Sustainable Beauty
Today we’re diving into the world of community-minded beauty products. Whether made with good-for-you ingredients or designed with a global vision in mind, there is a better choice than that tube of drug store lip gloss for your gift-giving needs.
Water Warrior
Scrub up and smile with Lush’s new Eco Chic gift package, the Little Green Bag. Wrapped in an organic, reusable scarf and chockful of au naturel products, it’s a perfect little pick-me-up present as we head into the hot summer months.
Buffed & Blue
We all know blueberries are good for you – and now they’re turning up in beauty products. In a stroke of collaborative genius, Fruits & Passion has partnered with Canadian companies on ethically harvesting the blueberry and safflower oils that make their new nourishing line of blueberry products so damn rich and rewarding.
Find of the Month: Hey Bébé!
This month’s find has year-round appeal, after all, there’s one born every minute! The Bébé line of products from Canadian retailer Fruits & Passion combines practical considerations – organic, sulphate-free, low fragrance – with the uber cute and extra uber affordable, making this a fantastic gift pick for those endless baby shower invites.
