Blissoma Skincare: 100% Natural

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Blissoma is a line of skincare solutions that is 100% natural.  It describes itself as “a compact range of bio-conscious skincare focused on raw, organic, unprocessed, and nutrient dense ingredients.”

The full line includes 4 moisturizers, 2 toners, a brown rice cream cleanser, creamy Rhassoul clay mask, and an antioxidant sprayable lotion (used for the prevention and healing of UV damage).

Thanks to Julie, I was lucky to have the opportunity to try the cleanser, one of the moisturizers, and one of the toners (images above).

The mild rice cleanser is exactly how it sounds: mild and white, with a medium thickness, and a touch of oil.

The toner is very light and refreshing.  It comes in a mist bottle which can be sprayed onto the skin or onto a facial pad.

The evening facial creme is pea-green in color with a thin consistency.  It’s mildness makes it well suited for a thin application before bed.

I found all three products to live up to Blissoma’s claim of being just one step away from original plant materials.  They’re earthy, fresh and mild.   I wouldn’t prescribe them for a teenage boy with an acne problem, but for anyone with all-around healthy skin looking for upkeep with ingredients they can feel good about, I would recommend this line.

Take a closer look and purchase at Blissoma online or at select Whole Foods stores.


Every Man Jack Personal Care Products

Saturday, March 28th, 2009

At our house, and no doubt many others, there’s a difference of opinion regarding “green” personal products.  One of us prefers the environmentally-friendly, low-chemical brands while the other insists that the products actually work.

Every Man Jack hair and body products are groundbreaking in that they’re both at once.

Every Man Jack packaging uses 100% recyclable materials.  Their products contain no parabens, sodium lauryl sulfates, dyes, phthalates, synthetic fragrances or testrasodium EDTA.  What’s more, they never test on animals.

And… they work!  (According to the man of the house.)  The shampoo effectively cleans, the body wash efficiently cleanses, and the lotion really does moisturize.

Now we need an Every Girl Jane.  Please?
