Acure Organics


I knew that I would fall in love with Acure Organics when I read their tag line "A cure for your skin. A Cure for the planet." As we lead up to Earth day, I cannot think of a company more devoted to preserving the earth. Acure Organics products are 100% natural, with certified organic ingredients and they are free of synthetic fragrances and only use 100% steam distilled, pure plant essential oils to scent. Their products are all gluten free (except for the facial cleansers). There is no animal testing and they are licensees of TransFairUSA, the leading third-party certifier of Fair Trade Certified Ingredients in the US. Acure Organics is 100% carbon neutral and
any paper they use is either 100% recycled or Forest Stewardship Council certified from sustainably managed forests. The Acure Organics offices are 100% solar and wind powered with Green-e certified renewable energy. The products are all 100% biodegradable. Acure Organics bottles are recycled HDPE, PET, or glass . These materials are the most widely recyclable, food safe and 100% BPA-free.
This family-operated business is dedicated to the environment and helping people look and feel their best with a very small carbon footprint. Acure Organics makes a donation to breast cancer research for every facial product purchased. Each quarter they plant a number of trees to do their part in renewing our natural resources. Acure Organics have planted over 20,000 trees so far through this program. They are proud supporters of the Farmland Trust, which works to convert conventional farmland into certified organic farms. They also sponsor small organic farmers in Panama and Costa Rica with microloans.

In love yet?! I thought so. If as if all this was not enough, the products are nothing short of amazing. I use the Lemongrass + Moroccan Argan Oil body lotion every single day. To say I am addicted to the scent would be an understatement. I love that way it smells and more importantly how good my skin feels. I spoke to a body care specialist at my local natural food store and she said Acure Organics products fly off the shelves faster than they can stock them. I am so excited to try more of their line. This is a company that has real values and their products are beautifully made. I love that they use such amazing scents and that everything is so reasonably priced. Together maybe we really can find Acure!

MJ's Herbals


I feel pretty fortunate for the people I meet through this blog. One of my all-time favorite conversations and new friendships is with MJ of MJ's Herbals. MJ's Herbals carries salves that are lovingly handcrafted by MJ herself. She was inspired by her Sicilian grandmother who often used herbal remedies for ailments. MJ realized the healing power of plants. MJ studied plant science in high school and college. She then studies herbalism and holistic healing through her own research and apprenticeships with masters in the field. Her line is true to the belief that simple, organic ingredients can help with life's ailments. She currently handmakes five different salve: Lavender, Arnica, Calendula, First Aid and Breast Balm.
I have the Calendula Salve, and from the minute I opened it, I have been carrying it with me everywhere. The small jar holds huge healing powers.
MJ's Herbals salves have more of a creamy, silky feel - something MJ herself perfected over years of formulating. MJ's Herbals Calendula Salve is an exceptionally effective remedy for inflamed skin, slow healing wounds, skin ulcers, & irritations. We use it for puffy eyes and dry, itchy skin. Although calendula is strong in action, it is gentle on the skin and ideal for baby skin care needs. Feel the healing power of these beautiful garden blossoms! 1.0 oz. (from Spiritbeautylounge.com)

The Calendula Salve has been used in our home for everything from rashes, to soothing my daughter's chronically itchy winter skin. A little goes a long way and we see results withing in minutes rather than hours or days. I love that the salves are certified organic, and I feel safe using them on my daughter. The salves are wonderful, but even more healing is knowing the love and care MJ puts into every pot. I truly believe MJ has the gift of healing and she uses the most natural ingredients nature has to offer to help her use this gift.

Ahava Brings Your Skin Back to Life

I actually started using AHAVA when I was in college. I was in a shop and noticed that a woman near me smelled amazing, so I asked her what it was. AHAVA has a wonderful line based on active deadsea minerals. Their products work wonders for skin. Having actually had the opportunity to swim in the Dead Sea as a child, I know the healing properties is has, and AHAVA explains, minerals are part of your skin's language and it helps your skin to perform better.
As the years have gone on AHAVA adds more wonderful items, and I had to share my favorites with you.

