Human Nature Natural Toothpaste and Minka Bamboo Toothbrush

When you think of a necessary, everyday product like toothpaste, you don't really associate it with a word like "natural", right? After all, something that's meant to thoroughly clean (our teeth, for example) a surface that's constantly covered in bacteria means it has to be chock full of chemicals.

Local, pro-environment brand Human Nature wants us to change that way of thinking. A product doesn't have to be filled with chemicals, many of them potentially harmful to our health, to be effective. Cue the Human Nature Natural Toothpaste (Php149.75/120g and Php259.75/225g)! It promises all the benefits of a regular toothpaste, but with natural goodness on its side.

I'll also be talking about their Minka Bamboo Toothbrush (Php199.75). An eco-friendly, antimicrobial toothbrush that serves a good cause.

Review: Human Nature Mineral ColorCreme Lipstick in "Pink Smoothie"

I'm still quite a newbie when it comes to all-natural or organic beauty products. But recently I have become more open-minded and willing to try them out, especially when it comes to cosmetics!

With the amount of makeup we gals tend to pile on everyday, it's good to know there's alternatives out there that are good, if not better, for our skin. Alternatives that don't contain any toxic or harmful chemicals, basically. Cue my happiness (and intrigue) when one of my best friends gifted me this Mineral ColorCreme Lipstick from Human Nature for my birthday last year. It's my first all-natural lippie!

Product description: Vivid color. Luscious moisture. One rich lipstick.

Time to let your natural beauty dazzle with this luxurious fusion of cocoa butter, sunflower seed oil, passion fruit seed oil, and natural vitamin E that melts onto your lips for an exquisite, creamy glide.

As someone perpetually cursed with dry lips, just reading the description of this product was enough to excite me. Cocoa butter? Oils? Vitamin E? Yes, please! Despite my love for a beautiful, matte finish, I can also never get enough of super creamy, moisture-packed lipsticks!

Human Nature 100% Natural Lip Balms

Don’t you just hate when you want to sport one of your favorite lipsticks only to find out that your lips are too dry? I have many days like that. No matter what I do, even if I exfoliate the living daylights out of my lips and slather it with twenty layers of lip balm, they’re still just too dry and cracked for lipstick. I end up having to reach for a lipgloss, lip tint, or just brave the day with bare lips. This is why I’m never without lip balm at home or in my bag. When I don’t have anything on my lips, I need to make sure they’re moisturized at all times, especially just in case I need to quickly doll up and lipstick is absolutely necessary. Before I go to bed, I always apply a generous coating of lip balm too. Tinted balms are my favorite because at least I can get away with some color on my lips at the same time.

I don’t discriminate when it comes to lip balms. I’ll try virtually any kind, though I do prefer the ones that don’t have a strange ‘taste’ to them. You know what I’m talking about. Usually those ones I find are balms that claim to be organic or all-natural. But when my cousin kindly gifted my sister and I with these Human Nature 100% Natural Lip Balms (Php79.75 each) I decided to give all-natural lip balms a chance again.

Product info: Kiss dry, dull lips goodbye with our better-than-ever 100% Natural Lip Balms made with the finest blend of cocoa butter, beeswax, and all-natural oils. Pamper your puckers with a smoother, softer glide and mouth-watering natural flavors that are sure to keep you reaching for your lip balm again and again…and again!

Perfect as a base for Mineral ColorCreme Lipstick, they’re great for everyday use to keep your lips soft, moisturized and protected from drying and chapping.
