Together these blend into a concentrated, healing, all-purpose balm rich in Omega 3 and 6, natural super-emollients, vitamins and antioxidants.
I can tell you, I have used this on a scar I have on my knee, on my cuticles, the heels of …read more

On Friday, February 6, I attended the “Green Music Event” held at the Mercury Hotel in Korea Town to celebrate the Grammys.  I was able to try all kinds of organic foods, drinks and beauty products as well as meet some interesting people.
There was so much to see and try my head was spinning.  By the time I left my bag was full of the most amazing environmentally friendly & healthy items.
I met a young man there named Trent Horinek who started his own company a few years ago using recyclable products to make all natural cleaners.  It’s all in …read more

In keeping with my list of beauty products going green and leaving out harsh chemicals and parabens, Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara is the latest to make the list. If the packaging doesn’t sell you, the mascara will. With a 100 percent natural lash plumping formula that contains the purest ingredients, and provides 5 times the lash boosting for length, volume, and definition. Who doesn’t want that?
I have a feeling we are going to see a lot more beauty products that focus on healthy ingredients, not only good for you, but good for the environment too.