The new Mineral Botanic line has four different scents: Hibiscus & Fig, Honeysuckle & Lavender, Lotus Flower & Chestnut and Waterlily & Guarana. Each one is targeted to your skins need. I have dry skin so I chose the

Mineral Botanic Cream Wash in Hibiscus & Fig
. The smells is literally one of the most wonderful scents I have ever encountered. I am completely in thrall with this body wash. It is so moisturizing, you do not even need to put on body lotion after. My dry itchy skin became delightfully soft. Best of all, no SLS.
This luscious cream wash feels more like a body lotion than a liquid soap. Powered by a richly textured formula of natural Dead Sea minerals and plant extracts, it envelops my skin in accents of hibiscus and fig to provide an outstanding anti-bacterial cleansing.
Hibiscus helps to smooth and moisturizer skin as it promotes the healing of dry skin with natural anti-bacterial properties.
Fig extract contains anti-inflammatory properties as well as natural moisturizers


Of course no matter how moisturizing the wash is, I still love my lotions and oils.
The AHAVA Dry Oil Body Mist is my spring and summer skincare saviour. I love the glow it imparts on my skin. I never feel greasy and I love how healing it feels.
Loaded with the effective anti-oxidant Dunaliella algae, this hydrating mist spray enlivens the senses with the intoxicating scents of mandarin and cedar oils. My skin feels supple and soft and gives off a clean glow.
Sesame Seed Oil and Vitamin E provide anti-aging properties that strengthen skin natural barriers
Vitamin E protects skin against free radicals


When the sunscreens start clogging up my skin , I make sure to turn to the
Purifying Mud Mask. It is very gentle (which is a must for my sensitive skin) and it really changes how my sometimes hormonal skin reacts. It contains Dead Sea mud and minerals which heal your skin. The Horsetail extract making it soothing and has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, while the jojoba oil moisturizes your skin.

Bring the benefits of the Dead Sea right to your home with AHAVA.

Emily Skin Soothers


No matter how mild the weather this year seems, the minute it gets cold, my daughter and I resemble little crocodiles. Well, not really, but we get dry, itchy skin. I have tried everything! Then I found Emily Skin Soothers. This incredible line was created by a dad for his daughter, Emily. When Emily was a baby she was getting red bumps on her neck and cheeks, which the doctor diagnosed as baby eczema. Thank goodness Emily's dad was an acupuncturist and herbalist, and he created a formula that was gentle enough for his own daughter's skin. No chemicals!
With Emily’s infant skin in mind I used the bare minimum of ingredients. I used only high quality herbs that were sulfur and preservative free. I worked with herbal formulas that were tried and true, and hundreds of years old. I tested them on myself and my wife and simplified them. When I was sure they were safe and effective, we began to use them on our daughter. The results are the products we now offer to you.


The line is so wonderful that it works for
• Dry-type Eczema
• Flaking dry psoriasis
• Cracked hands and cuticles
• Dry cracked heels
• Rosacea
• Diaper rash

I love how pure the formulas are. I was disturbed when my daughter got eczema and we were given steroid creams and told to use a a petroleum-based moisturizer. We have the Baby and Adult Skin Soother which does not contain colorants, artificial fragrances, preservatives or chemicals. There are only five all natural ingredients. All of the Emily Skin Soothers contain absolutely no parabens, petroleum products, SLS, artificial fragrances, additives, or any synthetic ingredients. The Cosmetic Safety Database gives a "0" rating to all of the skin soothers, which means they contain no dangerous or hazardous chemicals. You can get rid of the steroids doctors force upon you and finally use something gentle on your skin flare-ups that actually works even better.

We are also big fans of the Liquid Soap, which seems to be the only soap that works to soothe my dry skin rather than making it feel even drier. I even got Product Daddy hooked!

