October is Australian Organic Awareness Month so I thought it would be a good idea to join in and spread the word about organic beauty and hygiene products. Our skin absorbs everything we put on our skin which then ends up in our blood stream. It has been said that the average woman puts up to 515 synthetic chemicals on her body every day - that is a lot! Here are my favourite Australian Certified Organic beauty and personal hygiene products. I highly recommend them all. Please comment or email if you do decide to try them and let me know what you think.
~ People for Plants Day Cream, Eye Cream & Lip Balm ~
One of my best friends originally recommended People for Plants to me when my skin was at its worst and I've been using their products ever since. I love that their packaging states what percentage of their products are certified organic - something I think that should be legalised if a brand is going to label themselves as organic. The above products are what I use daily and love. Go to their website here to purchase and find out more.
~ Kosmea Organic Rose Hip Oil ~
I've always had dry skin, especially when I get out of the shower. Kosmea's Organic Rose Hip Oil contains essential fatty acids which are perfect for rehydrating skin after a night time shower. Rose hip oil also helps reduce scars, damaged skin, stretch marks, wrinkles, and burns. To buy, go to Kosmea's website here.
~ Zuii Organic Blush, Eye Shadow, Lip Gloss & Lipstick ~
Can I just say, out of these four Zuii Organic products, my favourite is the blush. When I have it on I feel like my skin is glowing and so silky. At the moment this is the only lipstick colour I have purchased but I will definitely be buying a couple more colours soon. The lipstick looks best with the gloss over the top, I personally think the lipstick is too dry on its own. Head to their website here to purchase. Ps I am currently looking for an organic foundation that works for me (long lasting and not too many oil ingredients), please let me know if you can suggest one in the comments.
~ Black Chicken Organic Deodorant Paste ~
I love this deodorant! It's 100% natural (no aluminium - win!) and does the job unlike some other natural deodorants which still leave you smelly and self conscious. Black Chicken deodorant paste is perfect for men and women. The only downside is that you apply it with your hands, but that's nothing soap and water can't fix! Buy it here.
~ Riddells Creek Organic Toothpaste & Mouthwash ~
I've only recently started using organic toothpaste and mouthwash and so far I'm pretty happy with it. Of course it tastes different but it's free from the nasty chemicals commercial toothpastes and mouthwashes contain. Choose from either mint, lemon or herbal flavour here.
~ TOM Organic Pads ~
Ladies, are your sanitary products made with chemical free, unbleached cotton? If you're using some of the major brands on your grocery store shelf the answer is most likely no, or I don't know (I didn't know until about a year ago). TOM (Time Of the Month) Organic make tampons, pads, liners and more recently nursing pads from 100% certified organic cotton making them the healthiest option for your body. Find them in Woolworths and Coles or go to their website here.
Happy shopping! xx
