“At Great Jones Spa we are always looking for the best, healthiest ingredients in products to use professionally and at retail. These products need to be results driven and we are always looking for companies that have the same holistic values that we have here at the spa.

Several years ago, when I met Vered, I saw these qualities in her and was instantly intrigued. As an esthetician, I was so impressed by how she cared for her own clients, whereby, her service didn't’t end after the hour treatment; she went above and beyond in recommending to her clients how they take care of themselves at home, through nutrition, skin care, and exercise.

When Vered introduced her line, first, what was most interesting to me was the different scents in her products and how they affect the psyche. Secondly, the performance of the products for acne, inflamed, and aging skin were truly amazing. Her attention to detail in crafting this line is superb.

When you meet Vered, inhale her handcrafted organic products, and apply them onto your skin you will fall in love!”

"Having been in the beauty industry for 20 years as a make up artist, I have come across many products. I absolutely love beauty products, its been one of those many advantages i have had in my profession that products are given to me to try out.

I have known Vered for several years and I was very excited to say the least when she created her own line. Before even trying any of her products i knew it would be special. Her dedication to live a life as healthy as possible,but yet give women or men for that matter, a chance to feel beautiful and sexy was very appealing.

I am now addicted ! my skin has improved tremendously, and as much as I was afraid to put oil onto my skin,I now rely on it. Not only the quality and the amazing properties the products holds...it smells fantastic ! I highly recommend this for any of my clients."

"Using Vered Organic Botanicals is like relishing a fresh organic peach; you just can't believe that something so natural and uncomplicated and can be so luxurious. It's just incredible how Vered is able to create such effective skin care that is so close to the earth. She pours herself into the products and they are as revitalizing and pure as she is."

– Virginia Stevenson

"Exquisite, refreshing and delicious...also healing."

"My skin hit an all time low last winter. I tried several treatments and products hoping they'd help, but my unsuccessful attempts just left me feeling helpless. I was about to give up, but just then a major tv network contacted me asking to do a wonderful feature on me. Just to put this in perspective, I almost turned this down because I was so embarrassed about my skin. I frantically researched skin products in hopes of finding a miracle. It was then that I found Vered's products. I started using them and I was truly in shock by the results that I not only saw, but felt immediately! And not just me, everyone freaked out with what they saw. And smelled! Orgasm in a bottle... That's all I have to say! Needless to say, I was able to shoot the program immediately, and my skin has been practically flawless ever since! I honestly still can't believe what I see when I look in the mirror, bare skin and all! Vered's products truly changed my life and I'm beyond grateful (and addicted!). Thank you!"

"I have been using the anti-aging oil and the herbal oil toner, there seems to be a clarity to my face. That somehow resembles 'falling in love' although there is no one in sight! I like it... people are actually commenting on my skin without any make up! Now if it can find a man... I would patent it!"

"As a woman in my 30s that lives in a sun kissed country and never misses an opportunity to worship its rays, I began to see the souvenirs all this tanning was leaving on my skin. It’s as if all those carefree years in a bikini where suddenly marking their territory with their own little flags in the form of wrinkles, sun spots, freckles, beauty marks (the list goes on).

What was I to do, when every brief encounter I had with various recommended creams, lotions and potions left me feeling like most speedy affairs: disappointed, empty and unsatisfied! Thankfully a talented woman I have long admired and believed in came to my rescue, by deciding to create her own line of unique products, named after her ‘Vered’.

Words printed on a page or uploaded on a site will not do justice to the world of smells and textures Vered has managed to enclose in her elegant packaging. Her anti-aging oil, was the declaration of war on marks of time that I had been looking for. It glided smoothly on my skin and began the work of canceling all the sleep deprivation, junk food and generally poor lifestyle I’d inflicted on my skin over the years. Her signature scent was simply…sexy. The aroma from the small bottle transported me to warmth, sensuality and all things feminine.

I then realized that it’s not coincidental that these oils melt and felt so good, Vered has been an expert facialist for years and I'm sure working with all those other products, she longed for the day when she would combine her years of knowledge and experience into her own line that would satisfy her perfectionist high standards. While I was doing everything I could do damage my skin, she was studying and practicing the art of green herbalism: mixing essential oils, with different pure minerals, vegetable, fruit, and plant extracts that provide the body and mind with a much needed, highly therapeutic boost that I'm sure will have just that effect on you when you have the pleasure of trying them."

Vered has always been a wealth of great information in regards to my skin and health. She kept my skin glowing through my pregnancy with her facials and essential oils that I then used at home. I love all of her products, and would recommend them to anyone!

I had what was literally the most effective facial of my life. Vered, the sensational facialist has been performing facial treatments for 18 years. Growing up in Israel, she learned the basics, and has gradually become true guru, an expert in the field. Vered, began my facial by paying very close attention to my skin and it’s needs. She discussed diet and lifestyle with me and offered her experience and suggestions. I never felt like Vered was at all condescending – something I have often found with other facialists who say things like “Your skin is damaged” Or “You wear the wrong makeup”. She also clearly knew her trade, and while she steamed, exfoliated, masked, and performed extractions, I could relax, knowing that I was in good hands. This was an exceptionally relaxing treatment, I even found myself drifting off to sleep at one point. However, to me the real test of a good facial is the effect on my skin days after. I was literally glowing and my pores were so clean and skin-tone so bright that I got compliments for days, as well as girlfriends asking where I had gotten such a fabulous facial.

My dewy-faced facialist Vered (Hebrew for rose) – who rather resembles a former Miss Universe – leads me back to the treatment area, a dark space about the size of well, an East Village room (or, to the rest of the country, a walk in closet). As I recline to the sounds of Portishead (yessss! Anything but Pure Moods), she inspects my face. “ Your breathing is shallow”, Vered says grimly, “Your very stressed out”. This, of course, stresses me out even more – until my face is massaged with a seemingly endless sequence of calming aromatic potions. Afterwards, my zoned out, baby-ass-faced self is so convinced of the healing power of organics I speed walked to the nearest health food store and frenziedly buy vitamins and raw snacks. And thus begins the next phase of my experiment: trying to have organic skin for a week. This means none of my usual arsenal of products designed for skin two decades older than mine, or my beloved contraband Anthelios sunscreen from Europe. (“The chemicals in sunscreen cause cancer, Vered claims ”). I have a stressful week, I eat lots of pizza, and I don’t feel very organic. I head to the Mercury lounge to see a band play. With just one problem: I’ve forgotten my ID. The notoriously bulldog-tough door-women takes one look at me: and “ There’s no way your getting in, missy,” she snarls. “ You look 12.” Mission accomplished.

Hi Vered,

Now, why on earth would women spend on a day & night cream when they can get a day night face oil: http://bit.ly/wZ9Fvb.

Really, combination skins can choose either I say...

But, for me, you were right – I do have expensive taste as the anti-aging oil has won me over. Again, it’s your Rosewood, Jasmine, Vanilla that steals the scented heart...love these deeper blends...

Happy Friday!

And, thank you, really again for my Rosewood Neroli oil...I’m so in love with its warmth...it’s my new fave!

Cheers,
