Exfoliating is an essential step in your skin care routine. It gets rid of dead skin cells, improving brightness, tone and even helps keep breakouts at bay. In order to accomplish this, you need a quality scrub that uses rich and nourishing ingredients to avoid redness and over-exfoliation. This fine-textured blend of tiny Dead Sea Salt crystals is formulated with natural astringents, lime and lemon peel, as well as antioxidants such as grapeseed and vitamin E. Use once or twice a week for smoother, healthier and younger-looking skin.
One way to take your relaxing bath to the next level is to drop in a scented and fizzy bath bomb. They smell incredible and provide some seriously nourishing benefits, from moisturizing to detoxifying. It is, however, smart to choose your bath bombs wisely — some are loaded with synthetic scents and dangerous ingredients, including phthalates and other hormone-disrupting chemicals. This Whole Foods brand is different. Pacha Soap offers a variety of fun, artisanal froth bombs made with all-natural, environmentally-safe ingredients and without the use of phthalates, parabens or silicones.
Launched back in the late '90s, Naturtint was officially the first permanent hair coloring product produced without the use of ammonia. To this day, its ingredient list is primarily plant-based, which is a big reason why it's landed in the Whole Body section of Whole Foods. Not only does it live up to the standards and core values, but customers love its ability to provide vibrant, long-lasting color without simultaneously introducing their scalp to harsh chemicals, like ammonia, parabens or resorcinol, like many of its competitors.
The ultimate fix-all for dry, chapped and colorless lips, especially during the wintertime? A moisturizing lip shade that's made with natural, non-drying ingredients, like this lipstick butter from Mineral Fusion. Its starring ingredients — cocoa seed butter, avocado oil, cranberry seed oil and shea butter — are free of parabens, phthalates, artificial colors and fragrances, are hypo-allergenic and 100 percent vegan. The only difficulty comes with choosing one of their eight color options, though an easy solution is to just buy them all.
The goal of a quality night cream is not just to hydrate, but to nourish and fortify the skin while you're at rest. Your face is free from motion and safe from environmental toxins, aka free radicals, making it the ideal time to apply something stronger than your go-to day cream. But this doesn't mean you need something that contains an ingredient list you can't pronounce. Derma E's night cream moisturizes and plumps the skin to relax fine lines and wrinkles with a slew of natural ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamins C and E and aloe. It's void of anything harmful — no parabens, sulfates, GMOs or irritating ingredients like lanolin and mineral oil.
