All ginger. All natural. That’s all GO Ginger People does. With the first ginger treatment skin care line, GO offers 5 products that can be used on all skin types - Ginger Face Cleanser, Ginger Face Moisturizer, Ginger Face Serum, Ginger Eye Cream, and Ginger Balm. This unique line initially caught my attention with their clean modern packaging, bright logo, and the fact that everything was made out of ginger. It’s something different and I like different. I also like ginger (especially with my sushi), but I wondered if I would like it on my face and skin…lo and behold, I did! The scent is light and fresh, without being overwhelming, and quickly goes away so I don’t feel like I’m smelling ginger all day. The Ginger Face Cleanser has a gel-like consistency that foams up. A little goes a long way with this natural cleanser and it cleans very well without leaving the skin dry or tight. However, it didn’t end up keeping my extremely blemish-prone skin completely clear day-to-day. The Ginger Face Moisturizer is creamy, absorbs into the skin well and isn’t too rich. In the areas of my skin that tend to be more dry, I just use a little more of this natural face moisturizer. Overall, my face feels hydrated and doesn’t produce excess oil as the day progresses. The Ginger Face Serum and Eye Cream are my favorite products from this line! The Ginger Face Serum easily absorbs into the skin leaving it soft, smooth, and with a healthy glow. The Eye Cream absorbs easily as well and leaves the skin around my eyes soft and smooth. The Ginger Balm is great for the whole body helping to heal and smooth skin by reducing the irritated appearance of scars and blemishes. This natural body balm can also be used on cuticles, split ends, and to soothe sore muscles. GO is definitely energy for the skin. GO Ginger People!

Herbalists have used ginger for thousands of years to restore energy, stimulate circulation and warm the body. With GO, they are delighted to bring these powerful benefits to the skin.

But they needed the technical expertise to match their natural ingredient-based experience. In 2009, Swiss-born Yanne Clerc joined The Ginger People to lead the development of GO. Clerc graduated from New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology (where I attended also…loved my time at FIT!!!) with a degree in Fragrance and Cosmetics Marketing. Her education is coupled with extensive experience in sustainable packaging, ingredient sourcing and product development. Together, they created GO. Key to GO’s efficacy is organic ginger essential oil from Madagascar. This powerful, cornerstone ingredient is what puts all the actives of GO into play. By blending this pure oil with other nature-derived active ingredients, they bring you GO with pride and promise that GO will bring life, energy and ginger’s goodness to your skin.
