Pure Earth Beauty, Mill Valley

Oshalla Diana Marcus is passionate about natural treatments. A dancer, yoga instructor, and holistic fitness trainer, she founded Pure Earth Beauty to spread the word about alternative aesthetics. Here, colorists eschew chemicals and artificial rainbows in favor of plant-based dyes made from henna, buxus, and indigo, conditioning hair as they impart it with eye-catching hues. Aestheticians nourish skin with clay and herbs, and naturally derived polishes ensure fume-free manicures. And to share the spirit of Marcus’ philosophy, workshops and beauty retreats teach fellow professionals how to adopt these green techniques.
