The Old White House
“Almost 5 years ago I decided to give making my own laundry soap a try, as a family of seven at the time we did a lot of laundry… a LOT of laundry! I had seen recipes floating around the internet, and gave a few a try. I didn’t find one that I thought did the job that I wanted it to, so I went back to the drawing board, and came up with a product that not only cleaned our laundry, but also made it naturally soft, and smelled amazing…Our lavender cleaning products include the following… soft, non-sudsing lavender laundry soap, organic lavender dryer sachets, lavender linen & room spray, lavender kitchen & bath cleanser, lavender carpet freshener and lavender soy candles. Our natural earth friendly and vegan lavender laundry and cleaning provisions are made with great care by my family and I. We make sure to use only earth friendly ingredients, pure lavender essential oil, organic lavender buds, natural cotton for the sachets that are stamped with waterproof ink, glass jars made in the USA, all packaged in a reusable cotton bag with a love of the earth and great pride in our products.”

Honey-processed coffee anyone? You’ll get a whole different view of coffee here. Flavors are described like poetry. “Groundwork was one of the first certified organic coffee roasters in Southern California and a pioneer in sustainable, relationship-based, and organic coffee sourcing.”
Vintner’s Daughter
A super-potent active botanical skin serum made from “the finest natural, organic and wildcrafted ingredients from conscious growers around the world … While researching her ever more complicated skincare regimen, winery owner, April Gargiulo realized that almost all of her highly touted skincare products contained high levels of ineffective, toxic fillers. As she researched more and discovered the cumulative damage these chemicals have on our systems, April sought out toxin free alternatives…Committed to creating the most active, luxurious serum possible, April began a 2 year-long research and formulation process. Drawing from her experience in fine winemaking, April, alongside natural skincare veterans set out to create a “hero” formulation that would address all of her skincare needs—everything from fine lines and wrinkles to acne to elasticity and general radiance. Much like the fine winemaking process, Vintner’s Daughter begins by sourcing the world’s finest raw ingredients and honors these ingredients through an exacting and time-honored formulation process. The result is Active Botanical Serum, a powerful, multi-correctional serum for face that has earned a cult status the world over.

Reduces exposures to fragrances, VOCs, pollen, dust, dander, odors, and more. It’s light weight, comfortable, reusable, and latex free. I have one here and the mask itself is odor-free.
Kid Licks
OK OK I finally found a nail polish that I can recommend. It’s “so natural it’s edible.” Really. Zero toxic fumes. And some ingredients are organic. This stuff smells like fruit. The polish goes on smoothly and has a beautiful finish. Vibrant color. I can’t find anything toxic about it. Takes longer to dry than toxic nail polish. And it washes right off with water. It’s really designed for little girls to play dress-up, and it wouldn’t stand up to a day of washing hands or dishes. But if you want to play dress-up for a special night out, or put it on your toe nails until your next shower, this would be great. I’m going to play with the sample they sent me.
