New product offerings include organic anti-aging products by Naturopathica certified by ECOCERT; marine-based vegan skincare by OSEA; cosmeceutical-grade botanicals by emerginC; handcrafted essential oils by BodyBliss; and pure mineral-based cosmetics by La Bella Donna. Guests also will enjoy stylish apparel by ecoSkin and Naturally Knotty, as well as nature-inspired home goods and gifts by Sprayology, Pacifica, Green Girl, and others.   

"Ten years ago, the eco-spa movement was just beginning, so to celebrate a decade is quite a milestone," said Nusta Founder, Elizabeth Snowdon Bonner.  "Since then, the industry has made tremendous 'green' advances in many areas, including natural skincare products that deliver real results.  We're thrilled to be introducing our next-generation treatment menu that was designed around completely natural and extremely effective product lines rich in active ingredients."

Nusta will continue its anniversary celebration with a new website, a May 28 media event, and additional events throughout the year for guests and members of the community who have supported the spa since its inception.  Allen Hunt, Nusta Spa's new General Manager, and Amy McDonald of Under a Tree Consulting, are the lead organizers of these anniversary activities.

"It's been an honor to work with Nusta.  Elizabeth paved the way and inspired me and other spas to be as sustainable as possible," said McDonald.  "And with the debut of its new results-oriented natural skincare therapies, Nusta will continue to set the gold standard for wellness spas worldwide."
