WHY HEAR ME RAW! is our favorite new skincare line

Beauty blogs and websites are filled with articles and comments claiming various products are the “holy grail” of x, y or z. Meaning the perfect product you’ve been looking for all your life. Here at No Kill Magazine to say that we expect our beauty to be “clean” and cruelty free is a no brainer. We have no interest in putting ingredients on our skin that “might” cause cancer or “interrupt” our hormones. (What does that even mean? We thought once-a-month periods were enough hormonal havoc, thank you very much!)

And then let’s talk about packaging for a minute. Why make products that are good for your skin but put them in packaging that’s bad for the planet?

And lastly, we can’t ignore price. While we fully believe in “buy less, buy better” we don’t think this should mean a basic face cleanser that gets washed down the drain should be seventy six or more dollars.

Just 4 products for beautiful skin

So we’ve been left to cherry pick products. A cleanser from one brand, an exfoliator from another and maybe a home-made face mask while on a Netflix binge. Which is why we’re thrilled to discover HEAR ME RAW –a new skincare line with just four products: The Brightener, The Detoxifier, the Clarifier and the Hydrator. We’re going to break down what’s great about all of them below. But first an FYI – like many of our best discoveries this one was through a friend. In this case Francesca, who also agreed to be our model for this shoot. We think it’s important for you to know that the person we’re featuring actually uses the products and has done for months.

And sidenote: our dermatologist is always telling us if we’re trying new products we should use them for at least 2 months before deciding that they’re not working. So always have patience!

A little background

HEAR ME RAW! Was started by Industry vet Mike Indursky -former CEO of Bliss, CMO of Burt’s Bees– who grew increasingly frustrated with the toxic beauty industry norms.

“I started HEAR ME RAW, an activist, mission-based company based on honoring people by fighting through all the industry BS to do what’s best for their skin, health, budget and the world around them.”

— Mike Indursky, Founder of HEAR ME RAW!

Not only is HEAR ME RAW created with yummy good-for-your-skin ingredients, it comes in glass containers with replaceable, recyclable plastic product pods which saves you money when you buy refills and produces less waste which is good for the planet.
