Products: Beauty








We know that this is one area that can be really overwhelming when it comes to making the healthiest decision! It's surprising to many people just how many nasty ingredients are snuck into our skin care and do you really want to be absorbing additional toxins? If its important to you the quality of food you are putting into your body, it should be equally important what you are putting on to your body!
.

EWG.org is thorough cosmetic data base that we often rely on. You can get great information for what ingredients to watch out for and also to see a rating of almost ANY product! They make it easy to see how much of the ingredients are toxic, what products are safe and the simple explanation for the ingredients we can't even pronounce!
.



Honest Beauty is the new comer on the makeup and skincare scene, so we don't have a ton of experience with Jessica Alba's product quite yet. We can say we are fans of her other baby and home products. From her mission to the ingredients she uses and keeps out of her products...we give this line the green light! These products are currently only available online.
.




The Honest Company continues to impress us with each product they put out! From lotion to deodorants, we have found these products to be great! Although they are sold as baby products, we use them on the whole family! While its easiest to order these products online, some are available at Target and Whole Foods.
.






Weleda has quite a history of developing products to heal the whole body. We are fans of their baby products, deodorants, lotions and toothpaste! They can easily be found at Wegmans and Whole Foods.
.







Dr.Bonner's has a famous packaging that is hard to miss! They have a clean castor oil soap that can be used as shampoo, body wash and even for cleaning. You can find this at Whole Foods.
.




Tarte is a amazing high end makeup line that we have fallen in love with. Their products are free of parabens, mineral oil or sulfates. This product is found at Sephora.
.












Dr. Hauschka is a high quality line of skincare and makeup. Their products come with a hefty price tag but you can trust the ingredients, hands down. Their products can be found at Whole Foods and Wegmans.
.
Josie Maran we are whole heartedly in love with her line! From her rich, pure argan oil to her gentle cosmetics, these products do not disappoint!
