Who wouldn’t want to soak up these natural concoctions fit for a healthy, active lifestyle? Whether looking to support muscles after a long day, calm your mind for a soothing night, or get that energizing boost to take on the morning, the right combos of plant ingredients (think jumpier and cedar wood, geranium and lavender, or black pepper and grapefruit) make for the ultimate bath-time experience.
I’m loving this new, “old school” line of natural men’s personal care products, including hair pomade and beard oil, all inspired by Badger Bill’s father “Big Bill” (the Badger crew posted photos of him throughout their New England manufacturing facility for inspiration). As always, the brand uses high-quality, simple ingredients such as organic beeswax, coconut oil, vanilla, jojoba, and more.
Blending ancient alchemy (in the form of energizing crystals and well-being-focused color blends) with modern beauty, AEOS sources from its own certified biodynamic farm not only to use the highest quality botanicals but also to more deeply connect the earth to the products and ultimately to its customers, according to the brand. The farm-fresh, plant-based ingredients in products like facial skin care and bath salts include spelt oil, neroli, and lemon.
Antiaging skin care that actually works never gets old. Say hello to this next-gen beauty product that's part of MyChelle's new high-performance targeted line. This launch highlights several cutting edge ingredients focused on tackling causes of skin aging: lackluster skin cells, dwindling collagen production and sun damage. Key ingredients include orange stem cells, ceramides, and a patent-pending form of retinal that is 500 times more powerful than traditional vitamin A.
Fungi never looked so beautiful. This company grows, processes and packages all of the USDA organic mushrooms used to create targeted blends such as this Beauty Mix for skin, hair and nails that are perfect for boosting a morning smoothie.
Whether for clear skin or full tresses, this line of supplements nails its beauty-from-within message with clear branding and honest claims that emphasize both key ingredients (including apple extract and collagen) and benefit—clear skin, hair volume—with no frills, just clean and simple. I think it could make a splash in the nutricosmetics space.
Fresh, sexy branding on products such as personal lubricants, playful oils and private-parts cleansers positions Good Clean Love as the new, healthy option in a once-taboo category. After being part of third-party research that supported these products as an excellent natural alternative lube, the company used the study results to develop a new version that takes “natural” to another level—not only using natural ingredients but also creating a product that more closely mimics the body’s natural pH levels and lactic acid.
A brand truly dedicated to clean, conscious business, SoapBox Soaps keeps raising the (soap) bar for do-good natural companies, first introducing its one-for-one model with its line of natural soaps. Now, every purchase from its new line of natural body wash provides a year’s worth of vitamins for a child in need.
Getting a good night’s rest and keeping stress levels in check are key to preserving collagen—the key protein in skin that keeps it looking fresh and young, and the ingredient for which NeoCell has built its reputation. That’s why I am paying attention to the company’s new product focused on managing stress and supporting sound sleep with adaptogenic herbs, meant to be taken with a collagen supplement for that double-dose of skin support.
Tackling one of the natural beauty industry’s trickiest ingredients, Symrise is a leading supplier of nontoxic, plant-based fragrances that meet NPA’s “natural” standard for personal care products. I love that the company tapped into one of the hottest trends in the organic food space, launching a line of fresh juice-inspired scents at Expo West. These natural aromas are bound to sprout up in a range of finished goods.
