Whole Foods Market kicks off its inaugural “Beauty Week,” March

Body departments will host events, classes, demonstrations and

selection of quality personal care products and cosmetics that
support healthy people and a healthy planet.

“Our beauty department is really growing at Whole Foods Market
and we’re excited to spotlight new products and showcase customer
favorites in our stores this week,” said Maren Giuliano, executive
global Whole Body coordinator.
During “Beauty Week,” all Whole Foods Market locations will
offer a limited edition “Hello, Beauty!” bag for $18 (valued at
$60), beginning Saturday, March 21, at 10 a.m. local time. Bags are
made with 100 percent cotton recycled saris from RIJI Green, a
business committed to ending human trafficking. Each beauty bag is
filled with six exclusive product samples, including Derma E
Microdermabrasion Scrub, Acure Cell Stimulating Facial Mask,
Giovanni 2chic Ultra Repair Shampoo, Pacifica Eye Shadow Duo or
Lipstick, Trilogy Vital Moisturizing Cream and Gabriel Mascara,
plus $5 in beauty coupons.
From March 20 to 22, shoppers can also save 25 percent on all
facial care items at Whole Foods Market.
“One thing that really sets us apart in the beauty industry is
our standards,” Giuliano said. “Our shoppers know and trust us
because we have baseline standards that prohibit 50 ingredients in
the products we sell, along with our top-tier standards, called
Premium Body Care. When we first launched our premium standards in
2008, we had about 400 products that were certified—now we have
more than 4,000.”
Whole Foods Market has been lauded for its beauty department
standards over the years. In 2012, the company was named “the
leading national retailer” in personal care product safety by the
Campaign for Safe Cosmetics. The grocer was also named runner-up in
the Sustainable Beauty Awards’ “Sustainable Leadership” category in
2014. Last month, Giuliano was named one of the “50 Most Powerful
Women in Beauty” by Women’s Wear Daily.
The retailer also set its own standards for organic labeling on
personal care products, as there are no mandatory government
standards for the “organic” label claim on body care products.
