With so many products on the market, where does a girl turn for skincare she can trust? The answer is Grace & Pepper Organics, a fresh new start-up from creator Melanie Knight.
Melanie started the line to honor the memory of her Black Lab, Lexie, her faithful companion for ten years. “Lexie taught me that life is short, and you should chase your dreams regardless of those who question how sane you are for leaving a fabulous corporate job.”
At 25, Melanie was diagnosed with adult acne. She spent years trying every over-the-counter and prescription treatment available. When potentially toxic medications still gave her no relief, she turned to organics.
Virtually every commercial skincare product available today, including many labeled “Natural” or “Organic,” is anything but. The more Melanie learned about what’s in most skincare, the more convinced she became that women (and men!) need truly natural alternatives. She decided to create her own skincare line; one designed to calm, nourish and support the skin, without a list of chemicals a mile long.
After two years of researching and sourcing ingredients, using friends and family as human guinea pigs, Grace & Pepper Organics was born.
Grace & Pepper products are cruelty-free, naturally preserved, and up to 94% organic. The line includes a Calming Facial Toner with Lavender and Chamomile, Clarifying Facial Cleanser with Activated Charcoal and Green Tea, Clarifying Facial Moisturizer with Shea and Jojoba, and a Moisturizing Eye Cream with Pomegranate Extracts.
The ingredients are fair trade, and even their manufacturing facility is FDA registered, USDA Organic Certified, and uses renewable energy sources. They’ve also been “Stamped Green” for their commitment to green, eco-friendly business practices.
We think Lexie would be proud.
Grace & Pepper products are available online at graceandpepper.com.

Anakiri BioEnergetic Skincare recently added a new item to its lineup of all natural skincare products. Honey Mint Lip Balm, a soothing combination of calendula infused olive oil, bee propolis, honey, peppermint essential oil, and tea tree essential oil has been met with great excitement in the spa industry. Custom formulated to moisturize lips after abuse from sun, wind, and weather; the all-natural ingredients protect and soften lips without leaving a waxy residue.
Gregory Hake, CEO of Anakiri noted, “Our goal was to create a simple, natural product. Honey Mint Lip Balm contains healthy and natural ingredients. Each batch is hand crafted to exacting standards and is designed to replenish damaged lips with the oils necessary for looking and feeling great.”
Anakiri’s Lip Balm was originally created for professional facial treatments as a deep moisturizing therapy. Although most lip balms protect with a waxy coating, Honey Mint Lip Balm moisturizes with healing oils, leaving lips feeling soft and natural. The addition of bee propolis, known to have antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties, creates the ultimate in lip care. Propolis, which means “defender of the city” in Greek, has proven antibiotic and antiseptic properties and is a much sought-after ingredient in cosmetic use. Honey Mint Lip Balm comes in a tube that can be carried in a purse or pocket and may just be the most convenient spa treatment available.
Erich Worster, President of Anakiri stated, “You can think of our Honey Mint Lip Balm as a gourmet experience. If you’re the kind of person that would rather have a carefully crafted meal from a chef-owned restaurant than to eat at the chain down the street, you’ll love our Honey Mint Lip Balm”.
Honey Mint Lip Balm is available at www.anakiri.com as well as at day spas, resorts and spas throughout the United States.
Anakiri, located on picturesque Deerfield Estate in Dahlonega, GA is an all-natural, eco-conscious, skin care company that offers innovative and results oriented skin, body, massage, aromatherapy, and apothecary products. Anakiri uses the latest BioEnergetic science along with pure essential oils, botanicals, key vitamins, enzymes, and super antioxidants to achieve phenomenal results. Why BioEnergetic?
