What They Say: "Our foaming cleansing gel synthesizes natural grapefruit extract with amino acid-based cleansing agents. Gently and thoroughly purifies and hydrates, unlike traditionally harsh detergents, to ph balance all skin types, especially sensitive skin. Rinsing free of residue without irritation, drying, or stripping; helping to reduce epidermal stress. Perfect make-up removal. Natural fragrance and color. Easily integrated into daily maintenance and prevention regimen."
Jen's Experience: It's true! Malin + Goetz's facial cleanser does a great job removing my makeup and any dirt and oil that's built up over the course of the day. It's a clear liquid that smells great and foams lightly while I'm washing my face. And it rinses off easily so that it doesn't irritate my skin. My sensitive skin loves this stuff, and it doesn't strip away the oils in my skin so it works when my skin is dry as well.

What They Say: "Our oil-free, residue-free moisturizer scientifically synthesizes natural vitamins E and B5 and soothing chamomile with absorbent fatty acids. Gently and effectively hydrates and ph balances all skin types, unlike traditionally greasy pore-clogging oils, for an intensely nourishing treatment, reducing epidermal irritation for the most sensitive of skin. Perfect foundation for immediate make-up application. Natural fragrance and color. Easily integrated into daily maintenance and prevention regimen."
Jen's Experience: With winter on its way, normally I have to go for the really super-thick moisturizers so that I don't get skin that's downright flaky and scaly. When I first started using this face moisturizer, I didn't think it would hold up to my winter needs. It's creamy, but it's thin enough that I only have to use a bit to cover my entire face and neck instead of half the container. My face feels like it can breathe when I am wearing it, instead of feeling smothered under layers and layers of moisturizer. And amazingly, even though the air is cold and dry, my face stays moisturized from morning to night.
I love the way this moisturizer feels on my face, I love the way my make-up glides on when I'm wearing it, and I really love that my face has been clearer and more radiant since I've been using this in my daily routine. In short, Malin + Goetz's Facial Moisturizer is a tremendous find.

What They Say: "Our oil-free, residue-free body moisturizer scientifically synthesizes natural vitamin b5 and soothing bergamot extract with absorbent fatty acids for performance. Naturally hydrates and ph balances all skin types, unlike traditionally greasy, pore-clogging oils and wax and silicone fillers. No slick or slippery false sense of moisturize. A nourishing treatment that eliminates wait-time for dressing. Natural fragrance and color. Easily integrated into daily maintenance and prevention regimen."
Jen's Experience:As soon as the air gets cooler and drier, my skin starts getting drier and I have to break out some serious moisturizer for my body. I like the shea butter moisturizers because they seem to last a really long time. What I don't like is how they don't absorb into my skin quickly (if at all) so my clothes seem to stick to my skin.
Well this year, there's a new moisturizer in my cabinet to cure my dryness and ashy legs: Malin + Goetz's incredible Vitamin B5 Body Moisturizer. After I smooth it on, I can feel my skin drinking it up. It makes my skin feel so soft and it calms the redness that often accompanies dry skin. And it really lasts! If I put it on before I go to work, when I undress at night, my skin is smooth with just a trace of the moisturizer itself protecting my skin.
And the scent is absolutely wonderful. Not overpowering, or sweet or cloying. Just a very clean smelling, citrus-y scent that will inspire you to wear it all over your body.

Malin + Goetz launched their product line in March of 2004 to rave reviews in a stunning array of publications. Matthew Malin (veteran of Kiehl's) and Andrew Goetz (longtime design professional) designed this unisex line of skin care products to use gentle ingredients that are effective for all skin types.
Their cleansers are amino-acid based, so they aren't drying like traditional detergent-based cleansers. By using fatty-acids and fatty alcohols, they've created moisturizers that are oil-free and residue-free. Whether you have dry or oily skin, or a combination of both, their skin care products will clean and moisturize gently and naturally.
In addition to their current window at Barney's New York, Malin + Goetz's facial scrub was most recently featured in the October 2005 issue of Oprah Magazine. But don't get the impression these products are just for the ladies. New York Times Magazine's fall fashion issue suggested buying these products for the man in your life, and back in June, their colognes were featured in Cargo (the male version of Lucky).
With their natural ingredients and botanical fragrances, it's easy to see why Malin + Goetz is getting so much great publicity. This is a line you'll want to try.
What They Say: "Scientifically synthesized to instantly restore and replenish, our hydrating lip gel is easily integrated for daily maintenance, prevention, and treatment of dry, irritated lips. Absorbent fatty acids, unlike traditional oils that are often licked off or wiped away, nourish upon impact while offering a continual layer of hydrating protection throughout the day and night. Fragrance, flavor and color free."
Jen's Experience: It was love at first wear. I have skipped the dating stage for this incredible lip product and moved directly to marriage: buying one for my purse and my desk and all my friends. Oh yes, this is a truly excellent product. When I wear it to bed, I wake up in the morning and my lips are pillow soft. I wear it on top of my lipstick and it not only keeps my lipstick from coming off, it gives a nice shine. It even plumps up my lips by eliminating the fine little lines. There's no smell and no taste at all (no burning and no stinging, either), just a long-lasting lip moisturizer that really moisturizes. This is one to stock up on for winter.
