Snow Magazine features Leaf People
Leaf People
The ingredients in Leaf People products read like a list of superfoods for your skin: ashwagandha, Amazonian acai, goji berries, pumpkin seed oil. Many are hand-harvested by founder Julie Williams, a medical herbalist who sources aspen bark and arnica from the Rocky Mountains and forages for juniper in far-off Buddhist lands. Leaf People’s extensive line has a remedy for everything from a teetering immune system (try the Immunity Aromatherapy) to breakouts (the Blemish Spot Treatment is a lifesaver). The ultra-hydrating Green Tea Helichrysum Radiant Mask is my secret weapon on planes. Unlike most masks, you don’t wash this one off, but let its healing ingredients melt into the skin. It goes on clear, so your seatmates won’t notice, and you’ll arrive with dewy, fresh skin.
During ski season, the Herbal Sports Balm, crafted from high-alpine arnica and turmeric, is excellent for soothing muscles. The Essence of Colorado collection makes great gifts for outdoorsy friends. Curated beauty packs include the Back Country Buddy, a trio of invigorating mint and wheatgrass soap, herbal sports balm, and a roll-on bug bite relief remedy made from tea tree and calendula oils, and the Colorado 14er, which includes mint soap bar, sports balm, plus the best-selling arnica and turmeric hand and body lotion, a hydrating recovery serum for the face, and a soothing arnica and frankincense face cream with plumping hyaluronic acid.
