Giving Good Natural Face And Hair
Tilth has been a standout at GGA HQ this season. This line is entirely vegan, cruelty-free, eco-friendly, and made in America with some of the most luxe all-natural ingredients possible. We are so impressed by the products and morals behind this company. The collection contains safe, effective, skin care technology. Each product in the luxury skin care range is formulated with supreme quality natural, botanical and cosmeceuticals ingredients. They work in concert with “Mother Nature’s abundant and abiding genius” and claim first and foremost that their love of animals and the earth drive the ethics behind the line. The line is fantastic, though the stand out for us is the cleanser.
During advanced research on the uses of the Nerium oleander plant, an accidental discovery was made: the unique properties of Nerium oleander provided remarkable age-defying results when applied to the skin. This finding led to the formation of the NeriumAD skincare line. Nerium scientists developed a breakthrough process, NBio-PL2, to derive an extract from the Nerium oleander plant in a way that preserves its unique and beneficial properties. This patented extraction process yields the NAE-8 extract, with powerful antioxidant properties, used to formulate the first-of-its-kind, age-defying Nerium product line. This anti-aging line works exceedingly well. Stand out for us – the nighttime moisturizer.
Coola is a line of certified organic sun protection (!) just in time for vacation! With the most pure, eco-conscious products possible, this line is organic, sustainable and locally sourced, much like the foods we prefer to eat. Green, yet still luxurious, these products will protect and nourish your skin with vitamins, natural-protectors and age-defying antioxidants. In addition to being solar powered™, they also incorporate farm to face™ which describes their sourcing policy for local ingredients and vendors. In 2012 Coola introduced plant protection™ after revolutionizing the use of plant stem cells and plant phyto-protectors to boost sun protection naturally. We believe and hope this company continues to pave the way in the suncare industry, wouldn’t it be great to pop in to CVS last minute and grab actually organic sunscreen?! And because the company produces in limited quantity batches in sunny and cool San Diego, they’re able to reformulate often, taking advantage of new developments in sun science. Stand out for us? The easy (for Mama and baby!) spray sunscreen options which won’t waft you in a stink of chemicals!
This line just keeps improving their offerings of Amazonian Organic ingredients. We are particularly partial to their new face and body scrubs made with 100% natural exfoliants from Coconut bark and organic Buriti, which remove dead cells and impurities. Amazonian White Clay enhances the exfoliation power, and a high concentration of organic Aloe Vera juice provides intense hydration. It leaves skin silky, smooth, soft and hydrated. No ethyl alcohol, sulfates or silicone. But best of all, it smells like a sexy day on the beach. The smell will make you feel happy and summery, even if you are depressed and snowed in. This line certified vegan, organic, and eco. It doesn’t get much better than that. With NO sulfates, NO parabens, NO BHT, NO EDTA, NO synthetic fragrance, NO mineral oil, NO GMOs, NO phthalates, NO alcohol, NO silicon — we say YES.
Aura Cacia makes aromatherapy easy with their extensive selection of high quality essential oils and aromatherapy products for all ages and spaces. Most of which are organic. We are just mad for their newest release – their Geranium essential oil line which yields a balancing aromatherapy benefit that helps modify emotions that are in a state of flux. Who couldn’t use this? The main reason we love it — it just smells so darn sweet.

Lulu Blossom Skin Care is a vegetarian beauty and bath line that manufactures all natural skin care products for the face and body. An American made, female owned business based in Chicago, IL, Racheal Kash started making these natural skin care products in her kitchen in Chicago’s East Rogers Park free of parabens, sulfates, glycols, dyes and animal fats, but also fun and affordable for everyone. They never test on animals or use animal fats in their products, they are vegetarians and pet owners! They are also sulfate-free, paraben-free, glycol-free, and petroleum-free.
