All About Ursa Major

 

I had the pleasure of talking with Ursa Major at Indie Beauty Expo a few years back and was so impressed with the amount of care and thought that went into each product.  This Vermont based company didn’t want to create another natural skincare line but a truly great skincare line.  The line was started by two individuals who were finding their true north while leaving the city life behind and settling into Vermont. Embracing the outdoors.

 

I love that all their scents are fresh and not overpowering.  Great for any woman or man.  Their products are gluten free and cruelty free.  I love how they go into great depth about the ingredients they use on their website-so easy for a consumer to know right off the bat what they’re about.

 

Ursa Major is able to keep things simple while still creating natural skincare formulas that truly work.  They spend much of their time focused wholeheartedly on what products they are actually creating.  They don’t want another product sitting on the shelf but something that they love.  They want products that perform and only have the essentials, not a long laundry list of ingredients.  Simple is best.  Lastly, they’re line is focused on all gender types- so it works for everyone!

Is Ursa Major A Clean Skincare Brand?

 

Yes, Ursa Major is a clean skincare brand. 

 

In fact, they are free from petrochemicals, SLS, SLES, parabens, synthetic fragrance or color, glycols, silicones or PEGs.

 

On top of that, like I mentioned, they provide great detail on the ingredients they DO use on their website. There will be no question about what is in an Ursa Major product when they make it so easy for the consumer.

 

They don’t just stop there.  Ursa Major Skincare line is also obsessed with making a greater impact in this world.  That is why they are B Corp certified– meeting the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility. 

 

B Corps are more than just a company creating products, they are the gold standard when it comes to corporate and social responsibility.  

 

They take into account the whole business, from employees, environment, community, and suppliers.  Ursa Major Skincare believes it’s more than just creating products, but creating last change for the greater good of our world.  Something I’m so excited to get behind!

5 Ursa Major Products I Can’t Live Without

If you haven’t tried this Sublime Sage Deodorant- you need too!

 

1. Sublime Sage Spray Deodorant

Where has this deodorant been all my life?!  But really.  I first tried this in the fall of 2019 and let’s just say I was hooked after I used it for the first time.  I remember looking at it when I got it in the mail and thinking there is no way this is going to work.  I don’t know about you but spray deodorants have never worked for me- not even conventional ones.  That is until I tried Ursa Majors!  Wow this deodorant really delivers.  When I looked into it more I learned that sage actually helps dry up underarm sweat.  It smells fresh but not too potent.  I smell good all day.  The kicker and what makes it extra special is the fact it doesn’t get all over your clothes!  Most deodorants easily leave a residue all over your clothes and deodorant stains.  Not this one.  And guess what?  My hubs absolutely loves it.  He said it’s his favorite deodorant to date and asked if I could stock him up.  And that’s saying a lot because he’s pretty picky!  He loves that it doesn’t stain his clothes.  I can’t recommend it enough!

Scent- Sage, geranium, sandalwood and lemon myrtle.

Longevity- Awesome!  I smell good all day long.

Ease of Use- SO easy!  I love that it is just a spray.  Makes it so convenient and quick.

Packaging– Comes in a spray bottle.

Staining- It doesn’t stain!  Let me repeat myself- it doesn’t stain!

Irritation- None, if anything it’s better for sensitive underarms because there is no rubbing or chafing.

Baking Soda- None

Get it here!

 

2. Golden Hour Recovery Cream

This has been the perfect moisturizer to add on top of my oils in the morning and at night for a little extra hydration.  I even used this when we were up in the mountains sledding for the day and it kept my skin feeling so hydrated and protected.  Not only does this cream moisturize but also provide great anti-aging benefits with it’s naturally rich antioxidants.  It seeps into my skin so well, and doesn’t feel greasy.  My hubs has been stealing this from me too-that means it’s good people!  He can be pickier than me at times.  What’s even better is the price tag on this cream, $52!  A steal for a green beauty cream that works and is full of skincare actives! Check it out here!

3. Brighten Up Vitamin C Serum

This Ursa Major Skincare serum really goes deep into the skin to not only treat hydration but also help to brighten the skin overall.  It also helps to improve skin’s tone and appearance.  Unlike many forms of Vitamin C that are unstable, Ursa Major contains a stable form of Vitamin C.  But they didn’t stop their with stellar ingredients.  It also contains edelweiss- a stem cell complex that helps to fight the signs of aging with it’s high antioxidant properties.  Plus, one of my favorite skincare ingredients, rosehip oil is in the formula.  Rosehip is naturally high in Vitamin C and can really help to minimize fine lines and scarring.  Your skin feels overall hydrated and more supple after using.  This is also a great layer product.  So you can layer an oil over it, or a moisturizer for added hydration. Shop it here!

 

4. Bright & Easy 3-Minute Flash Mask

This mask gets you glowing in 3 minutes flat- just like the name suggests.  It’s perfect for the most sensitive skin types.  Worried your skin might react to a harsh exfoliant?  This may be the one for you.  Using enzymes to dissolve dead skin cells, this mask does it all in 3 minutes!  It looks like a gel and feels light and refreshing on the skin.  If you’re perpetually running late, this may be the mask for you too- I mean who doesn’t have 3 minutes?!  I put it on before I brush my teeth and rinse off once I’m done.  The perfect amount of time to get a quick glow for the rest of the day.  Get it here!

5. Essential Face Wipes

These wipes from Ursa Major Skincare had me the first time I used them!  They come individually wrapped, and are perfect for your purse.  They’re made out of bamboo and are infused with their 4-in-1 Face Tonic Formula-genius. I carry them with me always, and use them anytime I need a little freshening up.  They get rid of dirt, sweat, and give your skin a quick clean.  I used these on vacation nonstop!  Goodbye sweat- hello fresh face.  So great for after working out, long walks, time spent at the pool…you get the picture.  Let’s just say I’m hooked!  Do you have kids?  These will be your best friend too.  I love using these to help clean my kiddos face in a pinch.  Anyone and everyone needs these.  Check out them out here!
