So on Black Friday (seems soooo long ago!), I was super nerdy and went looking for deals on all my fave stuff. I love Alba Botanica and I've been using their products for years! This sounds so odd, but lately I've been buying products/brands based on what ingredients they DON'T have in them. Here's what I like about them:
"Our products contain no meat or by-products of animal killing. We also reject all cruelly obtained animal ingredients, even if an animal is not killed. We limit our use of animal products to ingredients that are naturally created by and have no future use to the animal such as beeswax.
Alba Botanica® products are formulated without: parabens, phthalates, artificial colors, propylene glycol, aluminum, mineral oil, petrolatum, oxybenzone, PABA, nano-particles, DEA, MEA or TEA, PEGs and PEG derivatives, ethoxylated ingredients associated with 1,4 dioxane and formaldehyde donors."So I totally stocked up and got:
- NATURAL VERY EMOLLIENT BODY LOTION Unscented Original - 32 oz - I've been using this for a really long time and I love it in all seasons (love it in both summer and winter) and all over (face, body, hands, feet, etc). Sometimes I'll even take a dab and run it through my hair as a detangling/smoothing product (sometimes I mix it with a little coconut oil to make it a heavy-duty leave-in conditioner). I love the pump too, it makes life so much easier, although once you get to the very end the pump stops working even there's a half-inch of lotion left in the bottle and I have to come up with all kinds of creative ways to get out every last drop!
- NATURAL HAWAIIAN FACIAL MASK
- pore-fecting papaya enzyme - This is a clear-ish gel that you leave on your face for just 5 minutes (of course I always leave it on longer) and it dissolves all the gunk in your pores. I love it! Masks are so nice for forcing yourself to relax for a few minutes.
- ACNEDOTE face & body scrub - This is a really invigorating scrub that smells great - kind of a minty orange. I use it on my face and body to help keep large/clogged pores, flakes, and acne away. On body use it all over just to feel energized, super clean and tingly!
- VERY EMOLLIENT SUNSCREEN fragrance free mineral broad spectrum spf 30 - I was hoping this would arrive in time for my trip to Jamaica, but it didn't so now I have to wait until summer to use this! Oh well, I've used it in the past and it's great, the active ingredients are minerals (zinc and titanium dioxide) instead of those horrible hormone disrupting chemicals. Plus it is fragrance free, so even better!
