Green Beaver Certified Organic Products {Review & #Giveaway}

More and more people are turning to natural, green products for their family.  They're staring to realize that the products and chemicals we use on our bodies may not actually be that great for us.  If you haven't already begun to use organic products for your family, or if you already do, here's an introduction to a company that takes being green so seriously they put it in their name.

The Green Beaver company offers wholesome, healthy personal care products that are safe and effective for you, your family, and the environment.  They rely on pure natural ingredients when formulating their products.
Green Beaver is located in Canada and has recently launched in the U.S.  They've partnered with Flora, Inc., and their eco-friendly products should be available in health food stores across the country soon.  The entire line is certified organic by EcoCert, the European Standard for Cosmetics.  Certified organic means:
  • Non-toxic, safe
  • Environmentally friendly, biodegradable
  • High-quality
  • Natural
  • Synthetic chemical free
  • NOT tested on animals
They also have a list of 'Ingredients to Avoid' on their website, aka. ingredients they don't use in their products!  I was sent several of the Green Beaver products for my family to try.  I used the Gluten-Free Body Wash and the Gluten-Free Body Lotion on myself.  The wash was foamy and wasn't over-drying, and the lotion left my skin soft.  The scent of both screamed clean but for me was too over powering... almost "pine sol-y" if you will.
My kids got to try out several products from the Green Beaver Jr. line.  I didn't use much of the Bubble Bath but it got nice and bubbly, tons of fun for the kids.  The kids Shampoo smells sweet like berries, lathers nicely, and is tear-free.  Afterward I used the Conditioning Detangler on my daughter's naturally curly hair to get any kinks out... the result- nice and smooth, without the 'Ouch'!

I think my 3 year olds favorite product was the Green Apple Natural Toothpaste- she loved the taste.  I liked it also, but not because it tastes like green apples.  I like it because it's safe if my daughter accidentally swallows some of it!  It's flouride-free and doesn't contain any harsh foaming agents (SLS or SLES), but yes it does naturally foam up.  This is perfect for toddlers transitioning from the training toothpaste to big kid toothpaste.  They also have Zesty Orange (another kid favorite) and Frosty Mint & Star Anise for the more traditional taste.

BUY IT:  U.S. residents can purchase Green Beaver products from FloraHealth.com, and Canadian residents can purchase directly from GreenBeaver.com, or check with your local health food store.

WIN IT:  1 lucky person is going to win the entire Green Beaver Jr. line!!
