The formulas are inspired by Ayurveda, an ancient mind-body-spirit healing system. Urban Juve uses no artificial ingredients and is cruelty free.
Urban Juve is teaming up with a New York based agency to create an interactive experience at its booth at ipsy Live to educate attendees by giving Ayurvedic-based skin assessments. Urban Juve will engage attendees by offering promotional codes for participating in interactive games at its booth.
