Does natural skincare work, really? An esthetician's honest review
As an esthetician, I'm all about results. I eat organic, drink filtered water, and am very health conscious, so naturally, I'm concerned with what I put on my face and body, too. But honestly, I never was a fan of natural skincare products. In my experience, most natural skincare brands didn't deliver the results I was looking for.
Skincare is a personal choice, and what works for one person might not work for another. I'm less concerned with labels like 'natural' and more focused on finding products with high-quality and performing ingredients that deliver results for my skin. Plenty of companies do their research and create amazing formulas that aren't harmful to you and give you results.
But some people prefer organic or botanical skincare options, and I get that. So, when I stumbled upon Green Envee (I think it was on Facebook!), I was intrigued. This line combines the best of both worlds: botanical skincare that actually works, without compromising on quality, results, or science.
That's the question I had when I first discovered Green Envee. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, yes, natural skincare can work – and it can work beautifully. Green Envee proves you don't have to sacrifice efficacy for natural ingredients. Read the Never-Ever list of ingredients they'll never use here.
In my opinion, not really. "Natural" is a word that gets tossed around a lot but has no actual definition beyond marketing. It's important to remember that "natural" doesn't automatically mean "gentle" or "hypoallergenic." Natural ingredients can trigger allergies and sensitivities, sometimes even more so than synthetic ingredients.
Here's where things get really interesting: for natural skincare ingredients – like raspberry or green tea – to be truly effective, they often need to be "chirally corrected." What does that mean?
Imagine molecules having a "left hand" and a "right hand" version. These versions are mirror images of each other, yet they can have different properties. Sometimes, only one of those versions is beneficial for your skin. Chirally correcting an ingredient means selecting only the most effective version of the molecule. Without this correction, a natural ingredient might not do much for your skin and could even cause irritation.
This is just one example of how the science behind skincare formulation is incredibly complex. It's not simply about slapping a few natural ingredients together and calling it a day. It takes expertise and careful consideration to create truly effective and safe products, whether natural or not.
Ultimately, the "better" choice depends on your philosophies, preferences, and skin needs. Are natural skincare products better for the environment? Generally speaking, yes. Natural ingredients tend to be more sustainable and eco-friendlier. But it's important to remember that "natural" doesn't always equal "effective."
That's why I love Green Envee – they've found the sweet spot where natural ingredients meet cutting-edge science to deliver real results. Plus, Green Envee takes its commitment to the planet seriously. They've consciously tried to reduce their environmental impact by using 80% post-consumer recycled materials in their packaging. Even better, they incorporate plastic reclaimed from the ocean, giving new life to waste that would otherwise pollute our waters.
That's the question I had when I first discovered Green Envee. I was stunned to find that, yes, when it comes to Green Envee, natural skincare can work – and it can work beautifully. This organic skincare line proves you don't have to sacrifice efficacy for natural ingredients.
Green Envee is a botanical skincare line rooted in nature but driven by science. It sources organic, non-GMO ingredients from artisan farmers and fair-trade wild harvesters, ensuring the highest quality botanicals for your skin. But they don't stop there. They also harness the power of plant peptides, stem cells, and skin-perfecting AHAs delivered through a targeted system for maximum efficacy.
Green Envee offers a wide range of products to address various skin concerns. Here are a few of my favorites:
If you're looking for natural skincare that is results driven, let me recommend Green Envee. It's the perfect blend of nature and science, offering luxurious, effective products that are good for your skin and the planet. So, does natural skincare work? With Green Envee, the answer is a resounding yes.

I’m Pila, the owner and hands-on esthetician behind Heaven on Earth in beautiful Aspen, Colorado. My skincare journey began over 30 years ago, when a “gap year” led me to a job at Clinique. What started as work quickly became a passion—and ultimately, a calling.
Since then, I’ve had the honor of working with thousands of clients, each with their own story and skin journey. I created Heaven on Earth from a simple belief: skincare isn’t just about products or trends—it’s about connection, care, and rituals that restore you from the inside out.
Whether you’re visiting my spa in Aspen or connecting with me here online, thank you for trusting me with your skin. I can’t wait to share my favorite products, tips, and a little bit of heaven with you.

Best self care morning ever! Pila did an amazing job with my massage and facial!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! It was lovely to meet you and I'm glad you enjoyed your massage and facial so much! I can't wait to see you next year too!
Pila is so personable, making me feel like a valued customer! And her Skin Script products are amazing!
Thank you so much, Dawn! I’m so happy to hear that you’ve had a great experience shopping with Heaven on Earth online. I always want you to feel cared for and confident in what you choose. I agree, Skin Script products deliver such beautiful, consistent results. I’m so grateful for your support!
Pila’s massages and facials are the best. She makes sure to talk through any goals or problems ahead of time and address them thoughtfully. Her lymphatic drainage and gua sha add-ons are so effective and soothing. I wish I could see her every day!
My boyfriend and I were on a weekend road trip to Aspen and decided to treat ourselves to facials. We booked online the day before—super quick and easy—and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. Pila was absolutely lovely: kind, knowledgeable, and had the most light, bubbly energy that made us feel instantly at ease. Both of us left feeling refreshed and glowing. Highly recommend if you’re in the area—and we’d definitely come back next time we’re in town!
