100% Natural Hair Oils from Badger





Oil is the cornerstone for healthy hair. When hair is healthy, it looks shiny and bright because light reflects from its smooth surface. Damaged hair has a rough, uneven surface that creates split ends, knots up easily, and appears dull and lifeless. When a nourishing oil is applied to damaged hair, it re-establishes its healthy balance and protects hair from heat, chemicals, and UV damage.

Badger says: if one oil is great, a blend of nourishing oils must be outstanding! Precious Argan Oil is rich in vitamins, proteins, and essential fatty acids, which strengthen and soften hair at the same time.
Jojoba deeply moisturizes, while Baobab strengthens. Each oil selected for this blend contains potent antioxidants that prevent free radical damage, and protect hair from the elements.

• Argan Oil penetrates deeply to repair damaged hair and smooth split ends.
• Jojoba Oil conditions hair by providing moisture, and helps to balance oil production.
• Baobab Oil strengthens the hair cuticle and improves elasticity, to restore and maintain healthy hair.
• Vitamin E protects hair from free radical damage and brings out hair’s natural shine and luster.
• Sunflower Oil is a light carrying oil that delivers essential fatty acids.
• Can be used daily as a leave-in conditioner, or as a weekly intensive treatment.
• 100% natural – NO: silicone or silicone derivatives, artificial “fragrance,” color, synthetic ingredients, mineral oil, irritating or harsh ingredients.

A dry, flaky scalp needs extra hydration to heal, so Badger’s created a synergistic blend of plant oils to deeply moisturize, while soothing itchy scalp and improving hair texture. Rosemary is the traditional herb for hair health because it stimulates the hair follicles, encouraging healthy hair from the root. Tea Tree and Rosemary deeply cleanse the scalp and help to deliver moisture, while Jojoba and Sunflower oils penetrate deeply into the roots, where they are most beneficial. Menthol and Peppermint cool and refresh, while imparting an energizing, cleansing tingle to the scalp. Sunflower Vitamin E nourishes dry skin and hair while generating a healthy shine.

Halloween




Halloween is a holiday of many mysterious customs, but each one has a history, or at least a story behind it. The wearing of costumes and roaming from door to door demanding treats can be traced to the Celtic period when it was thought that the souls of the dead were out and about, along with fairies, witches, and demons. Offerings of food and drink were left out to placate them. As the centuries wore on, people began dressing like these dreadful creatures, performing antics in exchange for food and drink.
What will you be dressing up as?  Fancy yourself a fairy, witch, vampire?  Essence and Catrice have what you need to create the look.

Don’t forget, your nails need to look great too!

Organic Sunscreen


It's invigorating to see just how many people are becoming more conscious about the world and their health - about the products they use, what they expose their bodies to, the food they eat, the air they breathe, the water they drink, the cosmetics they put on their skin.

And on that note here are some organic sunscreens that we know you will love!
