Suntribe Mineral Sunscreen & Cosmetics
This is my preferred brand of sunscreen given that it is made entirely out of organic oils, waxes, butters and natural minerals, and features zero synthetic chemicals and unnecessary ingredients, such as preservatives and perfumes. It was crafted by three beach buffs who sought to offer protection from the sun that does not come at a hefty price to humans or the environment.

ECZEMA & Troubled SKIN HEALING by The Eczema Company
Borne out of a personal struggle with compromised skin health, The Eczema Company was envisioned by a mother whose son suffered debilitating eczema. Jennifer and her team crafted a series of nifty solutions for this challenging condition, including calming salves as well as garments, which are made with breathable fibers such as Tencel and bamboo to regulate skin temperature and prevent flare-ups. It’s super cool that The Eczema Company supports infants, kids as well as adults.

Purity Woods Organic Age-defying Skincare
I love the unique ingredients that go into the making of Purity Woods anti-aging skincare. While a great deal of brands use the words “organic”, “wild-crafted” and “natural” as hooks, in reality many skincare products rely on such labels as a marketing ploy while they, in fact, may contain only a handful organic ingredients - and some questionable others. The Purity Woods line stands out for being “USDA Certified Organic” - and my clients rave about it for a reason.

Xtrema Healthy Cookware
There is no shortage of ceramic surface cooking utensils on the market. But Xtrema is a cut above being 100% ceramic cookware - no oxidized aluminum layer or two underneath. Their set of cookware, bakware as well as teaware is as pure as it is highly durable, and it strikes a balance between functionality and aesthetics. By creating synergy between mindful cooking, a healthy lifestyle, people and the environment, Xtrema literally brings so much heart to the table.

Soothing the Senses with Sensate
Stress may be necessary for survival, growth as well as learning, but chronic stress puts us in a state of sympathetic overdrive. When the nervous system is overactivated, engaging the vagus nerve can calm both brain and body. If the nervous system is too stimulated, any additional effort - even that to self-regulate - may at times feel crippling. That’s why I love Sensate; it activates the vagus nerve without any labor on the user’s part because one need only wear it over one’s chest. Sensate uses infrasonic frequency vibrations and soundscapes that signal the vagus nerve to relax and the user to feel regulated and at ease.
