Being so caught up in face products as of late, I’ve completely neglected the other 90% of my skin. No doubt this is due to an attempt to cover and forget about every last bit of exposed skin these winter months. I can’t promise this mistake won’t happen again, but I do promise to point out some pretty spectacular, earth friendly body moisturizers from a few green cosmetic companies.
Suki Winter Skin Hydration Kit: The Ultimate 100% Natural Moisture Package
The Suki Winter Skin Hydration Kit fights winter dryness while providing all over skin nourishment with natural, clean and organic ingredients. This kit covers all the bases with a butter cream healing salve for hands, a velvet moisturizing cream for your body, and lip repair butter for smackers. And to tie everything together, well package, this hydration kit comes with a 100% organic cotton sateen travel case. My favorite thing about Suki though, besides their adorable travel cases, is their choice to pack their products in glass, not plastic, and cartons made of recycled stock using clean, vegetable based inks. Oh, and the part where none of their products sold through Beautorium are tested on animals.
Origins Precipitation: The Lazy Moisturizer
Origins Precipitation body lotion is for those who want to keep it simple with one hard-core lotion to use all over, all year round. I actually discovered this lotion at an Origins store one summer in Connecticut and continued to use it year round – yes, it combats northern NY winters quite well. One thing that keeps me from buying this all the time is the price, although it really does last longer than other lotions, and not just because it comes in a huge bottle. One pump is all you need for total body coverage. Plus, with an ingredients list of Sunflower and Soybean Oils, Ginseng, Aloe, Gentian Root, Clary Sage, Barley and Phellodendron Extracts, how could not want to slather this bad boy all over?
Melvita Argan Oil: The Hot Tub Goers
Argan Oil was recommended to a friend of mine after complaints of dry skin after hot tub dips. He was in serious need of some all over moisture and determined to get an earth friendly solution – Melvita Argan Oil fills both shoes. Melvita Argan Oil is rich in essential fatty acids that you can use on your face, body, hair or nails, but is also ideal in protecting skin and hair from premature ageing. Argan tree kernals, the source for Melvita Argan Oil, have been harvested for centuries for their many health and beauty uses. All of Melvita’s products are certified by ECOCERT, France’s leading organic certification organization. Sold through Beautorium, Melvita’s products are not tested on animals.
Go ahead, wrap yourself in one of these earth friendly body treats – who said you couldn’t have spa like skin all year round?
