Eco-Friendly Elixirs

As the weather changes in the next couple months, so will the texture of your skin. Make sure the climate doesn't weather away your smooth skin by keeping it soft with skin care products good not only for you, but also for the planet.

Keep Buzzin' Body Products

Not only does this hand cream and foot cream skin care line keep your skin smooth and buttery, but all of the ingredients are 100 percent natural. The Keep Buzzin' Body Products are never tested on animals and don't contain any of the following — petrolatum, lanolin, phthalates, sodium laureth, oxy benzone or carmine. There is also no added color in this skin care line. The one preservative that is used is propanediol zemea, which is all plant-based and eco-certified.

Immerse yourself in the honey-almond hand cream or the peppermint foot cream for silky, smooth skin.

LUSH Cosmetics

LUSH Cosmetics is a skin care line made of fresh and organic products — and they are all handmade! A lot of love and care goes into creating these specifically-designed skin care products. All products are made by hand using little if any preservatives and only vegetarian ingredients. And LUSH doesn't test their products on animals. Indulge in their fresh, delicious face masks or dive into a hot bath using one of their magical bath bombs.

J.R. Watkins

This line is America's original natural apothecary manufacturer, and to this day it's still all natural. J.R. Watkins uses only natural and environmentally friendly ingredients strictly from renewable resources and avoids chemicals such as parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

The line includes skin care, household, gourmet and remedy products. All products are all natural and eco-friendly, of course. Try one of their creamy hand lotions or fresh body scrubs.

Thanks for the recommendations. I like the Keep Buzzin' Creams for sure. Can't wait to try out the others!

I love Keep Buzzin Hand and foot cream. Its all natural which is wonderful and it makes my hands feel so soft. I have sensitive skin and it does not cause irritation. My favorite is Honey Almond.

Keep Buzzin' Hand and Foot Creams are so rich and creamy. A little goes a long way! It doesn't feel greasy and the scents are very mellow. My favorite is Honey Almond.

Keep Buzzin' Hand and Foot Creams are amazing! My favorite is the tangerine for my hands and peppermint for my feet. My hands are in water a lot and they have never felt so soft until I started using this product a year ago.

I love the Keep Buzzin' Hand and Foot creams! One of my coworkers discovered the product in a gift shop and it's now the new favorite of several of my friends and family members. I like the Peppermint Foot Cream best but the whole line smells great.