Emily Skin Soothers is so wonderful that they are offering Product Mommy readers an exclusive 15% off with the code "PRODUCTMOM" when you order from their site http://www.emilyskinsoothers.com/index.html. Hurry because this offer expires on 2/22/12. I know I am stocking up!

Suki Saves Me

When you make the switch to using natural skin and body care, you immediately notice a difference. I liken it to your body detoxing. Suddenly synthetic smells and chemicals are easier to identify and avoid. Winter is here, so we have to work extra hard to protect our delicate skin. One of my favorite lines is Suki . Suki is natural, bio dynamic & uses food grade ingredients. Their packaging is environmentally responsible, and most importantly the the products work. They are all formulated to be effective, yet gentle for people with sensitive skins and those with eczema. We fall into the eczema family in our house. Once it starts getting cold, my daughter always gets a touch of eczema somewhere. While Suki might seem like a brand just for adults, it is so gentle that I use it on my daughter.
We use the
Exfoliate Foaming Body Cleanser. It was formulated for all skin types, especially dry, eczema, dermatitis-prone & acneic skin. I use it on myself and my daughter with amazing results! Her skin is super soft and not itchy anymore.

Butter Cream Healing Salve is perfect for sealing in vital moisture and also for getting rid of rashes. It is a multi-functional, non-greasy, therapeutic balm. Formulate for those with especially dry skin, including babies. especially formulated for eczema, dermatitis, stretch marks, rough dry spots, feet & elbows. My daughter had scratched her leg and I put a coating of the Butter Cream Healing Salve. The itching, redness and scratch marks were gone overnight.
I cannot wait to try more products. Their skincare is one of the few brands that actually show results immediately, and never irritate. Go natural, go eco-friendly, go Suki.

Infotone Face Mist


Companies like AquaLiv are changing the way we care for our bodies and skin. They are a company that uses science and nature, rather than chemicals. AquaLiv are
...committed to advancing science while strictly following the blueprint provided to us by Mother Nature. We wish to feed and heal the world without altering her genetics, using chemical herbicides/pesticides, or creating toxic drugs that manage one condition while creating another. We hope you agree with our philosophy.

The Infotone Face Mist is an example of their dedication to helping you feel and look your best...naturally. The Inforton Face Mist contains a non-toxic and 100% natural mineral clay ceramic ball that features AquaLiv’s BioT™ Bioinformation Technology. The BioT™ Ceramic enhances water with the qualities of several skin-activating compounds. So simple, beautiful, clean water is turned into a powerful tonic. When you mist it on your face it encourages hydration and clear, glowing skin.
Researchers observed improved hydration, suppleness, firmness, and texture and reduced dryness, oxidation, wrinkles, skin pigmentation, and blemishes.

No other misters on the market use the BioT™ Bioinformation Technology. Infotone is really the only one of its kind. It is the greenest cosmetic available.

I store mine in the fridge for a cooling spray after washing my face. It leaves skin moisturized, which you would not expect from water (which usually leave skin feeling tight). I love that when my bottle runs out, I can refill it with water from home for up to one year! That is a savings this mommy cannot argue with. It really does do everything they say. My skin goes crazy from the use of sunscreen, and blemishes usually abound. I have been using Infotone after swimming and sunbathing, and not blemish yet.

Nature and Science working together is a beautiful thing!

Kahina Giving Beauty

I take skincare pretty seriously. I know I did some damage to my skin during my teenage years when I let my pale skin burn. Now I wear at least a 30 spf and make sure to keep my face covered. I still get pink cheeks and dry skin. I kept reading about the amazing properties found in argan oil. Argan oil has high concentrations of nutrients like highly potent antioxidants. Argan oil neutralizes free radicals, reduces inflammation, minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and protects the skin from harsh environmental factors. It is as natural as you can get, and your skin absorbs it, so you never get that greasy residue some moisturizers leave.

