The Dirt on Organic Personal Care

In living a sustainable lifestyle, it makes sense to look for different ways to integrate eco awareness into your life. The most impactful areas of our lives are those that we do by habit. Take personal care, for instance. As a personal consultant, I hear client's concerns that mainstream manufacturers of personal care products use known or suspected toxic ingredients in their product formulas.

Fortunately, there are some wonderful organic personal products available today. I'm going to highlight some of the favorites given to me by our clients in our sustainability consulting sessions.

Saffron Rouge:The source for organic skincare and aromatherapy. One sustainability concept is to purchase locally. If purchasing organic skincare locally isn't available to you, this is the place to go! They offer everything from face and hair care, cosmetics, for women, men, and babies.

Dr. Hauschka, Jurlique, and Welda are three of my personal favorites due to their use of biodynamic harvesting in the making of their products.

Others to check out: Tom's of Maine, Aubrey Organics, Jason, and Burt's Bees.

In living a sustainable lifestyle, using organic personal care products is not only good for you, but it's also good for the environment and good for businesses. Your support in purchasing and continual use of these products exercises your vote in expanding the organic consciousness into the mainstream. It also encourages companies to incorporate the environmental principals that these companies demonstrate.
