Konjac Sponge Co. • Konjac Sponge • ★★★★

Value, $12

Description: What is konjac? the Konjac Potato or Konnyaku is a perennial plant native to Asia, and can be found growing wild at very high altitudes. Naturally alkaline, Konjac is pH neutral which leaves skin perfectly balanced. These facial sponges deeply cleanse, remove blackheads, and gently exfoliate skin. The unique net like structure of the vegetable fibers helps to stimulate blood flow and promote skin cell renewal.

Konjac sponges are one of the most interesting natural beauty items to take center stage the last few years. I’m not sure about blackhead removal it’s not quite a charcoal mask, but it does an excellent job at exfoliating. It’s gentle to the point I wondered if it was working, but sure enough it left my face super smooth.

Suntegrity • 5-in-1 Natural Moisturizing Face Sunscreen • ★★★★

Value, sample size (full-size, $45)

Description: This non-greasy beauty benefiting (BB) sunscreen is nothing short of amazing. Why? Aside from the fabulous performance, the 5-in-1 gem has scored a #1 rating by EWG and was featured in the “Best Sunscreens” category in the EWG Sunscreen Guide. Treat, hydrate, protect, prime, and cover skin while providing SPF 30 coverage.

Tbh I didn’t have high hopes for this mostly because it’s a ‘sunscreen’ and it’s natural. I’ve bought so many absolute shit natural sunscreens that I probably never would’ve picked this up at the store. But it’s amazing! It really is more like a BB cream with a perfect tint and absolutely NO zinc cast. The only downside I noticed is their tints don’t cover darker than olive skin tones.

Box Naturals • Luxe Towelettes • ★★★★

Value, sample (full-size, $9)

Description: What makes a towelette luxe? Biodegradable and lightly scented with essential oils, these towelettes are lifesavers for the lady on the go. Use them for removing makeup, cleaning hands, or freshening up down there. Every ingredient is safe and serves a specific purpose. No synthetics, only the best…because that’s what you deserve.

Loved them especially the rosewater, because rose scented things!! They are really convenient to take on trips or to the gym. A little refresher until you can shower.
