 This afternoon, I got the chance to preview the newest goodies from organic product range Kiss My Face and chat with its two founders, Bob MacLeod and Steve Byckiewicz.
Kiss My Face, established in the early 1980s on a 200-acre organic farm in New York’s Hudson River Valley, was one of the first companies to dabble in organic cosmetics and skincare, bursting onto the scene with their famous olive bar soaps. MacLeod and Byckiewicz, both vegetarians, set out to make healthy products at the grassroots levels, using organic and natural ingredients (think shea butter, olive oil, beeswax, silica, tea tree and Iceland Moss) blended together in laboratory locations around the world.

 The other day, someone put the fear in me when it comes to deodorants and antiperspirants by mentioning the potential cancer-causing chemicals harboring within them.
It’s something I had never stopped to think about, having been a stick and gel user for the past, oh, 14 or 15 years of my life.
Looking at the back of my current antipersirpant — Speedstick Gel 24/7 in Fresh Rush (I’ve never been one for the girly scents) — I realized any label that reads “If swallowed, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away” should set off major red flags.

 Macy’s is going the way of green, eight brands at a time, with the launch of their store-in-a-store concept Beautiful Planet at their location in Herald Square.
With people turning to eco-consciousness as a lifestyle rather than a passing trends, Beautiful Planet is giving consumers the choice of using natural, paraben-free beauty products that work just as well as other Sephora or luxe department store brands. Even the decor itself is green-minded and sustainable: bamboo, recycled metals, low VOC paints and coconut shell tiles. Each brand comes with a description printed on post-consumer recycled paper, as well.
