Ecoist works with Trees for the Future to plant trees in areas that have been affected by industrial development, natural disasters, fires, and other causes.

Moisture Leave In Hair ConditionerWhat’s not to love in 100% natural products?
The ingredients in them, the philosophy of the brand, it’s a win-win situation according to us. Ok, but the results? The results are astonishing, my friends. I was looking for the perfect hair conditioner (picture this: long, naturally wavy auburn hair that hates styling, hates any kind of weather, not frizzy but… how can I put this delicately, savage) and I think I finally found it.
I introduce you to Best Bath Store’s Moisture Leave In Hair Conditioner.
Best Bath Store does not test on animals and only sources raw
materials from companies who do not test on animals.
This leave in treatment is infused with natural ingredients that moisturize and hydrate, and turn your frizzy, brittle tresses into shiny, healthy-looking locks.
Over-processed hair, too, is sure to become manageable and easy to care for.

How to use:
For normal use, apply a nut-size amount of conditioner on washed, damp hair; comb through with a wide-tooth comb.
On extremely dry hair you can use this conditioner as a pre-shampoo mask twice a month: simply apply a generous amount on tresses 30 minutes before hitting the shower. Then wash as usual.
You won’t believe how silky and healthy your hair looks!

The all-natural list of ingredients is: Shea Butter, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Kukui Nut Oil, Silk Protein, Vitamin E, Rosemary & Lavender Essential Oils.

Moisture Leave In Hair Conditioner is available online at Best Bath Store.
ps: shipping is free if you spend more than $25!

Our staff of editors has happily spread, sniffed and tested quite a few creams and butters. The one we’ve voted as best is O’my Goodness Pink Grapefruit Organic Body Cream by Treat Beauty.

What sets this body cream apart?
The 100% organic formula of O’my Goodness is a mix of healing organic plants and flower extracts each carefully selected for its soothing powers:

  • Tamanu Oil deeply conditions the skin;
  • Lavander heals inflammed, stressed skin;
  • Rosehip, Coconut, Flax, Sunflower and Borage Oils restore suppleness to dry skin;
  • finally, the invigorating aroma of delicious pink grapefruit essential oil is refreshing to both body and mind.

    Bonus points:
    - O’my Goodness lanolin, parabens and fragrance-free formula received approval from the ECOCERT Organic Certification Board - one of the leading international organic certification marks, accredited by the USDA National Organic Program.
    - Treat Beauty proudly displays PETA’s cruelty-free bunny logo because they have joined PETA’s Caring Consumer Project: they and their suppliers do not conduct or commission animal tests on ingredients, formulations, or finished products, and that they will not do so in the future.