I found Kahina Giving Beauty during my search for the purest argan oil. Berber Women of Morocco have been using argan oil for years to protect their skin the desert. Kahina is named for a Berber queen and prophetess who reigned in Morocco circa 700 CE. Kahina is a heroine to Berber women. Kahina Giving Beauty was founded by Katharine Phillips L’Heureux after a trip to Morocco where she discovered the effectiveness of pure argan oil. Kahina Giving Beauty is aptly names as it gives back 25% of the profits from the sale of Kahina Giving Beauty products to support initiatives to help these women. The entire site for Kahina is based around educating the consumer to the uses and sustainability of Kahina-Giving Beauty.

Berber women extract the oil from the nut of the argan tree. These women actually reside in North Africa in the among the argan forests. Kahina Giving Beauty is helping these women in the argan cooperatives by providing them with their first chance at economic and social freedom. Many of them are learning to read and write for the first time through literacy programs provided by the cooperatives. Kahina Giving Beauty packaging is actually decorated with the signatures of some of the Berber women. I find that so touching and beautiful.

The products are fantastic. I use the Facial Lotion morning and night. It is so light-weight with a very light pleasant smell. My skin drinks this up! I noticed a marked difference in skin tightness and dryness.

My other skin treat is the 100% Organic Argan Oil. A need the tiniest amount at night to help soothe my pink cheeks. My hands have become softer just from applying it at night. I also used it on my daughter's arm where she had a scare and it seems to be disappearing. I was skeptical using an oil, but this is just a dream. You have to try argan oil! You can even use it in your hair to tame frizziness.

I love everything about the Kahina Giving Beauty company. They are giving back to an amazing group of women, and bringing jobs and education. And I cannot complain about the gorgeous and soft skin they have given me.

evanhealy...Nature's Most Natural Skincare

evanhealy is an artisan-quality skin care treatment line created by aesthetician Evan Healy.
Her holistic approach draws from traditional plant lore, aromatherapy, ayurveda, and homeopathy. evanhealy is based on the thought that when it comes to skin, less is more.
You will not find safer or more pure skincare.

As soon as I became a mother, my skin went wild (during and after pregnancy). My old staples were not only full of chemicals I no longer felt safe using, they actually seemed to be causing more harm than good. When I had the chance to try evanhealy, I was thrilled. I had high expectations from things I had read, and evanhealy exceeded every one.

evanhealy Blue Lavender Cleansing Milk was nothing short of amazing.
Steam-distilled essential oils of blue chamomile and lavender combine with nourishing plant oils to thoroughly cleanse any sensitive skin condition.
My skin goes through the ringer in New England, and I seemed to always have bright pink cheeks from my face wash being too harsh. My skin always felt tight and dry. I used the Blue Lavender Cleansing Milk, and my skin really felt the difference. My skin felt smooth, no bright pink cheeks, and yet it also felt clean.

The Lavender Facial Tonic Hydrosol is refreshing and unlike most toners, does not contain alchohol. It can be used on even the most sensitive skin. I used it after cleansing, but have found myself in moments of pure mommy-craziness, giving my face a little spray. The scent calms me down, while it soothes my skin. This will be amazing during the summer months when chlorine from the pool and the sun drive my skin wild.

The Blue Chamomile Day Moisturizer was the perfect finish. It contains
Essential oils of lavender, blue chamomile and immortelle work to restore vitality, hydration and calmness to irritated, reactive skin
With fresh botanical extracts of elderflower, horsetail, and green teaIt smells wonderful, and moisturized my dry cheeks, while keeping my t-zone from getting oily. It has a delicious texture, and a little goes a long way.

The Rosehip Treatment Facial Serum is perfect for extra-healing to dry and sensitive skin areas. I used it on the worry lines between my eyebrows, and in two days, I saw a big difference. This is also wonderful for healing the appearance of scarring after a break-out.

The Green Tea Clay is a powder you mix with water to give yourself a lovely exfoliating, purifying mask. I used it on my t-zone and went about my chores. It did the trick, and stopped some skin eruptions in their tracks.

