Lily Farm Fresh Oil Free Skin Conditioning Serum Preserves the Skin of the Highly Youthful and Undeniably Beautiful Women of Whom You Know!
Lily's very first product was the oil-free Skin Conditioning Serum. This is a "magical blend" of 19 herbs that puts botanicals to work on, and into your skin. Use it after cleansing and toning, under your moisturizer, on the entire face and neck. Twice a day is the recommended application, but I use it throughout the day for a skin pick-me-up. The list of natural ingredients is astounding, and all their different jobs bring the best of organics straight to the face. The 2 oz. bottle has a dispenser on it: push it two or three times for just the right amount. Your face will love it, and respond in a very happy manner. Stay organic inside and out, with Lily. She makes it easy!
My skin tends to be a tad bit oily, shh don't tell anyone and finding the right products to use isn't always easy. Lily Farm Fresh Skin Care has come to the rescue with their fantastic line of cruelty free products. I can't get enough of their Oil Free Skin Conditioning Serum. This product is very similar to a light moisturizer and is used in the same fashion. After cleansing and toning your face, apply this product. Not only does Lily Farm Fresh Oil Free Skin Conditioning Serum add the right amount of moisture to my face it also conditions the skin. This helps promote healing and stimulates cell proliferation. I are hooked on Lily Farm Fresh Skin Care.
Using a serum after cleansing is a step I usually always forget to do. I know it's important, but I never do it. I found the more I used the Oil Free Skin Conditioning Serum by Lily Farm Fresh Skin Care, it felt as if my skin could breathe. It felt more clean than it had in a long time. Plus, I found it helped with the redness in my cheeks and chin. I could tell a difference after the first use. I will never do without this step again.
I do not usually use serums because they are usually heavy and feel greasy on the skin. This skin conditioning serum changed my mind. It is oil free, which I love! This serum goes on easily and smoothly and soaks into your skin quickly. It makes my skin feel great. I can't imagine not using this serum everyday. I definitely recommend this product to anyone.

Welcome to Lily Organics, soon to be Lily Farm Fresh Skin Care, the first and only skin care company on earth to become USDA Certified Organic. Lily has been operating for the past 24 years out of the passion of founder, formulator and CEO Lily Morgan. Lily Organics grows its own ingredients on a USDA Certified Organic farm, and makes fresh products weekly in an onsite, FDA inspected lab. Lily Organics is now working with the U.S.D.A. to certify its first product (Kukui Facial Oil) as U.S.D.A. Organic. This involves inspections of the Lily Organics lab to observe organic practices.
The Lily Organics Story,
USDA certified Organic Grower, Philanthropist, Adoptive Mother, Entrepreneur, and World Traveler
Lily Organics was founded in 1986 by Lily Morgan. A 7th plus generation American grower, she grew up with her Father’s apple orchard. As a kid her only goal was to get off her Dad’s farm and travel the world.
Lily dropped out of high school and moved to Colorado at 16 years old. “I arrived here with $132.00 and a pair of Levi’s.” She attended Emily Griffith Opportunity School and obtained her High School Diploma. After many minimum wage jobs, including a year as a ski bum living in Vail, living in the dorm in the basement of the Holiday Inn, she decided her parents were right and college was a good idea.
She began school at Metro State College, and four years later, received a Bachelors’ of Science Degree. In 1981 she founded the Association for Senior Citizens in Denver. For 28 years she built that organization to help Denver’s neediest and poorest elder citizens. When the organization wanted to buy a building, Lily was turned down by 13 banks, so she put up her own house as collateral. By the time she left, it had nearly two million dollars in assets, had helped over one million people!
Several years after founding the Association for Senior Citizens, she new she did not have the high level administrative skills to take the organization to the level it deserved, so she enrolled in the University of Colorado and after 7 years of night school obtained her Masters Degree in Public Administration. She successfully raised money from every major foundation in Colorado, including Gates, Coors, and Daniels Foundation, along with millions from private donors, collectively raising tens of millions of dollars.
In 1986 she founded Lily Organics, known then as Lily of Colorado. It was the first Organic skin care company in Colorado. “I had been working for years to clear up my skin that was so bad; I didn’t get invited to the prom in High School. I knew as a teenager all the chemical products did not work, if they had, I would have had clear skin.”
When I started the company, there wasn’t internet or any information available on where to get ingredients. I had to start growing many ingredients because organic ingredients were not available. It was a labor of love. I started selling to the first Wild Oats store in 1986 and we were in the second Vitamin Cottage.
I had a full time job and had to do everything on the weekends and at night. No trust fund, no venture capitalists, no rich husband, and since I have been supporting myself since I was 16, I had to work every day and save every nickel so I could fund the company. Because we started with no capital, and every dollar had to be reinvested to buy lab equipment, build a building, buy a farm, tractors, etc. the company did not show a profit for the first 10 years, and even then the company did not show a profit regularly.
All along Lily fulfilled her passion for travel, but at the age of 40, her and her brother John, decided they had worked hard and long enough, and thought they would attend the world’s top ten parties, and off they went to Oktoberfest in Munich, Running of the bulls in Pamplona, Sturgis and Daytona Bike weeks, St. Patty’s Day in Dublin, Madi gra in New Orleans, and of course, the Grand Daddy of them all, Carnival in Rio de Janiero!
In 2002 she decided there were way too many children waiting to be adopted in Colorado, and adopted a nine year old boy. He thrived on the farm, with motorcycles and his own private tractor.
She attended Harvard Business School Executive training in 2004.
She had founded the Tibetan Blues Bash where she raised money for Tibetans, and the company, still today, and for over 10 years, supports 5 Tibetans per month without fail, whether the company makes money or not.
“I knew in the hay day of venture capitalists, and the dot coms, that I was really doing things the slow and old fashion way, but I also knew the company, would not only survive, but succeed, I knew it all along the way. Kind comments and calls from customers telling me how much they loved my products, and they begged me to never stop, I swore to them I wouldn’t, and I have kept my promise.”
One call from a customer Lily recalls with serious thought. “It was one of the most challenging times of my life, Lily continues, My parents had been in a fatal car accident, my Dad had died and my Mom was in the hospital, the doctors not sure she would survive. The FDA had called a couple days before the accident and were scheduled to come out for an inspection. I had to call and postpone the FDA, because I had to go to my Mom who was in a hospital in Michigan. I had to miss my Dad’s funeral in Maryland, because I had to stay with my Mom in the hospital, after a few weeks my Mom was going to be OK, so I had to get home and deal with the FDA.
Three agents showed up and were in my lab for the entire day. When they were preparing to leave, one said to me, ‘do you want to make these changes or do you want to just build a new building?’ I was devastated. The FDA laws require slopping floors, pretty hard to do in an existing building. The FDA said they would give me 3 months to build the building, so I did.
During all this craziness, a customer had called, and I could barely answer the phone, she asked me what was wrong and not too proud to share my burden, I did, and she told me, ‘Lily, you will get through this, this too shall pass, and you and your company are going to make it.’ That was all I needed to hear.”
Next year, Lily Organics will celebrate their 25 year anniversary! Her plans include, building a farm factory store on 10 acres of I-76 frontage near Hudson, Colorado, about 35 minutes from Denver. “We are going to be an Agri-tourism destination. People can stop on the interstate for a tour or come up from Denver for the afternoon.” She plans on having a small event/class center to hold classes on herbs, yoga, and be available for weddings, etc. People want a connection to Mother Nature and we are going to provide it for them.”
