Botot Toothpaste by Tim Yu
by Passa Chattra
Botot toothpaste is considered the "world's first toothpaste." Dr. Julien Botot invented this toothpaste in 1755 for King Louis XV of France. The formula lacks any of those nasty synthetic ingredients or colors. Instead it contains special natural ingredients like gillyflower, ginger, and cinnamon that give your mouth a slight warming feeling while promoting circulation in your gums. It tastes and feels like the first couple of chews of Big Red gum.
Having the tube sitting on the sink serves as one of those intimate details in the bathroom that suggest indulgence, antiquity and foreign lands. Available for $8 at Unica Home

Pattern Body Washes
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...

Skin MD
Not all lotions are created equal. There are those that create a surface barrier, sealing moisture in, and others that use ingredients (called humectants) to attract moisture from the air. Skin MD, a new natural formulation of plant extracts and emollients does both and does it better. Using a new humectant that's six times more effective than the glycerin most often found in standard...

(MALIN+GOETZ) Travel Kit
I've been a fan of (MALIN+GOETZ) since they launched a year and a half ago; their body cleanser was a no brainer replacement for the Kiehl's I had grown tired of. Their soaps and moisturizers synthesize natural botanical ingredients with an advanced performance technology. And the packaging, designed by 2x4, is a great modern-minimal interpretation of old fashioned chemist labels. Just in time for...

Neon Shoes
Designed from pieces of hand-painted leather, these sexy men's-style dress shoes recently premiered at Neon's winter fashion show and bring action and color to any get-up. The Brazilian label's co-designer Dudu Bertholini has been collecting leftover painted cow skin—some of them rare—from his trips abroad to New York and throughout his home country, at last finding the best use for them. Because he only...

Von Totebags and T-Shirts
Award-winning London based illustrator Von has long been a CH favorite so when he decided to launch a range of tees and totes we grabbed the chance to find out more. Why did you decide to brand into fashion now? As much as t-shirts have been done a million times before I still get excited when I come across a really nice design printed...
