Dr. Hauschka Deodorant - Floral Mainstream deodorants are horrible, leave residue, and their aluminum content probably cause cancer. Great news... which is why I switched from Dove/Speedstick to Dr. Hauschka. When I tried typing 'Dr. Hauschka deodorant review' into google, very few hits popped up. I became frustrated and quickly...

Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme This was one of my first stepping stone products towards going fully green and organic with my care products. Originally a birthday gift, the simple jar reveals a whole different face to skin care. On application it releases a sweet almond scent that is both mouth watering and pleasant. Although...

Primavera Balancing Toning Mist I recently purchased this and have been using it for about 5-6 days. Personally I have never really used toners because they tighten up my skin too much or are purely sickening in smell. However, this was a pleasant surprise. I originally purchased it because I felt my pores were getting a bit too...

Pangea French Chamomile with Sweet Orange & Lavender I bought this recently and I have been using it for the past 5-6 days. This lotion is not as thick as lotions I have tried before in the past (but not to say that it is runny). For my dry skin type, I feel it is the right consistency because the material feels lighter. The smell is very pleasant as...

Badger SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen After hearing about all the garbage in mainstream sunscreens I through out my Banana Boat and Neutrogena for this Badger Mineral Sunscreen. To me the consistency is similar to Neutrogena. It is a thick white paste that goes on smooth. Granted its a bit harder to apply than Banana Boat, but I think...

Giovanni Salt Scrub, Cool Mint Lemonade I realize that Giovanni is not really as organic or green as they claim to me. But this came to me before I realized that, and this is one of the few giovanni products that I am reluctant to let go of. This is a really refreshing scrub for your 'body'. But I also use it on my face even though body...

Giovanni Grapefruit Sky Body Wash A load of crap. I am really upset with this body wash, which really should not happen. After some research I also discovered that the body wash was not actually really organic and did contain many of the mainstream chemicals that are not good for my skin. So the body wash comes in this really...

Juice Beauty Green Apple Cleansing Gel Hrm. I don't have a really interesting opinion for this gel. I've used it for the past 8-9 days and it hasn't been bad and it hasn't been good. My friend originally bought this from Sephora for around $27. She gave it to me because she felt it was really weird. And I agree. Although it is called a...

Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream I had to splurge on this one because it smelled so shockingly like real roses. Damask roses, even. And best of all, it is so natural and good for my body. I don't have to worry about toxic ingredients or preservatives. But for around $42 the little container of 1 oz is definitely considered a total...

Dessert Essence Jojoba Oil Review AMAZING. There is so much to say about this product. Amazing actually doesn't quite cut it. Previous to my encounter with Dessert Essence's 100% Natural Jojoba Oil, my skin was always dry, flaky, and peeling. When I went in to find foundation shades, I was always embarassed because the foundation...
