Recycline Preserve 100% Recycled Plastic Razor

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

Finally, I don't have to feel guilty about a disposable razor! I've always been partial to disposable razors, but I hated having to throw the whole thing away. These razors are made of 100% plastic, and are even recyclable again in most communities (#5 plastic, but you can always mail them in if you can't find a recycling program that takes them). Recycline also has other recycled plastic products, including toothbrushes and disposable plates.

Burt's Bees Baby Bee Dusting Powder

2 people recommended this item

Description

Talc has been bombasted in the news for a number of years now. The tiny particulates may cause problems when inhaled, and cause issues if it enters into the female reproductive system. The answer? A talc-free body powder based on cornstarch (not just fo rbabies, you know!). And quite honestly, it smells heavenly and feels like powdered silk!!

Tom's of Maine Honeysuckle Rose Deodorant

First to recommend

Description

If you are searching for green products, you probably already know about the controversy surrounding the dangers of aluminum-containing chemicals used in anti-perspirants, which have been linked to increased danger of Alzheimer's Disease, among other problems arising from its use.

Tom's of Maine has developed this deodorant using the natural anti-bacterial properties of hops and witch hazel, as well as the benefits of chamomile and lemongrass. Body odor is not caused merely by sweating, but by bacterial growth in the damp areas produced by sweat, and so the herbs in this deodorant tackle that head-on.

I love the soft, floral scent of this deodorant, and the feeling that I am not putting my health in danger to smell good!

Aubrey Organics Lumessense Eye Creme

First to recommend

Description

If you are trying to go green, it only makes sense to think about the products you are using on your body, because whatever chemicals they may contain come into direct contact with your skin. Face and eye creams are notorious for containing numerous toxins, and so Aubrey's Lumessence Eye Cream is a refreshing change. Made of natural and organic ingredients, it is great at reducing fine lines and rejuvenating the delicate skin under the eyes.

Lily of the Desert Organic Aloe Juice (Fillet)

First to recommend

Description

OK, so we all know that aloe vera is great for sun-burned skin. Perhaps you know that Cleopatra applied aloe vera gel to her face every day to preserve her beauty. But did you know that aloe vera also has amazing healing properties when taken internally? In Japan aloe juice is very popular to drink (they usually mix it with grape juice), but not so many people here in the US realize how beneficial it can be.

What's so great about aloe vera? Aloe vera juice provides valuable polysaccharides that provide healing and anti-iflammatory properties, amino acids, folic acid, niacin, and many other vitamins. Aloe vera juice helps maintain regularity, is good for the intestinal tract, promotes healthy gums and lips (you can swish and gargle before you swallow), helps support normal muscle, joint and tissue functions, and can be applied topically for minor scrapes and irritations.

So how does it taste? Well, it's quite flavorless, just a tad tart, and this juice, which is the fillet, or inner leaf, has a very slimy, chunky gel-like consistency that's kinda cool. It's best when mixed with a juice like grape or cranberry, where it just adds a slight tartness to the existing flavor. An ancient secret to staying young and healthy, both on the inside and outside.

Aubrey Organics Honeysuckle Rose Conditioner

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

This is THE best conditioner I have ever used! In fact, the coordinating shampoo is awesome as well, but I think a good conditioner for my thick, tangly hair is harder to find. In addition, it is made by Aubrey Organics, one of my favorite natural, organic beauty products companies. Gentle, moisturizing, and smelling so lovely, I could not recommend this product more!

Aubrey Organics Rosa Mosqueta Hand & Body Lotion

This is THE most fabulous lotion I have ever used! It is soooooo moisturizing, with a very light, natural scent that is slightly floral, very natural smelling. The lotion is so creamy and soothing, it totally takes care of my winter-chapped skin.

Eco-Dent Original Mint DailyCare Baking Soda Toothpowder

First to recommend

Description

This stuff is so neat! It's a powder, not a paste, so you sprinkle a little bit on a moistened toothbrush, and then you're ready to go. Since you are not paying for added glycerin and water to make a paste, it is a more economical alternative. And, it's great for camping and travel.
