Expo East

This last weekend I ventured down to Baltimore, MD for the Natural Products Expo East 2012!  My Mum and I had a blast searching out products for our new store, Sasha's Naturals.  I can't wait to start selling some of the great products we found.

My all around fave for product, packaging and just general fabulousness has to be love & toast. They have wonderful smelling face and body care, with all natural ingredients (of course!) What I really love is the packaging is fun and sophisticated and appealing enough even for my very fashion-conscious 11-year old.

Another cool line for young girls is called Sparklehearts. Again they're all natural but have really had some fun with their packaging and scents.  I'm dying to try their deodorant (which they also make for adults) and their body lotions smell great (and they make you sparkle too!). They also have some consciousness-raising sets such as PeTA Dirt Free Hurt Free Gift Set. I'm so happy to see some skin-care aimed at the tween/teen set!

Dolphin Organics

Another product line I got to try at the expo was Dolphin Organics.  These products are aimed at Moms with new babies, and now also for older girls (there seems to be a theme with this!)  I tried their sunscreen as I'm having a hard time finding a sunscreen I feel comfortable using.

There are too many natural products out there that look like I've rubbed diaper cream all over myself - not cool. The alternative with nano-particles is actually being shown to CAUSE skin cancer (doubly not cool).

This sunscreen however was great!  It did cover slightly but it looked more like a glow than a paste.  I was pleasantly surprised.  It smells good too! Definitely going in my bag of necessities.
