Eco Hotlist

By: Fatima Reyes, LifestyleBOOST Editorial Intern

Once a month we heat things up with 3 of our top must-have eco-products. The hottest in fashion, beauty & accessories…Ladies, you want it, we got it! Join the style sensation!

Antipodes Organic Ananda Antioxidant-Rich Gentle Toner: We have high standards for the kinds of products we slather and spritz on our skin. But whether your skin is sensitive, mature, or in need of refreshment, the certified organic and natural line, Antipodes, knows just how to treat it. Made with New Zealand-grown Mamaku black fern and omega-rich raspberry extract, Antipodes’ Organic Ananda Antioxidant-Rich Gentle Toner is not tested on animals and free of irritants like SLS. Throw out your harsh, chemical-filled toners that leave your skin feeling tight and tender, and opt for this mist-able concoction that simultaneously strengthens and soothes all skin types.

For more info, visit the Antipodes website.

Coola SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizing Sunscreen: The summer may be over, but applying sun protection should still be part of your daily beauty regime. Luckily, sun experts at Coola know how to make organic skincare that guards against UVA and UVB rays AND moisturizes at the same time! Their SPF 30 Cucumber Moisturizing Sunscreen leaves your skin feeling cool and refreshed, with Rose Hips working to trigger tissue growth, Comfrey calms any inflammation, and Clove and Bergamot extracts to calm and disinfect. No matter what your skincare needs may be, your Coola sunscreen is there to protect.

Sweet Leaf Bath Co. Lip Balm: Ever have that sick feeling when you’re done your lip balm and you have to throw away the container? No worries – the mother-daughter team behind Sweet Leaf Bath Co. has you covered. The Fair Trade-certified beauty line recently released Canada’s first lip balm housed in a 100% compostable eco tube. Unlike the other 25 million plastic tubes that are thrown away in Canada each year, Sweet Leaf Bath Co.’s tubes are fully biodegradable and won’t clutter or contaminate our already crowded landfills. With three natural flavours available to suit every taste (Chocolate, Peppermint, and Pomegranate), you can moisturize your lips completely guilt-free.
