Go Naked the Next Time You Purchase Bath and Body Products

The other night I went to a product launch for Herban Lifestyle’s Naked line of bath and body products which are made without colors, fragrances, preservatives, or chemical additives. Why is that stuff is bad for you? Take a FEW minutes and watch The Story of Cosmetics.

Herban Lifestyle uses only the highest quality natural, organic, and fair trade ingredients that have been minimally processed and void of any harsh chemicals. The line includes body butter, belly balm, mineral soak, bath tea, healing salve, lip balm, body soap, facial soap, facial masque, and facial toner.

Herban Lifestyle’s Naked line is particularly good for people with allergies and skin sensitivities because they are made without essential oils which require large amounts of precious plants and, since they have potent medicinal properties, many are contraindicated for pregnant and nursing women. Instead, Naked products are scented with herbs, oils, salts, hydrosols, and dried flowers.

And what makes this company particularly attractive to me is that Herban Lifestyle TRULY cares about their impact on the earth. ALL Naked products come in glass or aluminum containers with 100% recycled labels. I LOVE IT! Also, they are a member of the Green America Green Business Network and The Coalition for Consumer Information on Cosmetics.

The other cool thing is that 10% of gross sales from the Naked line are donated to non-profits promoting the health and wellbeing of people and the planet. Proceeds from the event I went to benefitted Miriam’s Kitchen in Washington, DC.

So if you are a bride looking for gifts for your maids, or if you are an event producer putting together a basket of toiletries to place in restrooms for your next black tie affair, consider going Naked!