The Sweet Blossom Hydrating Body Oil is Scented with the clean, fresh fragrance of petitgrain leaf, layered with sweet neroli blossoms, exotic ylang ylang and balanced with rich, resinous frankincense. It calms skin and inflammation. Again, I cite a New England winter. My arms and legs are always itchy and dry, and this cured it. I even felt safe enough to use some on ProductBaby and her dry patch on her leg. We both love the smell and it worked wonders overnight.

evanhealy is really an example of how pure plant essences can makes a very big difference to your skin. Take a look at the products you are using. Chances are, if you cannot even begin to pronounce it, it is not safe and probably contains chemicals. As parents and as humans, we owe it to ourselves to take care of skin as nature intended.

Earth Mama Angel Baby Giveaway!


Earth Mama Angel Baby has everything you could possibly need from the minute your find out your are expecting, through delivery, post-partum, and even skin care for you new little bundle of joy. I wrote about their fabulous Breastfeeding Support Kit. I cannot say enough good things about Earth Mama Angel Baby…well I can actually. Their products are 100% toxin-free, cruelty-free, vegan, and free from all artificial preservatives, fragrances and dyes.

Earth Mama Angel Baby was nice enough to send us their Angel Baby Shampoo and Body Wash and Angel Baby Lotion to try out. The Angel Baby Shampoo and Body Wash is USDA Certified Made with Organic Ingredients. It is a real castile soap and is super gentle. It contains organic calendula, zero toxins and no artificial fragrance. It smells like fresh oranges with a little vanilla note. Because it contains no numbing agents (like most baby shampoo and body washes on the market), it is not tear-free. It comes in a self-foaming bottle, so when you put it on baby, you control where it goes.

Angel Baby® Shampoo & Body Wash contains no petrochemical, synthetic surfactants, foaming agents or toxins of any kind. That means no sodium laureth sulfate, cocoamidylpropyl betaine, Quaternium-15, 1,4-Dioxane, formaldehyde or phthalates.

Little girls in general are more sensitive to bubble baths etc. in the tub, so this gentle formula is perfect! We are in love with it. It gets her clean without stripping her skin or hair. I am pretty obsessed with the delicious scent, and Product Baby likes looking at herself in the mirror when we “cream puff” her hair, right before we scrub her clean. I am so pleased that I just ordered the huge 34 oz. refill bottle!

The Angel Baby Lotion has the same delicious orange and vanilla scent at the Angel Baby Shampoo and Body Wash. It is also 100% naturally preserved with no artificial dyes or fragrances. And it is:
• No Artificial Fragrances or Dyes
• Cruelty-Free
• Toxin-Free
• Certified Vegan
I love how soft it makes her, and my skin. We are super dried out from summer weather and constant swimming. I even use it after washing my hands to keep them moisturized. A little goes a long way with this lotion, but Product Baby loves the smell so much, I have caught her trying to sneak “just a little bit more Mama,” at least three times now.

Earth Mama Angel Baby products are one of the only brands out there to get a “0” rating on the Cosmetics Database, a website that rates the hazards of various skincare products. So you can be assured these are the safest products you can use on your child, and yourself. I am totally in love with this company. They really care about what they are putting out there.

Dr. Hauschka

Dr. Haushka is well-known skin care line. They have expanded through the years to include body care, hair care and holistic home remedies. The line was created by esthetician Elisabeth Sigmund and Dr. Hauschka, who both recognized that skin health and outward appearance are the direct results of a person’s internal health and emotional well-being. The entire line works in tune with your body and so therapeutic. The grow and source their materials in an ecologically sound manner and employ fair trade initiatives. If you have ever been to a health food store, or high end skin care boutique, you have definitely seen the Dr. Hauschka line displayed, and most often in low stock because so many clammer to get it! I was fortunate to try a few different items from the line, and I am a new devotee!

