Green Options

Raining Rose, Inc. was at the 2009 Dallas ASI show last week showing their line of 66% organic lip balms. They are USDA organic certified and I think these are great products for any Ecopreneurist looking for a different spin on giveaway items.

I’ve been waiting (patiently and not so patiently) to see how long it would take for truly biodegradable packaging to hit the markets. Sure the market has been working on bioplastic polymers for sometime but there are still issues with heat & cold tolerances that make usage limited. Enter Organic Essence! This is truly the ultimate in green packaging; using recycled paper pulp, soy inks, organic adhesive and even organic glaze on the outer surface. While the jars are not exactly my cup of tea in terms of design, I’m giving these guys major kudos for developing what is sure to revolutionize the way our organic & natural beauty products are bottled.

When I had my first child, what few items I bought were always unisex.  I knew I wanted two children, and I also wanted to reuse whatever clothes and products we would need.  Colette Kids offers unisex designs for little ones, and the best part is they are organic!

Made in the USA, Colette Kids onesies are constructed of 100% USDA Certified Organic Baby Rib cotton that is combed for softness and comfort. The graphic images have cute names and stories, like Charlotte the Pig. “Charlotte is an explorer. She likes bok choy and the water barrel.”  Each item of clothing is silk-screened by hand.
