Mother Earth couldn't care less about your healthy new glow, but it's nice to know that getting good skin doesn't require nasty chems.

Origin-al Sin

The Bite

Does true relaxation sometimes feel like forbidden fruit? Go ahead and pluck this baby off the tree of life: Origins's unique new store at Cherry Creek North. Look for green products exclusive to us CO peeps, like unscented High Elevation Hydration Cream, which made our mile-high-dry skin soft and dewy just like in a commercial, not greasy - and without nasty stuff like parabens, phthalates, and animal ingredients. Other not-so-guilty pleasures: an in-store Pekoe Sip House with organic, fair-trade tea and irresistible faux Ho Hos cupcakes from WaterCourse Foods Bakery, plus comfy sofas and free WiFi. The sunny, rustic space was locally sourced with reclaimed wood floors from a nearby barn, has furniture from local antique shops, and is 100% wind powered. Paradise.
