Osmia has just released their limited edition Summer Soap (a bright, creamy, happy mix of fresh basil, lemongrass, amyris, and spearmint) and their Lavender Mint soap. Lavender Mint Soap is made with organic spinach powder and French clay along with moisturizing organic olive oil and mango butter to leave the skin nourished. It’s gentle, so that will fool you, but don’t be it truly brightens the skin with the use of lactic and salicylic acids along with pumpkin and pineapple enzymes. Mad with Neem, Holy Basil, Salicylic Acid and Tumeric, this wipe off cleanser needs no water.

From their beautiful bamboo toothbrush, to their Brilliant Black Toothpaste and paper-packaged, bamboo charcoal dental floss, their products are the kind of thing that you’d see photographed on the sink in the coolest hotel room bathroom. Ayurvedic Brilliant Black Oil Pulling with activated charcoal is super easy to use, tastes of refreshing mint, beautifully packaged, vegan and it leaves your mouth feeling so fresh and clean. Pulling helps to whiten teeth (especially with the added charcoal) gives you fresher breath, fights bacteria that gives you bad breath, promotes saliva production and moisturizes gums (gum health is huge, my friends). Terra’s ink-black (so fun to use) toothpaste is powerful, vegan, minty and fluoride-free and contains activated charcoal to naturally remove stains from teeth (think berries, tobacco, coffee and wine).

Detox Mode’s newest baby is their emerald green super balm made with shea butter, spirulina and hemp. You can use this balm for EVERYTHING including elbows, heels, cuticles (and manicure) and I recommend putting some on your feet at night to keep your pedicure – and feet – in great condition. Their Sugar & Shea Body Scrub tube is made from recycled plastic AND the scrub is a true blue wonder as it leaves the skin soft and totally moisturized (no need for a follow-up cream or body oil). With aloe vera, neem, holy basil, turmeric, salicylic acid and grapefruit, it leaves the skin feeling so fresh and clean.

If you know me, I’m pretty obsessed with deodorants because I’m a big sweater and because there’s such cool ones out there now like Cleo + Coco. I’m a sucker for all things charcoal…especially deodorants and don’t worry, this gray-hued natural deodorant won’t stain your clothing gray (a common question with charcoal). Although this Cleo + Coco’s Basil Mint does contain baking soda, I had zero irritation while using it, but you may choose to go with their sensitive one which is baking soda-free. So smooth, the Cleo + Coco’s Sensitive Deodorant is completely baking soda-free, yet still contains two of nature’s best odor- fighting ingredients: coconut derived Activated Charcoal and Bentonite Clay.
