All natural shaving oil made by Pacific Shaving Company is the perfect product for the green man or woman that shaves. Shaving creams lather due to aeration, and this creates less lubrication against your skin causing irritation. In contrast, shaving oils are smooth and eliminate nicks and razor burn. You only need to use 6-8 drops, and one small bottle lasts for 100 shaves. Made from all natural essential oils,this shaving oil will not clog pores and comes in a recyclable bottle.
LeFP Green Body Care - All Natural Anti-Monster Spray for Kids
We had the pleasure of encountering a line of all natural products at the recent Down 2 Earth Boston show that truly blew us away. LeFP Green Body Care features not only all natural cosmetics and products for women - but also some unique products for the kids in your life. For our 18 month and 4 year old - we got to try out the Anti-Monster spray. Sure it doesn't sound all that natural, but it is.
The idea is to get your kids to spray these anti-viral products and repel monsters and scary ghosts at the same time helping to reinforce your child's immune system with wonderful essential oils. So far it seems to be working around our house, and we love all the different scents it comes in too. Mist this in the room, the bed, sheet, pillows and pajamas for an instant anti-viral and anti-bacterial effect. You can check out all the ingredients for the Anti-Monster Spray and also read more about the LeFP philosophy here.
We can't wait to try some of their other products soon as well.
Home cleaning products can be a source of poor indoor air quality, thus it is really important to use the non-toxic, natural cleaners in your home, especially if you have a greywater system, like I do. Solay Simple, made by Solay Wellness, makes a multitude of cruelty-free, biodegradable, unscented, and non-toxic cleaning products. All of these products are "100% free of petroleum based or other hazardous ingredients, SLS, fragrances, phosphates, animal by products, dyes and other common triggers for respiratory or skin irritations."
Natural All Purpose Cleaner with Himalayan Salts: This product is great for cleaning anything in your home! It is made from purified water, sugar derived water conditioning agent, coconut derived surfactant blend, ethyl alcohol (derived from corn), and Himalayan salt. I am not too sure about the coconut derived surfactant blend, as this sounds similar to sodium lauryl sulfate; however, the label clearly states it is SLS free.
Solay Simple Dish Soap: This dish soap works well, but don't expect big suds (that's the lack of SLS). Just three ingredients (purified water, coconut derived surfactant blend, and Himalayan salt) keep your dishes clean and your family healthy.
Solay Simple Fruit and Veggie Wash: I've never seen much need for a separate product for cleaning fruits and veggies, since I eat organically and figure dish soap is safe for this purpose, but I have to say, this fruit and veggie wash came in handy when I was cleaning Jerusalem artichokes from the garden. It is made from purified water, coconut derived surfactant, citric acid (derived from citrus fruits,) and Himalayan salt.
Laundry Soap with Himalayan Salt: There are a lot of laundry soaps out there now claiming to be "eco-friendly", but many of them are not all natural. Solay Simple Laundry Soap is made from purified water, coconut derived surfactant blend, soy based fabric softener, and cellulose derived optical brightener, and Himalayan salt.
All Solay Simple cleaning products are made in the USA and come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Solay Wellness also donates donates money and products to several non profit organizations around the world.
Since 2001, Cereplast (cereal + plastic) has been making plant-based resins used to make compostable and biodegradable plates, cups, and utensils, which break down after 180 days. With many California cities and countries in Europe and Asia banning polystyrene, the demand for eco-friendly plastics is on the rise. Made from U.S.-farmed corn, wheat, and potato with tapioca grown in Africa and Asia, Cereplast does not use any genetically modified plants. Cereplast bioplastic prices are competitive, especially as petroleum prices rise.
This compact, durable and user-friendly composter is sure to please. Aeration occurs through small openings in the drum, and the lockable lid prevents access to the compost by small animals. The drum is indented for easy gripping and rolling, and the base is able to collect up to 5 gallons of liquid fertilizer or compost tea.
It's nice to see apple actually think through a product from the circuit board to the packaging. The Macbook Air features an Aluminum case, and a mercury-free and arsenic-free glass display. The circuit boards are BFR free and PVC free, and best of all the packaging has 56% less volume than the regular MacBook. Not too shabby. .
BBC News is reporting that a French company has developed a pollution-free car which runs on compressed air. That's right - you could fill your car up at the same place you fill the air in your tires! Well - maybe not entirely on the same thing. The air car, also known as the Mini-CAT or City Cat, can be refueled in minutes from an air compressor at specially equipped gas stations and can go 200 km on a 1.5 euro fill-up -- roughly 125 miles for $3. The top speed will be almost 70 mph and the cost of the vehicle as low as $7000.
What was old is young again...or new again - or at least eco-friendly and rechargeable. We give you the Casio FX-260 Solar Scientific Calculator. Your eco-friends will be green with envy as you do your math calculations carbon free, and solve the next riddle in eco-friendly math. All of this is assuming your the kind of geek that likes to do math in the outdoors - or near windows.
Here's something everyone needs: an emergency shake-and-go LED Flashlight. Shake it for 60 seconds and you get 30 minutes of bright white light from three LED bulbs.
The Princess LED Flashlight is great for camping, power outages, or to keep in your glove compartment. And, with no batteries and LED lightbulbs that last over 100,000 hours, it's good for the environment as well. Plus, it's waterproof (just in case).
Buy two or more and get 5% off each of them on Amazon.
We blogged about Arabella Miller's fun graphic kids t-shirts last month. As you'll recall, they're so organic (cotton, ink, etc.) that they're soil-certified. And, just as importantly, they're (almost) as cute as the sweet little muffin you're going to put in them. At the time, we lamented that they were only available in the U.K. Well, it's a global world. Yippee!
We especially like the new long-sleeve t-shirts, pictured here, which have a cool, retro baseball shirt look. Nice.
Shipping to the U.S. costs seven pounds. Not a bad deal when you consider that overnight domestic FedEx is about the same.
Looking for a stylish, earth-friendly way to carry your groceries? Need to supplement your EZ Bags with something that goes over your shoulder? Want a creative, green way to wrap your holiday gifts?
Called the "It bag of the future" by Teen Vogue, this stylish and ridiculously practical bag (sold in packages of 3 and 6) is one easy step in helping save the planet. Baggu ("bag" in Japanese) is machine washable, and folds up into its own pouch small enough to tuck into your handbag or pocket. Made of super-tough ripstop nylon in bright, fun colors, it's the re-usable bag that's eco-chic.
The toothbrush handle is made of 100% recycled plastics, including at least 25% recycled Stonyfield Farm yogurt cups. The ergonomic, pea pod shaped handle makes it easy to grip. The nylon bristles are soft and gentle on kids' teeth and gums.
Each brush features a fun fact about one of three endangered animals: the Karner Blue Butterfly, the Utah Prairie Dog or the Grizzly Bear. And a portion of the proceeds from each toothbrush sale supports the National Wildlife Federation's efforts to protect endangered species.
As if good dental hygiene isn't a reward in itself.
The World Wildlife Federation (WWF) is concerned about climate change. And they should be -- global warming from greenhouse gas emissions is the single largest threat to our environment today.
This would make a gift for that "Hotter than I Should Be" animal lover on your list. You can let them know you've noticed, and that you care about the planet.
