La musique. Les bonbons. Le shopping. Everything seems lovelier en France, and les cosmètiques are no exception. Trouble is, they also tend to be hard on le pocketbook.

Entrez L'uvalla, the Cali-based, extrêmement naturelle beauty product line that's manufactured entirely in France. Named for co-founding husband and wife Yuval and Alla, the line is every bit as exacting as you'd expect from a fine, French création, but without the Champs-Élysées price tag.

Cosmébio certification means the organic line has yet stricter standards than Uncle Sam. That means no synthetic preservatives, no parabens, no GMOs, sodium laurel or laureth sulfate, PEG, coloring agents or PABA--plus it's vegan.

The essential oil-scented line's star product is the Anti-Wrinkle Eye/Lip Cream, which a friend calls "simply magnifique" at fading dark circles and fine lines.

That's speaking our language.
