Over the years their teams of herbal experts, dental health ...

Being eco-friendly is about choices. Choices like what products we buy, how we use our gardens and what kind of diet we consume. One of these choices is making the informed decision to avoid using toxic or harmful chemicals which could be absorbed by the body. When adopting an eco-friendly way of living most people immediately switch out the toxic household cleaners for greener alternatives yet continue to soak their skin in traditional chemical toiletries like Shampoos, conditioners, and other hair care products.
The last few years though has seen ...
We all know that to lead a more sustainable and eco-friendly life we should be eliminating chemicals from our surroundings, including our diet, toiletries and household cleaners. One great way to do that is to switch to natural, organic products which also comply to fair trade practices.

Dr Bronners' Magic Soaps was founded in 1948 and began manufacturing it's now infamous liquid Peppermint soap, 60 years on the company is still going strong despite the death of it's eccentric founder, and is manufacturing more natural and organic products than ever and ...
Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink! Well if like me you are living in Southern California you'll know that we are in a water crisis. Over the last couple of seasons we've had to mandatory reduce our water consumption, in some places up to 15% of our normal water use. Living an eco-friendly lifestyle already this was no easy feet, but then our overall unit reduction was also less as we use less water than the "average" household. As such we've become masters of the "5 Minute Shower". Lunching with girlfriends, or chatting with women in the check-stand line ...
Any woman embarking on an eco-friendly lifestyle should research how many toxic chemicals they are around each and every single day. Whether eating chemicals in food, from plastic containers or something as simple as the creams and lotions we use on our skin. As women we're told to cleanse, tone and moisturize. To look our best, and if we want to prevent premature skin aging then get a moisturizer with an SPF but all these things conventionally contain toxic chemicals that could do us more harm than good. How about switching to more natural products instead?

Brrrr. With those biting winds and with the heat running non-stop in your home, car, work, and in stores your lips are probably feeling the effects. Okay, I'm in San Diego so it's not cold at the moment but it is still dry. I have tried so many eco-friendly lip glosses, balms, moisturizers, and salves and finally had to get to the bottom of why some of them haven't worked for me.
Most lip balms contain a base of petroleum jelly which is a nonrenewable resource and is the cause of irritation in many people. WHen ...

Have you been on a quest to find the best natural deodorant for you that does not contain parabens or aluminum? My goal has been to find products made with natural ingredients, that are not tested on animals, and that make me feel like I am making a difference.
Aluminum is the ingredient in antiperspirants and deodorants that stops you from sweating – or glistening if you’re a lady (as my mother used to say). It’s very good at what it does so finding a product that has to figure out how to stop us from sweating naturally is difficult and in my opinion has not yet been mastered. So, there comes a ...
