Green Options

I’m one of those label-reading, ingredient poring, information seeking obsessives who needs to know everything there is to know before making a purchase, whether it’s my beauty products or what I eat. How could I have known that obsession would reach a whole new level of pedantic a while back when I became pregnant with twin boys, but it did with a vengeance! While I could write a whole post on the baby industry and it’s unbelievable lack of organic & natural products, not to mention its mind-boggling lack of knowledge by supposed industry experts, the purpose of this post is to bring to your attention a new natural & organic hair care collection by Nine Naturals, specifically targeted to pregnant mothers.

I most often think of anti-aging products as related to skincare and I’m fastidious about taking care of my skin, but how many of us remember that hair suffers from the same aging process – and hands up who treats their hair as well as their face? C’mon, be honest! Having recently tried Rare El’ements and experiencing glossy, healthy, strong, shiny hair in place of my usual frizzy, slightly dry, fine locks, I’m a new convert to the world of anti-aging hair care. Rare El’ements set out to revolutionize the mainstream hair care industry by creating products that combine natural luxury with the same performance that salon professionals depend on, and in my opinion, they succeeded.

Yes to Carrots introduces a body care line that includes shampoo, body wash, ultra luxe moisturizers and even FIrst USDA certified lip balms widely available at your local drugstore. Using materials only sourced from Organic farmers, Yes to Carrots use natural ingredients like Carrots rich in beta carotene and Dead Sea mud and minerals. Their products are rich and creamy; unlike many organic beauty products that smells herbally and a bit crunchy granola. At first, I was a bit taken back at its unherbal like scent; but soon enjoyed it smooth creaminess that borders on luxurious. C Through the Dry Spell Body Butter is incredibly moisturizing even to my very very dry almost arid skin.
