Living naturally is, for a num- ber of wise and healthy reasons, a mainstream phenomenon, and it's a business. From food to clothing and more, consumers are demanding the products they use be as natural as possible. The notion of buying power meshed with the power to con- serve Mother Earth and connect with something pure is reaching into skin care and makeup. According to a 2013 report from Transparency Market Research, a market intelligence company based in Albany, N.Y., that specializes in global busi- ness information, the worldwide demand for organic personal care products will reach $13.2 billion by the end of 2018. Natural vs. organic Money talks. In the case of nat- ural skin care, it speaks to a truth Marley Bickler knows well. Bickler is an esthetician with Anton's Salon and Medical Spa in Delafield, at 2566 Sun Valley Dr. Anton's also operates a location at 1231 George Towne Dr. in Pewau- kee. Bickler has worked as an esthetician for eight years, and has been at Anton's for the last two and one-half. Bickler is quick to point out that most customers might be looking for natural skin care products, as opposed to organic skin care prod- ucts. Natural skin care products are plant-based, and might be gluten- free or paraben-free. Parabens are preservatives sometimes used in cosmetics and pharmaceutical products. Organic skin care products might contain live cultures, and consist of things typically found in one's home, such as oatmeal, honey or yogurt. "There are organic products on the market, but you have to keep them refrigerated, and they have a very short shelf life," Bickler said. The trend toward natural or organic cosmetics is relatively new, Bickler said. "It's been fairly recent – within the last couple of years, when the gluten-free and organic lifestyle took a whirlwind on society," Bickler said. The idea of using natural or organic cosmetics mirrors the conventional thinking that drives the use of such products. "By using more natural or plant-based products, your skin responds more quickly to the product," Bickler said. "Your skin knows how to reach to those things." Skin deep Even if one uses natural or organic cosmetics, a plan must be developed specifically for an indi- vidual's skin. "I've seen impressive results with natural and non-natural products," Bickler said. "It really just depends on the person. Noth- ing is cookie cutter – you have to make a successful regimen for every person." A number of factors also come into play when developing an indi- vidual's skin care regimen. Every individual brings their own set of strengths and weaknesses. "We try to take everything into account and make sure they're getting the best results with what we can offer them," Bickler said. The trend toward natural per- sonal care products also recently reached the Wisconsin Legisla- ture. On March 17, the Senate passed a bill to ban microbeads. The bill will prohibit making personal care products with microbeads in 2018 and ban sales in 2019. New York and Illinois already ban microbeads. Microbeads are a plastic exfo- liant found in personal care prod- ucts such as soap, toothpaste and more. The small, plastic bits are moving through wastewater treat- ment plants and into key bodies of water, such as Lake Michigan, by the tons. Comfortable in your own skin Organic skin care products bring beauty the natural way Rock From Page 1A Other students, like senior Kelly Kempen, don't play an instrument or claim to be singers, but just love music. "I'm just really passionate about music and I think it's good to spread it," she said. Showcasing and collaborating Callies said his guiding idea for the group was simply to offer a space for students to rally around their passion and perform with each other. "It was just to get students who play music together and see what might happen from that — what would organically come from it," he said. The club has gathered periodically throughout the year for "showcases" — an opportunity for the musicians to share what they have been working on and collaborate with one another. Callies has been impressed by the caliber of their playing. "I've had some of these kids in class and they're cool — I like working with them," he said. "And then they came in here and played and it was like 'Wow, you're really talented."' Students were excited when a recent showcase naturally led way to a seven-person improv jam session. Senior Christian Memmo said he has particu- larly enjoyed improvising with other students in the group. "With improv, depending on your mood, it feels a lot more organic to just pick up a riff and play anything and maybe develop a song out of that," he said. "It's more original so you feel more of a sentimental attachment to it." Memmo said the club has stretched him in new ways. He is used to playing in a jazz trio, but he's now trying his hand at the folk rock genre. For other students, it's their first time playing in a band. Senior Anthony Halloran plays guitar and has dabbled in DJing and producing music, but hasn't performed with others before. "It's a whole environment that I'm not used to because I've never played in a band before," he said. "It's a whole different scene." Benefit show The students are now preparing to put their skills on display in an upcoming benefit concert. The club is hosting a Rock for Relay show, with proceeds going toward the Relay for Life. Callies' band, Fat Andy, will perform at the show with the help of a few students. Other club members will play original songs and covers. Phattaphone will be among the performers. And while, he said, nerves are sure to hit him at some point, he knows the excitement of perform- ing for a live audience will outweigh his anxiety. "When you go up on stage, no matter how skilled a performer you are, it's such an amazing feeling to play and see the crowd reaction," he said. "Then you walk off stage and have that moment where you just think 'What just hap- pened?' and you realize it was a pretty good per- formance." The concert will be held April 15 at 6:30 p.m. in Pewaukee High School's auditorium. Tickets cost $10 and proceeds will benefit the American Can- cer Society.
