Caribbean Sol(utions)

May 29, 2009 · 9 comments

After Heather’s recent post about processed products, I thought I’d add in my two cents (after all, I am a hippie).  

Sure, I’m pretty minimalist in the beautifying department, but I am a girl!!  So what’s a hippie to do?!

Allow me to introduce Caribbean Sol

They have biodegradable everything, including sunscreen, lotion, body wash, shampoo/conditioner, and even self tanner…

According to Dr. Ginger’s “worst, better, best” classifications, the “worst” products have parabens (ew, toxic, ew), while the “best” are natural and paraben free.

Caribbean Sol’s products are made from all organic, biodegradable ingredients.

PLUS, they have 100% VEGETARIAN INGREDIENTS, NO PARABENS or HARSH PRESERVATIVES, NO SODIUM LAURYL or LAURETH SULFATE; NO ANIMAL TESTING.

You can see the ingredients listed on the labels of each and every product here.

Trust me, I’m a huge fan…

I’ve previously raved about the Onyx Oil here as well as the sunscreen here, and I regularly lather up with the (above) natural cocoa shea body butter and natural kukui body silk before bed.

Shampoo, conditioner, and bathing gel

Peek-a-boo (I spy with my little eye)…an arm in the mirror – and the Caribbean Sol faces only sunscreen.

Sadly, there are a lot of other products from the “worst” column, too, in there.

Below is the natural body satin moisturizer and natural lip balm.

So clearly I’m a fan…

They even have self tanners and dog shampoo!

Basically I love their products – something a hippie AND a girly girl can enjoy, since often times they are one and the same…hello?  blogger chicas   :)

that's where to find stores that have their products. some whole foods stores carry them, but mostly they are at smaller health food market places.

Ooh, I love products, and I’ve never tried the Caribbean Sol brand. I’ll check at my Whole Foods, and if they don’t carry them, perhaps an online order is in my futures. Thanks Elise!
