  4. Juice Beauty- SPF 30 Sport Sunscreen ( Tube 3fl oz / 90 ml)- This is their only sunscreen, however I’d recommend this brand if you have sensitive skin or allergies.

  5. 100% Pure-Green Tea SPF 30 (Spray bottle or Tube)-They have a couple choices on their website including a kit so now there’s something for everyone. If you have allergies or acne prone skin I’d try this brand.

  6. Meow Meow Tweet- Try this plant based, mineral sunscreen this year. With SPF 25 use can use this low SPF daily and not just for the summer. Meow meow tweet has become a house hold name in the zero waste community, starting with their shampoo bars to deodorant in card board tubes. This brand can be found at a handful of big and small retailers, give them a try they are great and affordable!

Bug Spray and Afterbite Ointment

  1. Lisas Ideal Health- Bug Spray - With summer weather around the corner click the link to order a cleaner non toxic bug spray from Lisas Ideal health.

  2. Lisas Ideal Health- Afterbite Ointment- I have never used a better bug bite ointment! Purchase this right away, its non toxic and it supports a small business. I would even recommend ordering a few extras and upgrading your first aid kits with this ointment.

Hair Styling Products

  1. Captain Blankenship -Dry Shampoo- This dry shampoo works fine even with medium to dark brown hair. No issues here!

  2. Cocokind-Dry Shampoo/ Calming Powder- Women can use this powder for dry shampoo and men can use this powder to reduce moisture in the summer months.

  3. John Masters Organics Sea Mist - Sea Salt Spray- Organic sea mist with lavender. I used the old formula but both are great for that summer beach wave look. 

Lightweight Face Products

  1. Blemish Clearing Cleanser-Face wash that will leave you acne free and filter free for Instagram!

  2. Oil Free Moisturizer- It’s lightweight and absorbs fast so you can apply your makeup sooner.

  3. Eco-Wash Cloth Made from bamboo, it’s soft enough for your skincare needs.

  4. Organic Chia Facial Oil- Use this oil before sunblock for full chia benefits to help balance the skins moisture and acne.

  5. Rose Water Spray - This trendy mist is a big deal! Its calming yet refreshing. This mist is perfect in the summer months for a little pick-me-up during the day at work or out shopping. Don’t wait to give this mist a try because it only has 1 ingredient!

  6. Makeup Remover-Bare Face- A makeup remover that is lightweight and gentle enough for combination skin and allergies.

  7. Bright Eyes Mask - Instant Spa day! This eye mask can make any day special and its a great gift too! I keep my eye masks in the fridge for an extra cooling factor. Compared to all the eye masks on the market I think this one is cost effective with better ingredients.

  8. Sleep Well Duo- This sleep mask comes in a pouch with their restful sleep remedy essential oil. This kit quickly became a part of my night time routine.

Outdoors and Body Care

  1. Yoga Mat Antibacterial Spray-Purchased this as a gift for my mother and now I need one for myself.

  2. Saje Natural Wellness The body wash scent is called Lavender and Friends and this also happens to be my favorite!

  3. Rustic Maka - This deodorant brand has very clean ingredients and you will also find it to be a very smooth application process for a sensitive formula. My favorite scent is Calming Fields which also happens to come Baking Soda Free!

  4. ThinkSport - Being a former athlete I can say this deodorant really lives up to its claims. For women/teen girls try Aloe and Tea Flowers and for men/teen boys try the Bergamot and cedarwood. This deodorant does contains baking soda so be careful it might be too strong for sensitive skin. They all smell amazing and the formula is very similar to gel. Start Shopping by using my referral code.

  5. Nail Polish-Sensational Nailtural - Some of their clean ingredients are potato’s, beet’s and cassava flour.

  2. Essential Oxygen Organic Brushing Rinse- Peppermint Mouthwash -Purchase this mouthwash from either well.ca or from Thrive Market in the 10oz bottle or a 3oz bottle for traveling.

  3. Desert Essence- Floss that is healthier and uses tea tree essential oil and beeswax.
