domino & TreeHugger's Green List: Beauty
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 02.27.07
Today's peek at the TreeHugger/domino Green List is all about feeling good while looking good; the Beauty section of the list blends friendly ingredients with thoughtful packaging and essential scents. For your body, there's primrose-oil cream, shea butter and a megahydrating oil from a Greek company; when it comes to caring for your face, there's Juice Beauty's yummy green-apple skin polishing mask, organic rosehip oil to hydrate your dry complexion and an herbal recovery gel infused with organic herbs and a shot of antioxidants. For clean and green hair-washing, check out Mop's Mixed-greens condition, whose ingredients read more like a salad, with cucumber, artichoke, watercress and parsley tossed with organic olive oil and clarifying vinegar...mmm. There's also honey & hibiscus shampoo with John Masters Organics and awapuhi and kukui nut extracts in a formula by Ole Henriksen. In the bath, we liked Nature Girl's refreshing body wash, Kathleen Lewis' lemony mineral salts, a zingy, aromatherapeutic orange oil and some refreshing suds derived from organic flower petals. You can't go wrong with the whole line from Dr. Hauschka and Pangea Organics, though; for extra credit, check out the organic essentials cotton balls. Lots more to see in the slideshow at dominomag.com; open the print mag to pages 58-59 for the full list. ::domino's Green List: Beauty

Thank goodness for new natural products (you gotta check out Stella McCartney's new line). This is a really useful post and sure beats homemade remedies that often go wrong. I'll never forget the time my roommate and I tried to make moisturizing hair masks with eggs, bananas, olive oil and beer. It wasn't pretty. A week later, it STILL wasn't pretty. Cheers from Sara at www.marksdailyapple.com!
I totally agree.
I love the new natural & organic lines that are coming out at the moment. My favorite is www.anitagrant.com - very unique & cool skin and curly hair loving product line. Another fave is Ahava, love their bath salts keeps my skin so soft after a bath. BUT Anita Grant wins hands down. Love her organic Chocolate lip balm made with Green & Blacks dark chocolate.

I love that organic skin care and hair care is gaining popularity- and that a lot of the companies are using eco-friendly packaging!
John Masters Organics and Erbaviva are 2 of my fav lines for skin and haircare. I LOVE the Jasmine Deodorant! If you have little ones, they have also have a great product line for babies. Check them out at www.AppleBlossomOrganics.com Enjoy!
