Petite Marie Organics was founded in 2007 by holistic nutritionist and skincare expert Julie Gabriel. Former magazine beauty editor, Julie is the author of several books on natural beauty including The Green Beauty Guide (2009) and Green Beauty Recipes (2011). Her new book, Natural Beauty Inside Out, will be released in 2013 by Seven Stories Press.

Julie started the line while being pregnant with her daughter Marie. When she couldn't find perfectly pure baby products so she started blending, steaming and macerating trying to make safe and effective products that both moms and babies could use. She created her first products, cleansing gel and a body oil, in her kitchen in England.

In 2012, we plan to revive this concept in a new organic range MAMARIA which would contain face and body care products suitable for both moms and babies.

All products are made in-house in Tunbridge Wells (UK) or Wollerau (Switzerland) using organic and natural ingredients. Company's office is currently located in Switzerland.

Petite Marie Organics has two main ranges: Petite Marie Organics luxurious handmade products for acne and other skin problems and Green Beauty range of affordable organic cleansers, toners, and moisturizers for daily natural skin care.

Petite Marie Organics specializes in natural solutions for problem skin. The range initially contained cleansers, toners, moisturizers and masks for acne-prone, blemished skin. In 2011 we have added topical treatments for hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, sagging skin, large pores and scars.

Unlike most organic brands on the market who offer "chamomile face washes" and "pineapple face masks", Petite Marie Organics offers result-oriented, targeted products that solve specific skin problems. Combining pure organic bases with innovative natural active ingredients, Petite Marie Organics' products are formulated for effectiveness and visible results.

True to our organic claims, Petite Marie Organics products contain no petrochemicals, parabens or other synthetic preservatives, artificial dyes or fragrances, formaldehyde donors, lanolin or artificial sunscreens. With one exception (Cleansing Powder is currently being reformulated to become vegan) Petite Marie Organics products are vegan and contain no beeswax.

In the nearest plans for Petite Marie Organics is the launch of its own hair care range focusing on natural hair loss prevention and a range of anti-aging and anti-acne skin supplements.

In our plans for 2012 is to open the first truly organic spa where face and body treatments will be created in-house for a specific client based on his or her skin condition and concerns. This spa will also sell Petite Marie Organics skincare and carefully selected ranges of organic perfumes, supplements and natural makeup.

Petite Marie Organics products are currently available on our website, petitemarieorganics.com, and selected natural beauty retailers.
