Holistic nutritionist Julie Gabriel, author of The Green Beauty Guide, has recently released “Creme Galen” - a cold cream cleanser without petrochemicals,  glycols, or parabens.  The cleanser was created using the exact recipe from Aelius Galenus (or Galen of Pergamum), a Greek philosopher and physician.  She saw no reason to re-create the wheel and second guess the Father of Cold Cream (Art of Perfumery, 1857).

Ms. Gabriel’s “Creme Galen” adds rose water and rose oil to the recipe for additional scent and nutrients, but that is the only embellishment.  Read more about “Creme Galen” and Julie’s work on her website.
