LOS ANGELES—Kelly Teegarden Organics is a new chemical-free skin care line personally formulated by a cancer survivor to protect and nourish the body.
Each certified organics and natural ingredient was specifically and personally chosen with Teegarden’s passion to deliver quality, all-natural alternatives to traditional, chemical-based skin care products.
At the age of 38, and with three children under the age of 5, KTO founder Kelly Teegarden was shocked to learn she had Stage III thyroid cancer. Rather than view the disease as a defeat, Teegarden took stock of her life and everything in it, including careful assessment of products she and her family used every day. It was during this journey to well-being that Teegarden became aware of the number of products that contained cancer-causing and endocrine-disrupting chemicals.
Frustrated and unsatisfied by the limited chemical-free options, Teegarden became determined to create cutting-edge products that were free of harmful ingredients.
“After my Stage III thyroid cancer diagnosis and thousands of hours of research into how I could have gotten cancer in the first place I discovered that stress and chemicals were the culprit,” Teegarden told AVN. “I went through all the products in my home, even my personal care products, and discovered that ingredients like propylene glycol, are cancer causing and are used commercially as an anti-freeze. I didn’t want these toxins on or in my body! I felt the only way to ensure that the product was truly chemical free was to work with one of the best labs in country and formulate it myself. Regulation on skin care and personal care products is not as strict as people may believe.”
Teegarden combed nearly every continent to identify the best certified-organic and chemical-free ingredients to use in the skin care line.
“I was very lucky to have found an amazing lab that helped me source the natural and organic ingredients that I used in my line,” she said.
Included in the skin care line is a lubricant. L-18, Teegarden said, provides lubrication with the perfect blend of resistance and glide. The chemical-free and pH balanced formulation has been designed to protect the most fragile mucous linings in the body.
“The positive feedback we have received on this product exceeded our expectations, and that information speaks volumes,” she said. “Made with only four 100 percent natural ingredients, this lubricant is safe and effective.”
