 
Achieving an organic lifestyle has moved beyond the grocery isle to the health and beauty section with many products boasting all-natural ingredients. Before you take the plunge into the phenomenon of organics, make sure to take a long look at labels. While cosmetics can be labeled “organic” by barely meeting the 70 percent requirement of all-natural ingredients, Deep Steep, a line of 100-percent organic skin care products, keeps no secrets from its customers. Locally owned by Royal Labs Cosmetics based in Johns Island, Deep Steep offers an array of subtly scented scrubs, hand and body lotions, moisture sticks as well as hair care that contain no synthetic fragrances or petroleum derivatives. With options such as Lavender Chamomile and Rosemary Mint, each product is handcrafted by master herbalists, chemists, and aromatherapists and all scents are carefully chosen for their therapeutic effects. Find solace in this refreshing line of honest organic products available at Stella Nova at 118 E. Richardson Ave. in Summerville, at 292 King St. downtown, or visit Deep Steep online at
