On health: 10 environmentally friendly details for home and body

Looks like fashion for everything organic is with us for a long time, and this is a lot of advantages. Everyone’s relationship with eco-products is different: someone cares about the fair trade principle when choosing tea and opposes animal testing, buying creams exclusively with the label "Leaping Bunny", and someone just decides to try something new and get a sponge from root vegetables. We chose 10 eco-friendly and organic trifles that will delight the composition and effect.

Sponge konnyaku for body The Konjac Sponge Company

Konnyaku (or amorphophallus cognac) is a root crop that has been used in Japan, China and Korea for more than 1500 years in all imaginable fields, from light industry to medicine and cooking. Not so long ago, there was a worldwide boom in sponge konnyaku face, but also produce sponges for the body. Responsible and extremely "green" company The Konjac Sponge Company makes natural ergonomic sponges from horse meat grown on the volcanic plains of the UNESCO-protected Jeju Island in South Korea. The sponge acts as a soft but effective peeling, and regular use allows you to forget about the ingrown hairs. On sale there are sponges with a loofah admixture, with red, pink or green clay and bamboo charcoal. It is hard to believe in the miraculous power of clay from a washcloth, but the shades are beautiful.

Acca Kappa Natural Toothpaste

There are not so many personal care products that get inside us, and toothpaste is one of them, so it would not hurt to pay more attention to its composition. Unlike many others, Acca Kappa toothpaste does not contain sodium fluoride and sodium laureth sulfate, which are considered toxic, and also devoid of dyes and parabens. Extracts of eucalyptus and sage in combination with essential oils of anise and mint not only fight bacteria, but also smell divinely. With this paste, you want to brush your teeth a little longer, for which the dentist will only praise you.

Tata Harper Moisturizing Body Oil

Some claim that there is nothing better for skin than pure jojoba or coconut oil, and there is no need to overpay for a beautiful bottle and a pleasant smell. But, firstly, a beautiful bottle and a pleasant smell are also a pleasure, and secondly, the choice of natural oils should be approached carefully. You can start exploring oil textures with a proven tool, such as Tata Harper Body Recovery Oil, a cure-all of beauty editors and celebrities. If you believe the instructions, the oil containing extracts of arnica and calendula, as well as the active ingredients of essential oils of geranium and grapefruit, improves microcirculation and keeps skin young. We are ready to vouch for effective hydration and reduction of peeling, which is especially pleasing after a harsh winter.

Archipelago soy scented candles

Soy candles burn "cleaner" than paraffin, - from them less smoke and soot. In addition, soy wax burns slower, so being environmentally conscious becomes more economical. This alternative composition smells good and goes well with any flavor. Artchipelago candles are poured by hand and contain 70% of natural soy wax, their burning time is more than 90 hours, and the subtle smell remains in the room for a long time. We like the fragrance Agave Sage - with notes of agave, bergamot, sandalwood and sage.

Encha matcha tea

Tea of ​​the match, which is ground with granite stones in powder, has migrated from the tables of noble Japanese families of the 14th century to the morning diet of fitness enthusiasts and fans of everything useful. He is credited with a lot of useful properties - from detox and salvation with a hangover to fight cancer cells. It has been scientifically proven that the concentration of antioxidants EGCG-catechins in a match is 137 times higher than in regular green tea. The match is awesome, although it contains half the caffeine than coffee - hence the fashion for the so-called match latte. With this bright green powder, you can have fun in different ways - add to desserts and even to noodle dough. We have not yet raised any questions about the quality of tea match, the Encha brand popular in the US and Europe, founded by Stanford University professor Lee Gong. There are also trade-off options, for example, a blend of whole-leaf teas with powdered fair trade Pukka match.

Crabtree & Evelyn Talc-Free Body Powder

Body powder will have to be useful during trainings and on long journeys - it keeps the skin dry for a long time, protects it from microtraumas at the simulators and when working with a barbell or weights, prevents skin irritation. In this case, body powder often contains talc, and according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, talc is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." This is not yet the ultimate truth, but for those who prefer not to take risks, eco-alternatives have been created that do not contain talc. The Crabtree & Evelyn brand produces a pleasantly smelling and effectively absorbing body powder based on organic corn and oat starch and minerals, while other manufacturers also have cereal-free options.

Bath Salt vs. Molton Brown Fasteners

Massage or sauna helps to relieve light muscle pain after an intense workout, but there is a cheaper and faster way - a hot bath with salt. Here it is better to act proactively and take a bath on the day of training (the main thing is not immediately after, so as not to put the heart and blood vessels to the test). Molton Brown is a good choice: thermal salts combined with birch and cedar extracts and incense will soothe thoughts and relax muscles. Those who are sensitive to odors and prefer a minimum of components, you can stay on the pure salt of the Dead Sea, such as Ahava.

Olivia Garden bamboo comb

It is believed that wooden combs are better than plastic or metal, because they do not produce a static effect and evenly distribute sebum, the natural protective layer of hair and scalp, over hair. With this you can argue, but you can check on personal experience. The Olivia Garden brand, based in Belgium, has been providing hairdressing salons with professional accessories for 50 years, including bamboo hairbrushes - they are stronger and more durable than wooden ones. To unravel the hair, choose a scallop with wide teeth, an oval massage comb with an ion pillow is suitable for shining hair, and hairdressers recommend a round brush from a boar bristle for volumetric styling with a hairdryer. For those who prefer to run on freedom, analogues with ionic teeth are created.
