Top Ten Favourite Products

Last month we made a top ten list of our best-selling products. This month we've decided to make a list of some of our favourite products - a lot of these are good sellers anyway, but we feel these should be on our top-selling list because they're so great! Read on to find out what products we just love:

  1. Dr Hauschka Rythmic Conditioners: Dr Hauschka's alternative to night-time lotion... still don't completely understand them, but what we do know is that they make your skin look and feel really fantastic!


  2. Suncoat Hairspray: Works great and the most natural ingredients we've ever come across in a hairspray.


  3. John Masters Rosemary Peppermint Detangler: Smells incredible, works great - we know why this is an Oprah favourite.


  4. Peacekeeper Lip Gloss: Not sticky! And the colours are sheer and gorgeous.


  5. Dr Hauschka Lipstick: Beautiful lipsticks... the best neutral colours we've ever tried.


  6. Suncoat Mascara: Excellent natural mascara and great value.


  7. Aroma Borealis Fairy Salve: My daughters couldn't live without this... stops crying from boo boos on contact.


  8. Aura Cacia Mists: Smell awesome and a fantastic natural alternative to nasty bathroom sprays.


  9. Dr Mist Body Spray: Excellent as a deodorant and also works really well to stop bug bites from itching.


  10. Juice Beauty SPF 15: Great natural moisturizing sunscreen.

Ingredients

Q - What are sulphates and why are they bad?


A - Sulphates (sodium lauryl sulfate is the most popular) are cleaners and are in most products like shampoo, hand wash, toothpaste, etc. They're used because they're cheap, they clean well, they foam well, and they thicken products well. Unfortunately they also dry out hair and skin, can cause eczema, and combined with other ingredients, they may form carcinogenic nitrosamines; some studies have also shown that they damage the DNA structure within cells. This is a great example of an ingredient that on its own is not good, but combined with other ingredients become even worse because it may form into a carcinogen.
