Not all lip balms are created equal. Inara Organics Babussu lip balm is a superior solution for a soft smooth lips with a commitment to quality, environmentalism, and good design. Instead of a lint-attracting tube, Inara is packaged in a wafer-thin rectangular metal box with door that slides back. When ready to dab, the balm is soft but not soupy, transforming reptile skin into a supple pucker in two or three days. Also first-rate, Inara's sugar rubs, and body crème, like all their products, feature 100% certified organic with a large percentage of raw ingredients purchased fair-trade from women’s co-ops in Amazonian Brazil—even the scents are derived from natural essential oils. Inara’s clean and earthy identity might throw you off, but don’t be fooled—Inara founder Anne Doubleu built her background at Esteé Lauder.
$12 from Inara.

Before my friends at Biggs & Featherbelle urged me to try their Muscle Soak, I'd never been a fan of baths. Their inventive mix of Ginger, Alfalfa, and woodsy essential oils took me somewhere else. The no-synthetics and their packaging are equally inventive pluses for the body care company....
Since 1870, Rio de Janeiro-based Granado has been incorporating local and natural ingredients in their hair care items, soap and lotions which come in different varieties to address specific beauty battles. One of my favorites is the Castanha de Brasil line which is specially made with chestnuts from the Amazon that help to heal dry skin and hair—the remedy was first used by indigenous...
Since Pattern Body Washes appeared in my bathroom, each shower is a new aromatic experience. The all-natural body washes are made from the finest essential oils and plant extracts without parabens, artificial colors or dyes and are available in four scents, Cucumber, Citrus, Eucalyptus and (my favorite) Black Pepper. The spicy scent is made from herbal extracts and essential oils of black pepper, ylang-ylang...
Richard Fine, one of the founders behind the new Help Remedies that you may have noticed around recently, stopped by our office this morning to give us some of the first samples of his reinvented bandages and acetaminophen. The well-designed, eco-packages look as good in person as they do in photos and the un-boxing was a delight, with text and design accents revealing themselves...
