Q & A

Can I use products from different lines?

Of course! We all know how our skin reacts to different environments, different seasons and different climates while on vacation, during times of stress and with monthly hormonal changes. Our products can be used for all of the phases that our skin goes through so you can mix and match as needed.



Testimonial

I used to have problems with blemishes and always had a shiny forehead. Both problems went away after just a couple of weeks of using Golden Path Alchemy's Renew Cleanser and Renew Serum. My skin now has a new glow and feels soft and clean all day. The facial steams and masks have a fun-spa feel to them and they cleanse the skin completely without drying it out. I'm so grateful I found these products!

Greetings!

Spring has officially arrived! April is a wonderful month that celebrates Earth Day and represents new growth and beginnings. Spring is the prefect time to clean up your skincare and makeup routine.
Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine
Common toxins to avoid in conventional beauty products

Since you are already fans of GPA you are probably dedicated to pure, organic skincare, but here are a few facts. Did you know that your body absorbs 60% of what is applied topically to the skin? Also anything that is applied to the skin bypasses the hepatic system (the amazing filtering capabilities of the liver) and goes straight to the blood. This is scary! Many of the common ingredients in skincare are known carcinogens and hormone disruptors. If possible  read labels on your skincare and if you cannot pronounce the ingredients then you probably should not be putting it on your skin! All of our products are "food for the skin" so you don't have to worry when using Golden Path Alchemy.

Here are a few dangerous chemicals to avoid:

parabens - linked to cancer and hormone disruption
fragrance - linked to allergies and cancer
"PEG" or -"eth" - contain hidden toxins
triclosan - linked to reproductive problems
phthalates - linked to hormone disruption
BPA - linked to hormone disruption
mineral oil/petroleum - linked to skin photo-sensitivity
propylene glycol (and all glycols) - linked to allergic and toxic reactions
sodium laurel sulfates (and all derivatives) - linked to allergic reactions

There are many more. Check out Campaign for Safe Cosmetics for more detailed info. You can also look up your current products in Skin Deep's Safe Cosmetics Database to see how safe or toxic it might be.

Features:

· Coconut - Coconut milk, butter and oil are all rich in antioxidants, promote healing, and prevent future damage. Coconut has a small molecular structure that allows optimal absorption through the skin, resulting in soft, smooth skin that retains elasticity and prevents wrinkles.

· Kiwi - Rich in natural fruit enzymes, antioxidants and essential fatty acids, kiwi fruit has been shown to improve skin radiance, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reduce dark circles under the eyes.

· Acerola Cherry Fruit - This fruit is a powerful antioxidant and contains some of the highest concentrations of vitamin C, which enhances the integrity and texture of skin.
