keep clean with citrus...

Last month I posted about Pattern, the new product line offering cleansers in refreshingly new scents suitable for hair, face or body. I've tried the citrus moisturizing body wash and was pleased. This all natural wash is great as a shower gel. The scent was faint, not too overpowering. The best part? The consistency works great for doubling as a shave gel! Available online at Pattern.

Think.Wash.Repeat...

Think, wash, repeat... is the motto for this new body wash by Pattern that claims to be the finest all natural skin cleanser. 100% Vegan, no synthetic fragrances, no toxins and available in intriguing scents such as black pepper and cucumber. Nice clean packaging design as well, can't wait to try this out...

a soap for every purpose...

EO, a pure and organic product company exclusively produced an all purpose soap for Whole Foods Market. This natural plant based soap can be used on the body, washing fruits and vegetables or household cleaning. The soap is offered in three scents, peppermint, lavender or lemon. All refreshingly organic!

designer/"product junkie" turned soap maker...

I came across the website for The Bubble Roome and fell for the packaging! Simply beautifully designed. I then discovered that the products are made with "goodness" and knew I had to post them on flawless beauty! I have not yet had the chance to try these but am going to do so the next time I'm shopping the boutiques in Brooklyn (where the company is based out of).

What I really like about The Bubble Roome is that a lot of thought was put into the packaging and shelf appeal. If you have been following the inspiration posts, you know why shelf appeal is so important to me! The Bubble Roome founder David E. Johnston has a design background and is a self-proclaimed "product junkie". These products also make perfect gifts, being as cute as they are...

lets talk goat soap...

From what I have read, the benefits of goat milk are legendary. Goat milk has been used for centuries as a luxurious beauty aid. The low pH level of goat milk is close to our skin's pH, making it a very gentle cleanser. Goat milk also contains alpha-hydroxy acids, which are known for their restorative and rejuvenating qualities. People who have skin allergies, eczema and dry/itchy winter skin are also frequently users of goat milk soap.

My favorite thing about goat soap is how soft my skin feels afterwards. My skin also never feels dry which is why I used to shy away from using bar soaps. Basically it really moisturizes while it cleanses and is completely natural (make sure you purchase from a natural farmer/vendor). You can find all sorts of different scents, sizes and mixtures of goat milk soap. My favorite is just a giant raw bar of it, this can also be used as a base to make scented soap. So where can you get your bar of goat milk soap? I find that the local farmers market usually has a great selection of homemade soaps to choose from, or your local health food store will carry goat milk soap as well. Online you can learn more about goat milk soap and order from Natures Whey Farm and Colestin Caprines.
