I recently discovered an online store called Body Sense. Their motto is " making healthier choices easy." They sell personal care products such as shampoo, lotions, soaps, cleaners, and baby care items. They select products that have safe and favorable ratings from the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep's database. I have been using this resource for a few years already to check the ratings on my products I like. Most items from toothpaste, lotions, disinfectants, or nail polish have ingredients that you do not recognize, understand, or probably can't pronounce. Have you ever wondered what they are? You should, because there is a good chance it may not be the best for you if don't recognize it. It's very easy to use and for any product you enter, it will clearly explain the ingredients and give you a rating .
Some of the products on Body Sense's website I knew and some I even use such as Dr. Bronner's soap and Badger Balm, but there were a lot that I have never heard of. Here are my new 2 top picks from Body Sense:
Baby Organic 2 in 1 Coconut Foam Shampoo & Body Wash: It is made of water, organic saponified coconut oil, and organic coconut extract. This is a very pure product that is gluten free, organic and vegan. What I like is it's mild coconut scent and the creamy foam lather. I was shocked how squeaky...I mean squeaky clean your skin feels after using it. I have to admit that I don't use it as a shampoo or body wash for my daughter but as a hand soap. She loves it and it really gets her hands clean without the use of harmful chemicals.
Keys Soap Mangrove Natural Concentrated Hair Conditioner: I like this because I need a good conditioner for my daughter's curly hair without the silicone. "More than 95% of all hair conditioners available over the counter or from salons contain a form of silicone. Many contain multiple forms of the chemical to coat and encase the hair shaft. The results are a high shine that leaves hair very organized. The problem with silicones is that they coat the scalp and pores as equally as they do the hair. Many dermatologists believe that silicones along with sulfates are a primary cause of premature baldness in men and women. To address this, Keys searched the world for a natural conditioner ingredient that would operate like silicone, but without the negative properties. What they discovered was a natural conditioner called Brassica. It resembles pure natural coconut, but without the stripping characteristics of coconut. It has a low acidity level so it mirrors the skin and scalp condition. Mangrove Conditioner contains Brassica and other natural oils in a concentrated conditioning cream. Mangrove conditioner is also great for your pets." It is made of: Avocado Oil, Shea Butter, Black Cumin Oil, Aloe Vera, Brassica Oil, Blood Orange & Sage Essential Oils, Purified Water, Vegetable Glycerin, and Vegetable Wax.Coupon Code
