Celebrity Toothbrush
You may have seen the Recycline money-maker – the Preserve toothbrush – in the critically acclaimed film Stranger than Fiction. Their toothbrush is completely recyclable and made primarily from Stoneyfield Farm yogurt cups. It’s unique curved design and supremely soft bristles actually makes brushing your teeth less of a chore. But don’t let Recycline’s movie-star toothbrush outshine the rest of their stellar line of inexpensive and practical products. They also have a full line of dishwasher safe tableware that is perfect for picnics or at-home snacks.
The Juiciest Beauty Line on Earth
Within days of following a Juice Beauty regimen, you will see noticeable improvement in your skin. The skincare line uses up to 95% organic ingredients, including an anti-oxidant rich juice base – not water base – for their wonderful moisturizers, serums and cleansers. Not only do their products smell and feel great, they actually work: for dark circles under your eyes, their organic grape and carrot juice Smoothing Eye Concentrate is a must have.
Green Doggies
The only thing better than buying socially-responsible goodies for your pooch, is helping out deserving pet charities in the process. With Planet Dog, you can do both. Their virtually indestructible and mint-flavored chew toys are recyclable and resemble fruits and vegetables. With every purchase from their website, the company donates a portion of the proceeds to the Planet Dog Foundation, which supports programs for service dogs.
Shower with Nature
Pangea Organics is a luxury “ecocentric” body care company that will provide you with one of the best shower gel on Earth – made out of ingredients from the Mother Nature herself. The super-concentrated, plant-based gels are made entirely without detergents, synthetic preservatives or sulfates. Their modestly-priced gels also come in environmentally-friendly packaging that, once you remove the product, can be soaked in water and planted in your garden! In no time, the organic seed-infused packaging sprouts plant life.
Because You Gotta Have Chocolate
No, you’re not dreaming – studies have shown tremendous health benefits of eating dark chocolate in moderation. Environmentally conscious companies like Dagoba make savoring the bittersweet taste of dark chocolate oh so much easier. Helping to build “self-sufficiency in cacao sourcing countries through equitable prices and technical assistance,” Dagoba is doing its part to build communities while it provides consumers with guilt-free chocolate that has been praised by Food & Wine Magazine and CNN as the “best”.
