For some reason, I haven’t been checking out Beauty.com. Seems pretty basic right? You write about beauty and/or style, you look at Beauty.com.  Duh.  Oops…
So, today I did look and I found this great set from Origins. It’s called  Into the Green and it’s 4 products made with a combination of organic ingredients, essential fatty acids, and vitamins. Good for you stuff for more beautiful skin. 
Included in the Origins Into the Green Set:
Origins Organics™ Cleansing Body Bar (3.4 oz / 100 g). Made almost completely with Organic ingredients – 90% to be exact. Contains Organic Coconut Oil and Pure Organic Palm …read more

Have you heard of the Environmental Working Group? They are a non-profit organization that research products that may threaten our health and the environment.
They recently found that a certain cancer-causing chemical 1,4-dioxane, is used by many companies in many cosmetic products. You will notice this chemical by other names, such as dioxane, diethylene dioxide, 1,4-diethylene dioxide, diethylene ether, glycol ethylene ether, dioxane-1,4, tetrahydro-p-dioxin, tetrahydro-1,4-dioxin.
The description of 1,4-dioxane from Wikipedia: 1,4-Dioxane is primarily used in solvent applications for the manufacturing sector; however, it is also found in fumigants and automotive coolant. Additionally, the chemical is also used as a foaming agent …read more

Have you seen the cutest website from Miss Inky – where the tagline is Beauty on a Mission? Yes, Inky Loves Nature. Who says that natural cannot be funky and fun.
Some of my lemmings from the site:
Warrior Queen Cleanser – made with African Black Soap
Magical Melanin Moisturizer – a natural sun protection
Self Love Body Scrub – says to be so thick it is scoopable
There is an Inky Dinks sample pack available too, for just $17. Inside the sack are 12 samples including something in each of the 7 scents. Maybe this is what I should try first. Hmmm.

Oops – I meant to say Kiss My Face . Really, I am looking to try some great new products from Kiss My Face.
Kiss My Face was launched in a farmers feed-supply store in upstate New York 25 years ago. It has grown way beyond the pure olive-oil bar soap (which is to this day a top seller) it originally began with.
The line is famous for its Certified Organic Aloe Vera Toothpaste, Sugar Reef Organic Body Scrub and Lavender & Shea Moisture Shave. I don’t know what I should try.
It’s top sellers:
Sun Screen SPF18 with Oat Protein Complex
Sun Spray …read more

I just read something that Clarins (the French Cosmetic company) is going Organic? I cannot find out any more information on this except for the fact that they are joining in a venture with Kibio, a direct selling brand.
I wonder if they are making a division of Clarins Organic, or will all of their products be certified Organic now? Or are they creating a new line all together? I know that they use a lot of herbal and plant-based ingredients, but they will need to do more to make sure they are Organic.
If any one has the scoop, please do …read more

With all of the liquid soaps, gels, foams, and washes, I sometimes forget how much I love a simple bar of soap. I have been using a few wonderful soap bars – but they are not simple in the least. I am speaking of Pangea Organics Bar Soaps.
Each of Pangea Organic bars of soap is cold processed by hand, and custom blended with some of the best ingredients there are. And the cold process means that the benefits of such wonderful ingredients are not wasted by being boiled off.
There are 12 different bars to choose from:
AUSTRALIAN TEA TREE & LAVENDER
PYRENEES …read more

You know how I hate Mineral Oil? I needed to know why, so I asked the Beauty Brains and they came up with an amazing 5-point answer for me. Please tell me what you think.
Also, you know what else they said? That products that claim to not be tested on animals may not be tested by animals by the particular company that claims not to have tested them, but the raw ingredients themselves must be tested on animals, that’s the only way they are deemed safe. So sorry, Marley, all products are tested on animals. According to a cosmetic …read more
