This Is Green editor Jan M. takes a look at Burt’s Bees Organic Super Shiny Grapefruit & SugarBeet Shampoo. Made up of 98.02% organic ingredients, this shampoo delivers as promised, leaving hair soft, shiny, and easy to comb.

Burt’s Bees products are gentle and effective, with good for you ingredients that do what they promise. I’m already addicted to the lotions and lip balms. This shampoo is next on my must-have list!


Freeze 24/7: Wash On Your Sunscreen

Freeze 24/7 Ice Shield CleanserI recently tried Freeze 24/7 Ice Shield Facial Cleanser. It contains Sunscreen with an SPF 15 and UVA/UVB protection that will protect your skin from the sun just by washing your face. But won’t you wash it off by rinsing? No. The package reads, “A revolutionary innovative encapsulation technology allows Ice Shield™ to bind sunscreen to the skin while a mild cleansing system washes away dirt and impurities.” Worth a try? Yes!

Touted as the “world’s first” in preventative anti-aging skincare, all you need to do is wash your face to reap the benefits. We all know the dangers of those damaging rays of the sun by now, but it’s so easy to get lazy about sunscreen. Hey, I was going to wash my face anyway, so why not?

Obviously the application is easy, and it rinses off like an ordinary cleanser – without that greasy sunscreen feel. Bonus – protection without really trying AND the cleanser left my skin feeling soft and smooth. The ingredients include White Willow extract for skin clarity, White Tea extract for antioxidant properties and for added UV protection, and Coconut extract (mmmm, coconut) for skin hydration. Plus it’s got all of those perks I like to see: Hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, non-phototoxic and FDA approved effective as a sunscreen.

Extra Kudos: No animal testing, no animal by-products, and it is recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation as an effective UV Sunscreen.

You’ve got no excuse now! Shield your skin from those damaging and AGING rays, just wash on your protection Freeze 24/7 Ice Shield Facial Cleanser.

Ojon is a Style Do!

Ojon Restorative TreatmentHave you tried Ojon? I have one question…. what are you waiting for? Ojon™ Hair is a treatment-based line of haircare products designed to nourish the hair and scalp to restore healthy, natural beauty. Ojon oil is harvested and extracted by the Tawira – using their traditional methods (love that) – as they has been for centuries. From Central America it travels to a small village in Northern Italy where the oil is filtered and purified in order to preserve its potency. It’s got a fabulous nutty, somewhat chocolately smell that’s absoultely delish and the results are divine!

A little goes a long way, too. I like to put the restorative treatment on my hair before bed and let it work its magic while I sleep. This stuff melts right into my hair like buttah! Love it, love it, love it. The results are healthy, shiny, more manageable strands the next day, without that flat, way too soft look. Nope just hydrated, silky and manageable. A little goes a long way, so use sparingly!

Never causes build up, always leaves my locks looking great. Looks like bigger IS better!
