Improve Your Toothpaste
Here is some great info from The 1Dental.com Blog on a very common ingredient found in most toothpastes, as well as many beauty products. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate: This strange-sounding chemical is actually SOAP. Unfortunately, you would never consider brushing your teeth with soap, but billions of people do it every day because it’s a very [...]

Face First Into Fall
So I had this post (and title) in mind for the end of September, but time went so fast that here I am posting it with just three weeks left in the season! I figure if you’re a lover of fall like me, these products are great way to keep the season alive, not to [...]

HealthDesigns.com
I recently discovered this site called Health Designs and decided to place a rare online order. I have to say that I am loving this site now for two main reasons: (1) the wonderful selection of some of the best natural health and beauty products and (2) the awesome prices. I found so many of my [...]

Favorite Natural Moisturizers
It’s always important to keep our skin well hydrated, but now that the weather is turning cooler for many of is, it’s especially important (and challenging) to keep dry skin away. Here are a few of my absolute favorite body moisturizers. I now have my sister in love with the Shikai Gardenia lotion too. Are [...]

True Beauty Sleep
Want a pretty easy tip for decreasing wrinkles? Try sleeping on your back. I know, if you’re like me, sleeping on your stomach is sooooo comfortable. Unfortunately, this seemingly harmless preference technically speeds up the aging process – yikes! But how do you stop yourself ? (Reminder: you are asleep when you’re doing this) There [...]

Detoxifying Body Wash
How about a body wash that not only cleanses your skin, but also claims to detoxify your entire body?! I’m talking about Collective Wellbeing’s Charcoal Body Wash. This sulfate-free concoction is definitely unlike anything I’ve tried before…It is very dark grey color (hello charcoal!) and has a very gooey, thick consistency. I like the idea that a capful [...]

Sibu Beauty
In a previous post, I talked about the drinkable form of Sibu Beauty, which is not only an excellent beauty-enhancing product, but it actually tastes good too. Now after trying several of their topical products, I wanted to share my thoughts with you lovely ladies. Well first off, everything is paraben-free and cruelty-free. In addition, [...]

Skincando
I think Skincando might be one of the most unique and altruistic natural lines in existence right now. Founder, Sara Damelio’s search for answers to her own skin ailments led her to the formation of her first and most acclaimed product - Combat-Ready Balm. This balm not only graces the pages of women’s fashion magazines, but has also been regularly donated [...]

Lulu Organics
We all have that day (or days ) that we would rather not take the time and effort to wash and dry our hair, right? Well lucky for us ladies, we now actually have a good amount of products out there specifically created to assist us in our hair washing delay and no one would ever know we [...]

Tested on Actresses…
Never on Animals. That’s the cute catchphrase of Hamadi Organics , a hair care line made with 100% organic plant extracts and essential oils, which translates into incredible scents and results via the natural route, or should I say root. I’m so happy I discovered them because so far every product (including their hair wash, [...]

Better Sunscreens
While the mainstream has everyone covering themselves from head to toe, 24-7 to protect against the dangers of the sun, what about the dangers of what you’re slathering all over your largest organ (your skin)? Not all sunscreens were made equal. The problem with most of the sunscreens on the market is that they contain [...]

(MALIN+GOETZ)
Has anyone tried the peppermint shampoo by (MALIN + GOETZ)? If not, this has to be your next purchase, especially for a summertime shampoo. It is by far, the most minty and refreshing shampoo I have ever used! I just love the way it clarifies my scalp, but still moisturizes my hair.

Pai Skincare
Pai Skincare is another organic skin care line definitely worth trying. Sarah Brown founded this company after becoming fed up with unshakable skin allergies. When doctors insisted the only treatment was masking her issues with numerous medications, she decided to quit her job and develop a plant-based line free of chemicals – Pai was born! [...]

JUARA Skincare
I have two new scrubs that I am loving right now. Both are by JUARA Skincare, a company that fuses natural Indonesian skincare treatments with modern science. The first is their Rice Facial Scrub, which is rice-based (of course) and has such a clean, fresh scent. It reminds of something I used as a teenager, [...]

Fresh & Fruity Body Washes
With options like Red Raspberry, Green Apple & Ginger, Italian Red Grape, and Bulgarian Lavender, Desert Essence Organics Body Washes are the perfect springtime shower accessory! All of the varieties contain natural, botanical ingredients. They are not super moisturizing or oily (traits you would want in the winter months). Rather, they are nourishing yet refreshing [...]

A Natural Fragrance for Men & Women
Korres is known for their high quality natural formulations and they did not disappoint with their new line of fragrances. I’ve tried several natural scents before, but none of them have had the complexity and staying power (like conventional perfumes) the way this one does. The name – Pepper Jasmine Gaiac Wood Passion Fruit – [...]

Goodbye Scalp Issues
Alaffia makes one of the best natural shampoos and conditioners for people with scalp issues. Their Scalp Recovery shampoo and conditioner combine West African Neem oil (highly antifungal & antibacterial) with African Black Soap (cleansing) and Handcrafted Shea Butter (moisturizing & restorative) to encourage balanced oil production and to discourage flakiness. The scent of the [...]

Sure to be a Hit!
It’s funny how you can discover great beauty companies — sometimes it’s a really well-known one that you finally try out, maybe it’s a small blurb in a magazine, an unexpected find in a fun boutique, OR it’s your older sister in a small, New Hampshire town talking to the cousin of the company’s owners [...]

Bronzed FX Mineral Bronzing Powder
I am loving this bronzer by Cover FX. It goes on so evenly and the shade is really natural looking. I also love that it was developed with sensitive skin in mind (always a plus). It’s free of oil, fragrance, and parabens. Try it over foundation or by itself for a perfect, sun-kissed look!

Organic Essence
I recently tried Organic Essence for the first time. Their products are USDA certified organic and have some very unique biodegradable packaging. I now have 2 of their shea butter creams and as you can see from the picture, each one has this biodegradable “eco jar” as they call it. The Pure Organic Shea Cream [...]

Recently Added to the Lineup
A product that’s in CVS and has the word “organics” easily sparked my interest this past weekend. I was in the market for a new conditioner and this Renpure Organics was talking pure, organic, green tea, chamomile, soy protein and that was all before I even got to the ingredients list. I also somewhat enjoyed [...]
