With luxury, simplicity and health in mind, Terralina co-founders and cousins Patricia Bazan Garrubbo and Gina Garrubbo created the Natural Skincare Gift Set. The duo's quest to create a new breed of skincare began nine years ago, when cousins Gina and Patricia were pregnant and the women wanted to treat their bodies (and their growing babies) to only the best. They realized that while eating organic and hormone-free food was relatively simple, understanding the potential dangers in personal care products was not. "Most people don't realize that what they put on their skin goes into their body," says Gina, "We want skincare that is good for us both inside and out."
True to the company’s philosophy of start-to-finish eco-friendly products and packaging, Terralina’s new gift packaging is a green and purple open square box made of 100% post-consumer recycled grocery bags, proving that one person’s trash can truly be another’s treasure.
The grocery bags used were collected from the streets of India, where they had become a litter liability - clogging the drainage system during the rainy seasons, and posing a health hazard. In addition to helping the waste crisis, the collection of these bags has created jobs for local home-bound women, who previously were unable to hold a full time job while watching after their children.
Once the bags are collected, they go through a non-toxic cleaning method, followed by an extraordinary process where they are stripped and pressed to create a vibrant color, without additional dyes or inks. Each Terralina gift box is special due both to its beauty and its poignant socially conscious message.
In addition to helping rid Delhi of its severe waste crisis, the profits from the purchase of the recycled materials are used to fund projects in the poorest communities of India and help to feed between 400 and 600 families daily.
Using only what is essential, effective and safe, Terralina products are incredibly luxurious and rich in antioxidants, such as olive oil, olive leaf and white tea, to combat the damaging effects of free radicals. Terralina products do not contain parabens, PEGs, ethoxylates, glycols, acrylates, silicones, or artificial fragrance.
The line includes: Terralina Facial Moisturizer, Body Lotion, Gentle Facial Cleanser, Gentle Facial Toner, and the NEW Gentle Facial Exfoliator.
“At Terralina, we wanted our packaging on the outside to match the integrity and purity of the ingredients on the inside,” says Patricia.
The Terralina Gift Box Set is available with the Facial Regimen (Facial Cleanser, Toner & Moisturizer) for $83 and the Full Line for $105. Terralina products can be purchased at Terralina.com.
