Aubrey Organics introduces Green Tea Hair and Skin Care Line; Traditional Asian formula inspires 10 exciting new herbal products.

TAMPA, Fla.--(HealthWire)--March 6, 1995--Aubrey Organics, America's first 100% natural cosmetics company, has introduced Green Tear Hair and Skin Care Line, 10 products that feature the healthful benefits of green tea.

The world's most popular beverage going back to the Sung period (960-1279 AD), green tea is high in antioxidants which are 20 times stronger than vitamin E and offer unique benefits to the hair and skin, especially in Aubrey's 100% natural formulas.

Aubrey's green tea comes from Japan, powdered Matcha, revered for over 1,000 years by the people of Japan as part of their renowned Tea Ceremony. This green powder is used without dilution or extraction in Aubrey's Green Tea Cleansing Lotion (4 oz. bottle/$6.50), Green Tea & Green Clay Rejuvenating Facial Mask (4 oz. jar/$7.55), Green Tea & Ginkgo Facial Toner (4 oz. bottle/$6.50), and Green Tea & Ginkgo Daily Moisturizer (SPF 15) (4 oz. bottle/$13.25). This innovative skin care system combines green tea with certified organic aloe vera gel, blue camomile oil from Morocco and lemon peel extract to soothe and heal skin. Aubrey's newest products are green in color -- an effect produced without any synthetic colors, just the pure Matcha green tea.

Organic green tea extract (made with distilled water) is the form of green tea favored by Aubrey in Green Tea Hair Treatment Shampoo (8 oz. bottle/$7.80). Pure coconut and corn oil soap cleans the hair gently, with no synthetic detergents or foam-builders. Aubrey mixes jojoba oil with oat protein and coconut fatty acids to make rich and creamy Green Tea Herbal Cream Rinse (8 oz. bottle/$8.30) for softer, more manageable hair.

Green Tea is especially beneficial for sun-damaged skin, which is why Aubrey included it in Green Tea Sunblock For Children (SPF 25) (4 oz. bottle/$7.00), combining amino-benzoic acid (PABA) -- a B vitamin analog produced as part of human metabolism and widely available as a supplement -- and microcrystallized titanium dioxide, a naturally-occurring mineral. Evening primrose oil is a noted folk remedy for dry skin, which is why Aubrey included it in Green Tea Hand & Body Lotion (4 oz. bottle/$6.75). There's even a deodorant -- Green Tea, Vitamin E and Calendula Roll-On Deodorant (3.6 oz. bottle/$6.75) for an aluminum-free way to stay fresh-feeling all day long.

Aubrey's Green Tea Sampler (5 bottles, .05 oz. each/$5.50) combines travel-sized bottles of shampoo, cream rinse, cleanser, mask and sunscreen moisturizer for a convenient and inexpensive way to sample these natural products.

Aubrey's Green Tea Hair and Skin Care Line is now available from natural products retailers or by calling Aubrey Organics directly at 1-800-AUBREY-H (1-800-282-7394) or 813/877-4186.
