What: Caudalie Shower Gel in “Zeste de Vigne”
Why: I can’t repeat enough that your skin will thank you when you go sulfate-free with your shower gels. I really like Caudalie’s, and its “Zeste de Vigne” flavour is my favourite. It seriously smells good enough to eat.
Green Factor: All Caudalie shower gels are all ultra-gentle and plant-derived.

What: Team Dr. Joseph Daily Vitalizing Eye Treatment
Why: And another one from Team Dr. Joseph, one of my favourite organic skincare brands. This is a wonderful eye cream: rich and intensively moisturising, and at the same time sinks into my skin immediately. Love it!
Green Factor: Yes, yes, yes!

What: Bioderma Make-up removing micelle solution Créaline H2O TS

What: Ringana Tooth Oil
Why: When you once start checking the list of ingredients of ordinary tooth paste, it scares the hell out of you, which is why I was looking for an alternative. This tooth oil is based on the tradition of the ayurvedic oil-pulling and sucks the toxins out of your mouth, leaving behind a clean, antiseptic oral environment. My teeth have even become whiter and my gums have greatly improved.

What: Tata Harper Replenishing Nutrient Complex
Why: I pretty much love every single product I’ve tried so far from Tata Harper. They’re *a-ma-zing*!! And this facial oil may even be my favourite. It just gives my skin that extra oomph to look healthy, glowing and dewy all day long.

What: Cowshed Apricot Nourishing Cuticle Oil
Why: I love, love, love Cowshed. Starting from the hilarious product names (check out their range!), the cool packaging, and in particular, the seriously high quality of all their products.
