Mother Earth provides all that we need to healthily thrive inside and out. As humans on this planet, we must honor and support our Mother Earth as best as we can, in any way that we can.—This is our mantra here at Laneay’s Organics and something we don’t take lightly.
We take much care and due diligence in sourcing the most compatible and skin nourishing oils for all skin types that are ethically made and not negatively impactful on the planet. All carrier oils and essential oils we use are cold-pressed/steam distilled and USDA/Certified Organic as well as either locally sourced, or from like-minded earth friendly or climate pledge friendly companies whenever possible.
We aren’t just saying that we’re “all natural-organic-pure” (terms that are often thrown around in “natural” skincare products/companies then you read their entire ingredient list and that’s not the case) we truly are! We use Zero preservatives of any kind, Zero fillers, Zero detergents/emulsifiers, Zero alcohol, Zero added fragrances, and Zero pore clogging oils (this is why you won’t find any coconut oil in any of our facial skincare products). Every product is made with the highest quality ingredients and with the most genuine care and intention; packaged in dark UV shielding reusable/recyclable glass jars/bottles that will keep the delicate and vital nutrients in our skincare products protected and effective.
We prepare our skincare products in small batches or made to order to ensure optimal freshness, quality, and to support our zero waste mission. We offer free shipping anywhere within the US and in our continued effort to support the planet in any way we can, we partnered with Carbonfund.org. Our Carbonfree® Business Partnership neutralizes the carbon emissions associated with each customer shipment allowing for every Laneay’s Organics order to be shipped carbon free.
We provide a higher volume of product in comparison to other comparable skincare brands. It’s most common to see 0.5 oz-2 oz worth of volume in skincare for eye creams, face exfoliants or masks and 2-6oz for face toners.
Our exfoliating face scrubs and clay mask are in 4 oz jars giving you at the very minimum a month's worth of supply. Our toner is in an 8 oz glass bottle and our TLC Carrot eye cream is in a 1oz jar. Our purpose behind these larger amounts of product is to give our consumers better flexibility in their spending on the necessary skincare needed for routine use. We provide volume and high quality, truly natural skincare with transparent ingredients that gives a bang for your buck without sacrificing our high standards for clean skincare and your overall skin health.
We hope this has provided you much insight into our why and the immense amount of care and work that goes into every aspect of what we do here. The skincare industry is a highly saturated market and you can choose from so many. Love and intention is infused in all we do and we thank you for choosing us when you have thousands of options out there.
With deep gratitude to all of our L.O. Lovelies,
Laneay's Organics 🌱🤎

The most beneficial nutrients and antioxidants for optimal skin health are ones that break down and lose their effectiveness when exposed to light. The way your skincare is packaged directly impacts not only the product itself but also how it will benefit your face/skin--the whole purpose of you purchasing it in the first place.
Nutrients such as vitamin A-(natural retinol that supports the skin’s health and healing of it), vitamin C-(collagen booster), and vitamin E- (UV protection and anti-inflammatory), all need protection from light.
Dark colored jars or bottles such as amber or cobalt blue are UV protected which keep the delicate ingredients in your skincare stable, allowing the product to last longer, and keeping its potency intact due to it being shielded from exposure to any light. Skincare made with unrefined plant oils or essential oils especially need this protection.
In addition to your skincare’s packaging, how you use it is important too. It’s always best to use a clean applicator versus your fingers when applying your skincare; even with washing and drying hands before use, there is still a chance of bacteria entering your products. Bacteria could be on the applicator as well if not washed properly so just be careful of either and always wash your hands/applicators before applying your skincare.
So, when purchasing your moisturizers, serums, eye creams, and more...be sure to check that the skincare is in packaging that will protect and best preserve what is inside.
Happy (informative) skincare shopping, lovelies!🌱🤎
]]>Exfoliating is one of the most beneficial steps in a skincare routine that is commonly skipped.
Although our skin naturally sheds dead skin cells/cell turnover every 30 days or so, exfoliating is the method used to help speed up that process by buffing away/removing the dead skin cells that lay on the surface of our skin. This is done by using either a physical exfoliant that has some texture to it and used as a scrub or a chemical exfoliant which is made with an acid to exfoliate, such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid and so on. The natural cell turnover process slows down as we age and is slower on acne prone skin as well.
By exfoliating regularly, you are removing the layer of dead skin that causes dullness and clogged pores, and are then opening the pores and stimulating new skin cell growth which allows your other products such as moisturizers, serums, anti-aging creams etc to penetrate the skin more effectively and not be wasted by applying onto dead skin cells.
For all skin types, exfoliation gives the face/skin a renewed, refreshed and instant glow.
Adding this step to your skincare routine is the maintenance needed to keep your skin healthy while looking and feeling silky soft and smooth and aids in the anti-aging area as well.
Exfoliating is recommended to be done 2-3 times a week, every few days, as long as your skin can handle it. With chemical exfoliants being as fine as they are, you can use them more often...it really just comes down to how your skin handles it.
We hope this information on the importance of exfoliating as part of your regular skincare routine is helpful to you and that it encourages you to start doing it, if you've never done it before. 🥰 Give us a try and choose between our Refreshing Coffee Face scrub made with real coffee grounds or our Sweetly Gentle Brown Sugar face scrub with Raw Manuka Honey in it!🍯
Happy (gentle) exfoliating, lovelies!🌱🤎
