Eco-Heart Product Review

     I recently discovered Natural Earth Paint , a non-toxic alternative for environmentally-conscious artists and folks who are sensitive to the fumes of paints and other art mediums.   The company was started by a young artist mother who wanted to be able to continue to paint safely while pregnant and around her young children.   She harvested organic pigments from the earth and mixed them with walnut oil, just as the ancient masters did.        I use their pigments and oils as well as their plant-based acrylic medium.  I recommend the oil paints to anyone who is highly sensitive.  I find the acrylic medium has a distinct odor to it.  Those who are particularly sensitive should wear a mask or bandana when mixing with that.  Actually it is recommended to wear protection when making the paints with the powdered pigments (I wear a bandana over my nose and mouth) because they are fine powders which can become air...

With my extremely sensitive "problem" skin, it's hard for me to find products that don't irritate me. So, I was thrilled to discover Dead Sea Magic Mineral Salt Soap . It's 100% natural ingredients are simply : Olive oil, Coconut oil, Palm oil ( from a sustainable source) , and "the Amazing Dead Sea Salts." The soap is completely unscented, and its high concentration of mineral salt from Israel's Dead Sea is tremendously soothing to the skin. This is the first of their products that I fell in love with. But there's more! Dead Sea Warehouse makes a handful of other high-quality products. A ll of their products are absolutely UNSCENTED!   and sensitive-skin friendly.    I tried their two other wonderful soaps : t he Amazing Minerals Mud Intensive Facial Care Bar and the Amazing Minerals Combo Facial Care Bar . These two bars include the same natural oils as the salt soap, but are enhanced with Dead Sea Mineral Mud . The mud dr...

New Chapter 's True Tamanu Oil is an amazing, skin-nourishing oil that can be added to carrier oils or lotions, or used as is for a more concentrated application. It has a slight maple-syrupy scent to it which I find pleasantly invigorating. I'd highly recommend it for scar treatment, anti-aging/wrinkle reduction, and any skin problem and for overall skin health. True Tamanu Oil comes from the nut of coastal tamanu trees that grow on the island nation of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. The nuts are wild-crafted, hand-cracked, and allowed to dry in the sun. The golden brown nuts are then cold-pressed, without the use of any heat or chemicals. The resulting oil is rich, dark green, and considered the finest tamanu oil in the world. New Chapter and its True Tamanu Oil partners have elected to voluntarily comply with the Convention on Biological Diversity. This treaty, created in 1992, established guidelines for protecting environmental resources and sharing benefits with...
