Many of us know how awesome Eminence Organic Skin Care is, but do we know how to avoid counterfeit products?
I was introduced to Eminence by my sister who worked at a spa that sold Eminence products. She scored me a bunch of samples and I was immediately hooked! Every product I tried, I liked. They had such a good consistency to them, and they felt good on my skin.
Maria and I both wanted to share Eminence with you, our lovely readers. We wanted you to be able to experience this amazing product line for yourselves, so we wrote reviews and recommended Eminence products in articles. We linked to Amazon as the place to buy Eminence (since it is such a convenient shop).
But I tell you now, we were wrong.
We were wrong because we soon discovered that you cannot buy high-quality Eminence products on Amazon.
My journey to this discovery started because I wanted to know why some of the reviews on Amazon were from people complaining that the products they were receiving were “off” and inconsistent. I remembered reading that only authorized dealers could sell Eminence products so I wanted to know if these Amazon sellers were legit. I had to investigate.
So I went straight to the source. I went to Eminence’s website and chatted with a representative.
She told me that the sellers on Amazon are not authorized sellers. This means that the products they sell are either imitations or outdated (sheesh). That is why the prices are so low on Amazon, and why you will see reviews from people complaining that the product they got seemed “off” somehow. It is also why you can see people selling Eminence samples on Amazon!
I was not impressed.
I then entered a quest to find an authorized Eminence distributor that also sold online, and I am happy to say that I have found one that I have been happy to partner up with!

I talked with Amy via email and asked her to tell me a bit about herself, here is what she had to say:
As an Esthetician for over ten years, I’ve used only Eminence in my spa for over ten years. I find that Eminence is my tool kit for correcting all skin concerns organically, especially for the highly sensitive client. One size does not fit all in the extensive Eminence Organic Skin Care line. That’s why it is important to consult with a licensed esthetician in order to determine the right choices to address specific skin care needs. Buying Eminence Organic Skin Care from an approved distributor / esthetician ensures selection guidance, results and ultimately happy customers. If one purchases products on Amazon, there is a strong probability that the Eminence they purchase is an imitation, expired or damaged product. Keep that in mind and PLEASE purchase from an APPROVED EMINENCE DISTRIBUTOR.

January 20, 2017 at 2:43 pmThis is amazing! I have never used organic skin care, but I think I really need it! All the make up and sun we are exposed to is very damaging to our skin.
I’m going to become a frequent reader of this website because I love my skin and I deal with dry body skin. Natural skin care seems to be the way to go, so I would love to learn more. Does this company have a body lotion or body oil?

January 20, 2017 at 6:23 pmHi Ericka đŸ™‚ Our skin takes damage from the elements that is for sure. Eminence has a lovely body lotion for dry skin, it is called Mimosa Champagne Body Lotion. It is high in antioxidants, helps skin stay youthful, prevents pigmentation and soothes inflammation. You can get it at Amy’s Organic Skin Care (where we recommend shopping for Eminence products).

January 20, 2017 at 3:16 pmHi,
This is good information for starters I am a fan of natural skin care products. A lot of products full of alcohols and perfumes dry out the skin. So I will certainly be looking into this product line. In addition to that Amazon has been on the news for allowing sellers to sell counterfeit products and I think Amazon is certainly compromising their integrity for the sake of a sell. Authenticity is important for an e-business. Thanks for the info.

January 20, 2017 at 6:16 pmThanks for commenting Lisa, I have no idea where people get these outdated or counterfit products to sell. It amazes me that poeple would want to be that deceptive.

Thank you so much for this post. I’ve been looking for legitimate and authorised Éminence organics retailers and I’m so glad I came across your blog. I’m so wary of buying items online because there are some sellers that aren’t true to their word.
I absolutely love organic products, and I first discovered Éminence organics at a spa while on vacation at the Outer Banks in North Carolina. I’m so glad I now have a go to place online that will deliver my products straight to my door.
Thank you SO much.
XOXO
