Good Morning America & Walmart “Go Green” for you, for beauty & Earth
Once upon a time you had to go to natural food stores which were few and far between to get good organic botanical products for your body.
As of today, you can go to your local Walmart store and find an environmentally friendly and Earth saving item in several departments, such as compact fluorescent light bulbs or organic cotton clothing.
Beauty is my specialty and I'm very pleased to see Walmart carry the 3 product lines: Honest to Goodness, It's All Good and Heal Thyself created by Noah's Naturals. These body products are free from parabens, do not contain sodium laurel sulfates, or propylene glycol. The ingredients used in the products are free of pesticides and harmful chemicals. So basically you get good organic ingredients.
I find the price point is very competitive with other stores and product lines, in fact, it's a surprisingly low and affordable price point.
If you are used to buying a vat of body lotion for $1.99, these products may seem expensive. Though, actually with the range being between $4.00-$12.00 for organic eco-friendly body care, it's affordable to upgrade your health and well being.
Remember when products contain mineral oil or petrolatum, they block moisture to the skin. Think of a baby bottom in diapers. Moms get a tub of petroleum jelly and cover the baby's bottom to protect the skin from wetness in the diaper overnight. When you use lotions and cremes that contain mineral oil or petrolatum it's the same thing. Though now these lotions and cremes have more fragrance and cost more.
Your skin doesn't get hydration and is actually leeched of it from the petrolatum on the skins surface. So your skin actually gets drier feeling. So you put on more lotion filled with mineral oil and petrolatum. Now your skin gets leeched of more moisture and you have itchy dry skin. So you put on more lotion.
We've been through this haven't we? So how do you get off the merry go round of moisture loss through body products? Try an organic botanical body scrub,lotion or shampoo from Walmart's natural beauty aisle.
The Walmart that I visited to experience the products had half an aisle devoted to the “natural body care” products. I was impressed! There were a few brands to choose from, such as Freeman and J/A/S/O/N, which has a great reputation for being an organic botanical product free of parabens and chemicals long before being organic was cool.
The largest section of natural body care is the Noah's Naturals family of products.
Heal Thyself is an aromatherapy line with body lotion, body wash, a body scrub and bath soak, plus pulse point balm that is pocket sized and easy to take to work or carry in your pocket or purse. The bottle sizes are generous portions and all Noah's Naturals containers are recyclable.
The scents come in 3 flavors: Stress is an aromatherapy blend of basil and eucalyptus for reducing stress and inducing relaxation. Energy: is a blend of Clementine and ginger for invigorating your senses while Sleep is a soft mix of lavender and patchouli.
Each of the scents; Stress, Energy and Sleep come in all forms of the product line.
The second part of the line is “It's All Good” and it carries a hair shampoo and conditioner plus some lip balm and body products. The aroma of the products are created using rosemary and mint. So expect an invigorating shower experience.
The final product line in the Noah's Naturals family is “Honest To Goodness”. It has an anti-aging skin care line filled with anti-oxidants. The bases for the products are all organic essential oils mixed with natural raw materials.
To read more details about the Noah's Natural story and products, please visit them at www.noahsnaturals.com or just take a trip to the local Walmart and stock up on some good for your body and better for the environment products.
Personally, I love Arbonne and usually keep my house Arbonnized. Though it is pure pleasure to know that in a pinch if I forgot to order my Arbonne body wash, shampoo or lotion, there is a safe, organic, botanical line of products at a great price that is just a quick trip to Walmart away!
Special thanks to Good Morning America for doing the story on Walmart “going green”. If Robin Roberts and Diane Sawyer weren't talking about it, I would not have made the trip down the beauty aisle in my local Kingman Walmart.
Thanks Good Morning America!
