Label Whore
That nasty red stinging cheek rash came from your newest beauty regime. Pondering the label, you wonder, "Was the culprit the Polyquaternium-10, DMDM Hydantoin, or the Sodium Lauroamphoacetate?" Excuse me? Well that’s one problem you’ll never have with new "ecocentric" body and skincare line Pangea Organics, named for the supercontinent of 200 million years ago. Herbal ingredients are grown in Boulder, Colorado, while the essential oils are from places like Madagascar, Tunisia, and Egypt. Packaged in brown medicinal-like bottles with overlaid botanical etchings, the product’s labels not only impart all of the non-synthetic, non-artificial, petroleum and sulfate-free ingredients, but also explain their functions. For instance, in the French Rosemary with Sweet Orange facial toner, the rosemary is an antioxidant and antiseptic that helps acne and fatigue. Plus, a portion of each purchase goes to Pangea Institute, a developing non-profit that researches sustainable living, so you can feel good about getting pretty. $6.99-$25.99, pangeaorganics.com
