Rainbow Research Organic Detangler and Conditioner




Find the detangling conditioner in the baby shampoo section of Whole Foods. I use this as a conditioner after shampooing.
I just noticed that they make a conditioner for adults
too. I haven't seen this at any of the 4 Whole Food Stores in north Chicago, but have seen the Detangling Conditioner for kids. You can order from Vitacost.com (my favorite online store for organic products and personal care products).

EMINENCE ORGANICS

I've discovered a product line which appears to be quite pure and organic.
It's a line called Eminence . (Out of Hungary)
I haven't gone through each and every product of theirs. But the Tomato Sun Cream SPF 16 has been the one slice of heaven that I look forward to every morning, after I put it on my face. It smells wonderful.
In Chicago, I know Studio Within and Skin 1 on Lake Shore Drive do. You can sample this line at both locations.
Each company who's product I feature, does not mean that I stand by each and every item they make. Please examine the ingredients of every thing you purchase. Ingredients can be all found online, by Googling in search of them.

PERIO BRITE TOOTHPASTE and TROPICAL COVE

My two new favorite products. I have been using both (at the same time) Tropical Cove deodorant and Pit Putty. The Pit Putty keeps the arm pit dry longer. Then for the toothpaste which I order from http://vitacost.com/ is PerioBrite and it is organic and minus SLS and the usual suspects.
Google for the complete organic ingredients list. They're magnificant.

These are the pristine ingredients in Tropical Cove.

PIT PUTTY

So happy to say that I've discovered the best deodorant of all. Even though I was quite pleased with the Wilderness Family one and will keep my unfinished deodorant in my handbag, for touch ups. I will make a definite switch. It's called "Pitt Putty". It comes in a glide stick. To use, make sure you read the directions on the outer cover. Use over a sink because it can crumble. The concept is to rub it into your armpit. If you have white clumps, just rub them into the whole pit area. This brand actually keeps you dry for a long time. It's a similar formula with a couple extra perks to keep you dry. The geranium one smells great. They can be purchased online at Bumble and Bee Organics. See the Bumble and Bee website for their other natural products. (Make sure you look at the ingredients of anything else before purchasing. I know the Pitt Putty is totally non toxic and totally organic)
So check it out and stay dryer!
