Q&A with Juice Beauty CEO Karen Behnke

 image

Did you know that skin absorbs 60% of what we put on it? Neither did we! This was a big wake-up call for Juice Beauty founder Karen Behnke too, who was pregnant at the time—and she decided to do something about it. Juice Beauty’s powerful mission is to provide high-quality organic beauty products that actually work. And now Juice Beauty is on zulily!

We couldn’t wait to hear more about Juice Beauty and share it with our zulily moms, so we asked you to submit your questions and now we’ve got some answers. Voted Top EcoLeader by Glamour magazine in 2009 and with many successful wellness-focused companies under her belt, Behnke gave us the lowdown on Juice Beauty and the answers to your most pressing beauty questions.

Q. I’ve never even heard of Juice Beauty, but I love to try new products! Do they smell yummy while being kind to sensitive skin? What are the customer favs?

I am so excited to introduce you to Juice Beauty! We do have amazing scents (without any synthetics) and have great products for sensitive skin! A few products I would recommend to you are the Cleansing Milk, Treatment Oil, Stem Cellular Moisturizer (one of our customer’s favorite scents), Stem Cellular Eye Treatment and Green Apple Peel Sensitive. All of these products are great for sensitive skin!

Q. What are the best products to purchase for someone new to juice beauty?

Well you are in luck! zulily is offering some of the best bundles to introduce you to the brand! Our products are broken down by collection, so it depends on your skin needs/concerns. Below is a quick collection overview!

  • Daily Essentials Collection: For all skin types! Great for sensitive skin with redness.
  • Blemish Clearing Collection: Since our products are chemical free, you will NOT strip your skin but instead hydrate it while clearing.
  • Green Apple Collection: Great for sun/age spots or scars from blemishes. Very active with fruit acids so not recommended for sensitive skin.
  • Stem Cellular Collection: Good for all skin types. This collection will reduce fine lines and wrinkles using fruit stem cells, grapeseed and Vitamin C!

 

Q: Do you do animal testing?

NO! In fact we were just awarded Courage in Commerce award from PETA which notices Juice Beauty for not testing on animals. We manufacture our products in the USA where we can assure quality!

Q: Are they gluten free?

All of our Makeup products are certified gluten free. Our Skincare products themselves are free of gluten (we do not have a gluten free certification for them).

Q: Are you GMO free?

 We source the vast majority of our ingredients from USDA certified organic farms, and do not use ingredients sourced from GMO seeds. One of our major retailers, Whole Foods, will require all products to be certified GMO free by 2018. We will begin this certification process well in advance to comply with the Whole Foods initiative so we will soon have the GMO Free certification!

Q: How can I get rid of dark circles under my eyes and dark marks on my knee caps?

For the dark circles under your eyes, our Stem Cellular Eye Treatment is perfect! Not only will it help with dark circles but it will help with any fine lines and wrinkles. For your knee caps, use the Green Apple Peel! The combination of fruit acids and vitamin rich ingredients will help to even that area. I can’t wait to hear how it works for you! 

Q. What is the percentage of beta hydroxyl acid in the green apple full strength peel?

The Green Apple Peel Full Strength has 13-15% Alpha and Beta Hydroxy acid in it! This is a spa grade peel and will give you amazing results to brighten and lighten your skin!

Q: I’m shopping for my friend who’s preggers. She’s super concerned about what she uses on her skin. Is this good to use while she is pregnant?

What a great friend you are! Yes, your friend can use almost all Juice Beauty products while she is pregnant and nursing. Many of the bundles available this weekend on Zulily are GREAT during pregnancy. The only collections we do not recommend during pregnancy are the Green Apple Collection and certain products in the Blemish Clearing line (she is safe to use the Blemish Clearing Peel and Blemish Clearing Mask!)I would recommend the Organic Facial Wash, Organic Treatment Oil, Cleansing Milk, Hydrating Mist and Blemish Clearing Mask as just a few to get her started!

Q: I’m pregnant and have “mask of pregnancy”. What products can/should I use?

The Green Apple Blemish Clearing Peel will be perfect for you! It is safe to use during pregnancy and will help with any discoloration. It will also brighten your skin so you can maintain that pregnancy glow!

Q: Does it help with adult acne and sensitive skin?  Which products should I try? 

Our Blemish Clearing Collection would be perfect for you! Since we do not have chemicals, artificial dyes or synthetic fragrances they should not irritate your skin! However, we always recommend doing a patch test before you start using the products, just to make sure.
