The latest offerings in our Apothecary department hail from Michigan brand Valor Skincare. This highly effective and nourishing line is powered by organic botanicals, adaptogens and clinical-grade actives. The range is full of skin-loving formulations for people who love to spend time outdoors, say in the beautiful waters of our sparking lakes or along the trails within our lush forests.
We're fans of the line from top to bottom, and we're in good company, because Midwest Living magazine is too:
Valor Skincare is based in Traverse City, Michigan. Its founder, Susie Grace, suffered a late-term pregnancy loss, and found herself motivated to learn more about the chemicals in our environments. She discovered that the United States has much looser regulations for skincare ingredients than many other countries—and hence, Valor was born. In addition to what goes into their products, the Traverse City, Michigan, also puts a lot of thought into how they're delivered, with a focus on sustainable packaging and water-free formulas. "I started with their powder-to-foam cleanser, and now use everything Susie makes," says Midwest Living contributor Stacy Conde. "A random woman at a restaurant recently told me, 'Your skin is like glass!' Maybe it's genes... but also it's Valor!" -- Midwest Living Magazine
Our must-have pick for right this instant? Valor's After Sun Soothing Serum. Packed with Coconut Milk, Organic Aloe Vera, Green Tea, Noni Oil, and Cucumber Seed Oil, this unscented formula soothes, cools, hydrates, and restores sun-stressed skin.
