Food & Health (botanical)

We have already introduced you to organic product line Alba, but the real stand out is the Sugar Cane Body Polish. Yes, this recyclable tub of scrub sloughs away dull surface cells—but the kicker is its moisturizing elements, in the form of nutrient-rich honey and tropical nut oils. Most of the scrubs out there leave your skin dry and raw. But this one zaps away the driest of winters and leaves your skin silky-smooth. How? “Sugar cane grains gently exfoliate,” says the manufacturer, “while oils from kukui nut, macadamia, almond, and sunflower penetrate skin with deep healing emollients, vitamins and essential fatty acids.” Another bonus—it smells so good you might want to eat it. This treehugger has never found anything nearly as nice (but the results compare to a certain absurdly expensive, non organic gift that we are not promoting). ::Alba
