Fifteen-year-old Ava Anderson has launched Ava Anderson Non-Toxic, the world’s first line of skin care in which every ingredient in every product scores ZERO on the Cosmetics Database toxicity scale.
Maintained by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), The Cosmetics Database was created by marrying 57,000 products and their ingredients, with known, respected, scientific test results from 57 agencies and organizations, including the FDA, EPA, EU Chemical Bureau, Breast Fund, Canadian Chemical Bureau, and others. The database gives each product an overall score, from 0-10, and rates every ingredient in the product on the same 0-10 scale. It also outlines the health hazards and disease implications of toxic (to varying degrees) ingredients.
“A year ago, I first learned from a news report about the health risks of the chemicals I was putting on my face and body every day,” Ava Anderson said. “I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I was frustrated when I discovered that despite ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ claims, many products sold as healthy alternatives still contained questionable ingredients, especially when you realize how many chemicals can be hidden under the ‘fragrance’ ingredient listing.” Anderson’s quest to find an answer led to a meeting in New York with a cosmetics manufacturer who took up the challenge to create a truly non-toxic skin care and cosmetics line. One, as Anderson insisted, that would pass the Cosmetics Database tests with all ZEROS.
“Not only women, but men and children also risk their health by applying these toxic chemicals to their body day after day, year after year,” Anderson said. “Developing an alternative became an obsession for me. With my parents’ help I have been able to do something about this. At the very least, I hope Ava Anderson Non-Toxic will make people more aware of hidden dangers and encourage them to make safer choices.”
Ava’s first six skin care products are built around a core cleansing and moisturizing routine that everyone can use. Formulated with truly safe ingredients, they provide gentle cleansing, moisturizing, conditioning, nourishing and protection for every day healthy skin.
Ava Anderson Non-Toxic employs USA-based Island printers, manufacturers, advertising and marketing talent, graphic artists and web designers. For more information, visit www.AvaAndersonNonToxic.com and www.CosmeticsDatabase.com.

I was so excited a few weeks ago when I brought home my super-healthy container of organic steel cut oats. Then my heart sank when I read the instructions. It would take over 35 minutes to make, which it did. When I make breakfast, I usually have to do it fast because as soon as I start to feel hungry in the morning, the hunger rages.
I learned something, though. I made too much oatmeal but realized I could refrigerate it and heat it up again the next morning. What may seem obvious to all of you seemed to me a streak of pure genius, until a friend told me, “I’ve been doing this for years.” The next day, I scooped out a cup of the cold, hard, but cooked oatmeal and added it to a pan of an inch of boiling water. I stirred the cold oatmeal until it softened and then added frozen blueberries (from my long-lost blueberry trees back home!) and then pecans. In just a minute or two I had a piping hot, fresh bowl of oatmeal. The following several mornings were just as easy. Now, if I can suffer through making a large pot of oatmeal from scratch once every five days or so, I know I’ll have left-overs to last all week.
As far as toppings, anything goes: nuts (especially if you toast them first or caramelize them in honey), seeds, dried fruit, coconut, berries, mango, apricot, bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, etc.
For a bright purple oatmeal that your kids will love, put blueberries in right away and stir until they bleed into the oatmeal.

L’Oréal Paris announced today the company will launch a new innovation in skin cleansing technology, Go 360˚ Clean facial cleansers, with the help of acclaimed actress Freida Pinto, best known for her starring role in “Slumdog Millionaire.” The advertisements featuring Ms. Pinto will unveil the new skin care products on network and cable television in early January.
Throughout the campaign, Ms. Pinto effortlessly demonstrates with her effervescent beauty the unique “Pop-Out. Pour-On. Go Clean” design of Go 360° Clean, featuring the first ever Scrublet cleansing tool that goes beyond clean for an extraordinary, pore-by-pore daily cleansing experience.
“I’m thrilled to represent L’Oréal Paris’ newest innovation, Go 360° Clean. Finally there is a cleanser that really gives you that clean feel. I’m always on the go and traveling, which can dull my skin, so I need a cleanser that will restore my natural luminosity.” said Ms. Pinto. “I love Go 360 Clean’s Scrublet – it’s really cool, and makes cleansing fun as well. It’s gentle on your skin, it takes away all the dullness, and gives you that radiant skin that you’re looking for. It’s great, it’s perfect, I love it.”
The Go 360˚ Clean Scrublet cleansing tool is a super-soft, flexible cleansing disc that applies the collection’s cleansers with 500 extra-supple touch points that gently glide across the skin, activating the cleanser formulas on contact and, creating a hi-foaming lather for a deep clean. Pores look smaller and skin is cleaner, smoother and softer. The Go 360˚ Clean collection offers a complete range of four expertly formulated, high-foam cleansers that are perfectly calibrated to perform with the Scrublet. These four formulas meet the needs of all skin types to cleanse deep to remove dirt and oil.