Dr.Hauschka is probably best known for their skincare. The have started a genius program called Radiant You. You can purchase these skin care kits with trial sizes of three wonderful skincare products. They are very well-priced and a perfect way to introduce your skin to Dr. Hauschka.
The kit I got included: Lavender Bath, Cleansing Cream and Facial Toner. This set is meant to introduce you to the Dr. Hauschka cleansing method. I fell in love with all three products and went out and bought the full size because I immediately noticed the difference in my skin from using this set. I also snuck a few drops of the Lavender Bath into my bath to relax and it worked wonders and smells like heaven! If you have a Radiant You party, you can even get the skincare sets for free, to try with you and your friends!

The Lemon Body Wash smells just like a sun-ripened lemon. It contains shea butter, apricot kernel oil, blackthorn and witch hazel to hydrate your skin. Because it is soap-free, it will not dry you out. It is so creamy it can even be used as a shaving cream. I cannot get over the scent. It is so sunny and bright that it makes me crave summer. This is the perfect body wash for rejuvenating skin after hours spent in the sun, salt water and pool.

I was delighted to also get a chance to try some of the Dr. Hauschka holistic home remedies. I tried the Berberis Nose Balm which relieves nasal congestion and irritation. It can be used on children and adults. I spend most of allergy season using these horrible prescription nose drops which eventually cause nose bleeds and severe discomfort. I have used this Berberis Nose Balm for a whole week with wonderful results! My nose feels moisturized and I can finally sleep without miserable stuffiness.

I am a strong believer that scent is a great factor in products. Because Dr. Hauschka uses such wonderful plant essences, you will not be disappointed. I cannot wait to try more from the line, and am delighted with the results of everything I have used so far.

Baby Bear Shop

BABYBEARSHOP was founded by a mommy of two children. It is an organic skincare line
'just right' for mothers, babies, and grown-ups alike who care about their health, the environment and having lusciously soft and healthy skin.

BABYBEARSHOP products are all-natural, cruelty-free, paraben-free and are safe for your family and the environment. They contain no phenoxyethanol, lactoperoxidase, citrus seed extract and no other synthetic preservatives or additives. They contain no dairy, no nuts, no gluten, no soy, no egg, no oat, no colors, no artificial anything. Children with many allergies can actually use these products! They are made with pure and organic plants and plant extracts from sustainable farming methods, and are in recyclable containers.
I think it is especially cool that for every order placed, BABYBEARSHOP plants a tree to offset carbon emissions. And BABYBEARSHOP ® is a member of Co-op America, Safecosmetics, Organic Trade Association, Healthy Child Healthy World, PETA and Trees for the Future.

This is a skincare line that actually walks the walk. Product Mommy and Product Baby were lucky enough to try some BABYBEARSHOP products. The Cheeky Baby Butter is 99% organic and 100% natural. The tiniest bit goes a very long way. We are currently potty training, and my daughter often forgets to tell us, and gets a little shy when she goes in diaper...then come the rashes. We used a competitors product and it made her rash worse. The Cheeky Baby Butter not only cleared up the original rash, it also cleared what the the other "natural" product caused. It has an herbal lavender smell, but somehow still smells like clean fresh baby skin, rather than being overly herbal. Mama Bears can use it as stretch mark cream, for wrinkles, and even for dry hands and feet. I love a multi-use product. Do not even get me started on the adorable packaging.

The other BABYBEARSHOP treat we got to try were the All the Better to Kiss You With lip balms in Lavender Vanilla and Pepperminty. They come in cool old-school recyclable slide tins and are amazing. I find lots of natural lip balms are too light and have a funky smell to them. These both smell amazing. I carry Pepperminty with me all day, and I use Lavender Vanilla to relax at night. They are thick without being goopy and one swipe before bed is still on in the morning. My little Product Baby and I keep tussling for them. I do not want to share!

Did I mention they also smell amazing? The Cucumber Sage refreshes my skin, and i use it morning and night. I was on the search for a night cream, and was delighted with the Vanilla Acai, it is effective without being too heavy. I have found my natural skincare line!
