About OR: the alternative

Hi, I'm Lori!

I started crafting 100% natural skincare products to help me overcome my adult acne + dry skin. After a few trial recipes for oil facial cleansers, I was acne-free + OR: the alternative was born.

Customers often ask, “What does ‘O.R.’ stand for? What does it mean?” Simply put, OR is the alternative to harsh man-made chemicals we encounter in so many skin care + body care products.

SILKY SMOOTH, LASTS FOR HOURS!

Maggie Osborn

LOVE IT!

"I love this lip balm! So smooth. It just glides on. Very light. No heavy waxy feel. Bye, bye Blistex."

Bambi G Vargo

MY FAVORITE MOISTURIZER

"I absolutely love this cleanser! I use it in the morning after I shower and at night before going to bed. It keeps my face moisturized and glowing!"

Kendra

AFTER SHOWER MOISTURIZER

"I apply 2 squirts of this product to my damp skin right after the shower. It goes on smooth and replenishes my skin's natural oil. My skin is a combination of dry and oily on it's own so I don't have to apply too much. I especially enjoy that this product is made up of natural ingredients without chemicals. Thank you!"

Lisa

THIS STUFF WORKS!

"I used a combination of this product and the Radiance Facial Cleanser for the past year! It’s what saved my skin. I’ve struggled with acne forever and these products have completely cleared my skin up. Far better than any product I’ve used in the past!"
