AVEDA
Environmental Compact Essentials

One of our favorite companies, AVEDA, has done it again. Their latest - a new recycled lipstick/compact that you won't mind whipping out for reapplications the next time you're in Air. Not only is the sleek compact made of recycled aluminum (50%), it's also customizable. Keep up with the seasons with your lip hue of choice and reuse it time and time again. Now that's EcoChic! Available in Aveda stores and spas.

Eko Block Soap

Leave Sephora to the average, the beautiful people are all using Eko's Block Soap. Their master craftsmen use only the finest ingredients in their month-long all natural soap making process. Why all the fuss? The extensive process removes excess alkali - a major irritant to sensitive skin. Always gentle, hypoallergenic and completely natural, no wonder they call it the mildest soap on Earth! I don't know about that, but it left my face as soft as Teri Hatcher's bottom. (Oh my) the soap comes in two flavors, Patchouli Hemp and Lemongrass. When cut to regular size, the bulk EkoBlock yields ten bars. Or have it cut to your preference and throw in some travel sized bars. Now that's what I call soap.

Eko Herbal Salt Scrub

Rough, dry, or bumpy skin? (I'm talking about your face, not your bum!) Herbal Salt Scrubs were created to smooth away rough spots while deeply moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Eko's Spa Herbal Treatment combines the healing properties of five luxurious therapies: Celtic Sea Salts, Herbal Infusions, Aromatherapy, Ayurvedic Oil Blend and Natural Vitamin E. After this scrub you will look like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston (before the split). The choice is yours.

Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap

Wow! This soap is a force to be reckoned with. It's strong enough to erase even your memory of being dirty. I feel so damn clean right now, I could squeak. Really! Dr. Bronner's soaps are biodegradable and made from 100% organic vegetable oils. But the real reason I heart this soap - it has the most wing-nutty label I've ever seen on a product. Anywhere. Ever.

"Pussy Pucker Pots"
Vegan Lip Balm

According to the no ovo-lacto set, there is only one vegan lip balm out there that doesn't suck-Pussy Pucker Pots. Sure, they may be a little more expensive than the average lip balm. But given that lanolin (a.k.a sheep fat) is the primary ingredient in every non-vegan lip balm out there, would you cover your sweet pucker with anything less. With hilariously racy names like "Strawberry Snatch" and "Chocolate Nipple Ripple", they are an instant ice breaker with chapped-lip hotties. Use wisely, they are not for the bashful or easily offended.

JASON Tea-tree oil
hand and face wash

With finicky skin like mine, soap is serious business. Luckily, JASON is as serious about face wash as I am. Made from only the best ingredients, JASON's Teatree Oil Face Wash gets it right. My skin felt fresh and clear, but not dry -thanks to the soothing chamomile. The pump dispenser is super convenient, too --- you'll never wanna go back to your regular ol' bar-o-soap.
