Botot Toothpaste
(09 November 2007) - 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.

Lulu Organics Hair Powder
(17 October 2007) - Hair washing in cold weather is a tedious burden for those of us with long locks, not to mention the health risks. I don’t have the time or patience to blow dry before braving the elements, which is where the Hair Powder “for hair on days of unwash” from Lulu Organics comes in. It soaks up the shine and leaves my hair smelling great...

Aesop
(17 October 2007) - For the entire month of October, cosmetic retailer Aesop transformed their signature space in Fitzroy, Melbourne into a book store containing nothing but hundreds of copies of "Seventeen Poisoned Englishmen." The store looks amazing, and not only do we love such a quirky statement but we've got the word on how and why. Why was Gabriel Garcia Marquez chosen as the featured author? There are...

Aesop
(13 July 2007) - We've always been a fan of the Australian skincare company Aesop. Firstly, because their products are made from good, healthy ingredients rather than nasty petroleum derivatives, and secondly, because they keep it real in their marketing messages, preferring not to subscribe to mainstream cosmetic practices and claims of anti-aging. The new starter pack for men quotes Albert Einstein on the box, "A man should...

Skin MD
(03 January 2007) - 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...

Sharps Killer Shave Set
(12 December 2006) - You will be forgiven for anything if you have a clean shave. Late for work? As long as there’s no hair on your face, it’s okay. Murder someone? A clean shave will get your sentence reduced by at least 12 months (unless you're Saddam Hussein). So given the importance of a clean shave, I highly recommend Sharps’ line of shaving products. One of the...

(MALIN + GOETZ) Synthesized Lotus
(16 March 2006) - I don't usually wear a scent—they typically give me a headache or make me sneeze. A couple months back I dropped in on our friends at (MALIN + GOETZ) and they gave me a preview of their new pair of unisex scents, Synthesized Lotus Root and Rum Tonic. Lotus Root, or Sophisticated Hippie as I've been calling it, really stuck in my head. Combining...

Malin+Goetz Video Installation
(07 February 2006) - Malin+Goetz store between 5pm and 2am this evening. The shampoo and body product store is running videos of male and female models indulging in Malin+Goetz products while in the shower. (Sans towel). The display will certainly shock some, bemuse others, and titillitate a few. But that's a time-tested strategy behind PR gurus Gorilla Kingdom who designed and produced the project. New videos will be added...

(MALIN+GOETZ) Travel Kit
(03 June 2005) - 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...

Pacific Shaving Oil
(21 April 2005) - This may seem a bit off-topic, but trust me, it's good. I hate shaving. I only do it once a week-- it's uncomfortable, time consuming and if done frequently the resulting irritation is rather unattractive. Enter Pacific Shaving Oil. Several drops of this magic potion is way more effective than anything I've used before. I get a quick, smooth shave and the bottle is...
