A Birthday Wish
Posted by: | CommentsHi everyone!
It’s my birthday today and I just wanted to put up a short post. I am also celebrating the last day of school too! (I am a teacher in my other life…lol.)
My birthday wish is to reach more and more women (and men too, for that matter) learn about the toxic ingredients in their daily personal care products. It’s my mission to help people make better beauty choices and learn how toxins and disease can be avoided. I appreciate your support in this and ask that you bookmark, share, and forward my blog posts so we can reach more and more people. I am enjoying this journey helping women go green with their beauty routine and I look forward to convincing everyone that it is “easy being green!”
Stay natural…stay beautiful…go green!
Green Gifts For Mother’s Day
Posted by: | CommentsMother’s Day is rapidly approaching! Do you already know what you’re getting for Mom? For that matter, for mom, grandma, auntie, and sisters? Here are some new ideas for you to help the special women in your life go green with their beauty routines!
Treat Mom with the best in organic beauty.
A great way to show them you care is to educate them about the toxicity of their beauty products. Our moms are probably still using the same products they used 30 years ago. Do they know about the diseases linked with many of the ingredients in personal care products? Help them out by pointing them to toxicbeautyblog.com and by getting them started in the right direction with greener and safer beauty products. Here are a few ideas.
Fragrance
Commercial perfume has dangerous hormone-mimicing phthalates in them. Mama doesn’t need any of that! Aubrey Organics has 4 delightful all natural fragrances for the special mom in your life. They are free of chemicals and designed especially for sensitive skin. Choose from Light Citrus Floral, Musk, Ocean Waters, or Spring Floral. At just $21.50 for a 2 oz spray atomizer, this is sure to please Mama’s senses!
Anti-aging Skin Solutions
Your mom will love you if you get her Aubrey Organics Lumessence Lift Firming Cream With CoQ10 Liposomes. It’s a fantastic moisturizer and face lift in a bottle! Give your mom the gift of firmer, smoother, and younger looking skin. And it’s made with all natural ingredients.
Mercola Healthy Skin
Treat mom with a USDA organic anti-aging skin care package from the nation’s leading natural health expert, Dr. Joseph Mercola. Packages are available for daily skin care, anti-aging, and anti-aging wrinkle control. Hydrating, safe, natural ingredients are coupled with essential oils to please the nose and spirit. Or choose organic body butters with essential oils in lavender, sweet orange, or unscented.
Watch this video for more information on Mercola Healthy Skin products and tips for anti-aging skin care.
Gift Certificates
Pure Complexions is one of my favorite online natural beauty stores. They carry only safe, non-synthetic, detergent free skin care, body care, cosmetics, fragrance, aromatherapy, home products, and pet care products. They cater to sensitive skin. This is a great gift idea if you’re really clueless about what to buy for Mom. You can purchase a gift certificate in $30, $50, $75, and $100 denominations.
If you were racking your brain for what to get mom on this special day, I hope I’ve made it a bit clearer for you. Moms have done so much for us….now it’s time to give back to Mom. Help all the mothers in your life be safer with their daily personal care routine. It may be the most precious gift of all.
Stay natural…stay beautiful…go green!

Are you a botanical beauty?
Posted by: | CommentsHello Toxic Beauty readers! I hope you enjoy this video on why and how to choose organic beauty products. It makes some great points about why it is important to delete synthetic products from your routine. The video mentions purchasing organic beauty products from the health food store but I want to remind you the Internet offers more affordable source for many beauty products, such as luckyvitamin.com. Enjoy and don’t forget to share your thoughts.
Stay natural…stay beautiful…go green!

Go Greeeeeen Tea!
Posted by: | Comments
Green tea is not only great for your heart, but for your skin and hair too.
Did the title catch your attention? I hope so…The benefits of drinking green tea are many: weight loss, increased metabolism, inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, and improving the immune system to name a few. Green tea contains EGCG, a powerful antioxidant which kills cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone. If green tea is not part of your daily diet, it should be.
Green tea is so healthy in our diet but what can it do in our beauty products? There are times when your hair needs a break from regular shampoo and needs a clarifying shampoo to remove buildup of styling products. Enter Aubrey Organics Green Tea Clarifying Shampoo.
It deep cleans and rinses well leaving the hair healthy and manageable. It contains herbal extracts and nutrients which make the hair easy to style and cuts down on dry time (who doesn’t need more time in their beauty routine??) Green tea and nettle extract protect hair and tone the scalp. Aloe replenishes moisture while almond protein strengthens hair fiber, fullness, and manageability. You will be so pleased when you use this shampoo as it contains so sulfates, parabens, or chemicals. It’s also vegan and is not tested on animals. Here are the complete ingredients:
INGREDIENTS: Deionized Water, Coconut Oil-Corn Oil Soap, Organic Green Tea Extract (Organic Green Tea, Organic Nettle, Natural Grain Alcohol), Organic Aloe Vera, Carrageenan, Organic Lemon Peel Oil, Almond Protein, Organic Blue Camomile Oil, Aubrey’s Preservative (Citrus Seed Extract, Vitamins A, C and E).
You can explore the entire line of green tea products at Aubrey Organics.
Another company who have tapped into the power of green tea is Burt’s Bees. They make a collection of products utilizing this wonder ingredient. I was able to find a Green Tea set at Marshall’s (I am always looking for deals!) It contained a 12 oz. shampoo, 12 oz. conditioner, 8 oz. hand soap, and a soap bar. Burt’s Bees Color Keeper Shampoo and Conditioner uses green tea and fennel seed to help preserve color. This is a good shampoo, but when compared with Aubrey, I definitely like the results from the Aubrey collection better. My hair seems to stay cleaner longer than when I use the Burt’s Bees. If you decide to try both lines, it is up to you to decide which you like better. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the benefits of green tea or what is has done for you. Please leave me a comment.
Until next time, stay natural… stay beautiful… go green(tea!) -Robin
