress, emotions, and pollution. Healthy skin needs water, nutrition, and oxygen. The formula is powered by breakthrough bio-mimic technology that harnesses the unique properties of plants to match the function of healthy skin.
Common moisturizers use mineral oil, petroleum and silicone to make them feel like they are doing their job. They make the skin feel silky, but in reality those ingredients are just sitting on the skin’s surface.
Countermatch’s layered look matches the natural structure of skin. It is ideal for sensitive, dry, or oily/combination skin. It changes its hydration level throughout the day based on what it needs. How incredible is that?

One Last, But Very Important Thing!
I never want to leave anyone out when it comes to this opportunity by assuming it wouldn't be for them. I also don't want anyone to say they wouldn't be good at this as they don't want to sell anything, don't know enough people, or don't have time. I was in your shoes.
Do you see those pictures below? This is my business. I'm teaching my kiddos what hard work looks like and Elijah loves helping me! I fit it into the nooks and crannies of my week and while I have made this my full time business it doesn't have to be that way for anyone else. I never want anyone to look at what I do and say that they could never do it. Everyone does this differently, that's the beauty and I am here to help.
I have offered this on my business page, but don't want any of you to miss this.
From now until July 31st I will be selecting 4 individuals who are passionate about education, health, wellness, and being a part of a social mission to get safer products into everyone's hands to join me. If you have been curious about what this entails I invite you to coffee and I will share openly and honestly everything about this opportunity that makes me so incredibly happy and excited for what it might hold for you!
"Success is giving people access to information, creating better, safer products, and advocating for legislative change that moves the industry forward. What better job is there in the world?" Gregg Renfrew, Founder, CEO
The icing on the cake is that I am covering startup costs*!
What do you have to lose? ❤️
Tara Woodland, Executive Director
I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Lucas, since 2003. Prior to having our son, Elijah, in 2013, I was a Family Nurse Practitioner for 4.5 years where I put my focus on disease prevention and tried to treat conditions with lifestyle changes when possible. For years I have paid attention to what I put in my body and made sure I exercised.
After Elijah was born I decided I couldn’t go back to work. I made the decision to stay home and raise him. When he was 8 months old, a fellow CrossFitting friend reached out to me about Beautycounter and when I started hearing about some of the information on how our environment and our personal care products impacts our health I knew I had to do something. I have been trained to help and educate people to lead healthier lives. I don’t want my son and daughter growing up in a world where they have to read labels for harmful ingredients and to see a rise in health conditions that are so quickly growing largely in part to our environmental exposures. I love that we are an education first, product second company. And, the fact that we have amazing products is a huge bonus! My family are my “why” on this mission. To me this is so much more than selling a personal care product.
I love being a leader in this company and helping other people achieve their goals. I am here to help you in any way possible so never hesitate to reach out. xoxo
