The naked truth?

About 70 percent of LUSH Cosmetics’s products are sold naked without packaging (even their shampoo)! By reducing their dependence on virgin plastics, LUSH is helping to reduce landfill waste and CO2 emissions – all without compromising the quality of their products.

Their lust-worthy line of solid bath products are hand-made with gentle, natural ingredients that use aromatic properties to soothe and smooth. What’s more, the compact little slices of Heaven are a long-lasting and economical alternative to pricier liquid options.

Wanna learn how you can get naked?

In celebration of Earth Week, EcoSalon is giving away three sets of LUSH’s most popular naked products. Each set includes one Therapy Massage Bar, Buffy Body Butter, Solid Sugar Scrub, Godiva Shampoo Bar, and Vanilla in the Mist Soap. The sets come neatly packaged in LUSH’s eco-conscious Knot-Wraps, which are gorgeous scarves made from vintage or vegan fabrics that can be re-used for any number of purposes (think purse, grocery bag, decor, you name it).

The total packaging-free package retails for $40, but three lucky EcoSalon readers will score them for free.

Excited?

Erica Weiner’s Milagro heart necklaces woo me every time I go to her site. I always think it would be the best necklace never ever to take off, plus it looks good layered with other pieces.

“Traditionally, milagros (also known as ex-votos or dijes) are offered to a favorite saint as a reminder of the petitioner’s particular need, or they are offered to the saint in thanks for a prayer answered,” says Weiner.

The hand-casted hearts are from South America and were created with the intention of healing the brokenhearted. The designer purchased them in a local botanica and plated them in 14K gold to make them a little more precious.

Erica’s environmental policy includes: Reused packing materials and mailers that are 90 percent post-consumer paper and 100 percent recyclable, use of vintage materials and use of dead stock or re-purposed materials. The company also offsets 300 percent of their carbon output through www.carbonfund.org.

Just $45 and made in NYC.
