Green Options

I am simply smitten with my new organic skinnyskinny soaps and beauty items! 

skinnyskinny features bath, beauty and eco-home items, all created with sustainability in mind. They offer so many wonderful organic handmade soaps to choose from, so if you can’t decide, try their affordable sample set of eight.

My favorite aspect of the company is that their packaging for the gift boxes is intentionally un-branded (there is no company logo or name anywhere on the box making them simple and fun to re-use. This made them the winners of the Best Green Packaging HBA award because:

• all soaps are wrapped in 100% recycled and reclaimed materials.
• the box is made from sustainable wild-grass and with fair labor.
• skinnyskinny is 100% carbon-neutral (wind-power & carbon credits).
• all printing is soy ink on 100% PCW recycled paper.

Here are some facts about this tea’s three natural healing ingredients:
