caldrea

Caldrea is perhaps my favorite eco-cleaning supply company. I’ve been using their products for about 10 years now and love them. They are aromatherapy cleaning products by Mona Hatoum based in Minnesota, USA. They work really well and smell fantastic. The prices are more than comparable products yet, they are diluted so a little goes a long way. Caldrea also offers cleaning supplies – yet, you’ll need to consider whether or not you want to use them as most them contain animal products such as horse hair bristle, goat hair and so forth. Purchases at Sur La Table. Stockists are on site or you can order online. Great deal for laundry. Also can’t really recommend their hand lotions due to parabens and so forth.

vegan & botanical skincare line

Have you tried Dr. Wendy’s Botanical Skincare Line? Approved by both the Vegetarian Society and the Vegan Society, Dr. Wendy Maddocks-Jennings has developed this line to promote the benefits of essential oils and aromatherapy. This is what I truly love: it’s veg(etari)an, 100% natural with no synthetics ingredients and it’s 100% cruelty-free. In case you’re interested, workshops in New Zealand and aromatherapy certificates are also offered. Samples are available as well.

violets

Violets are well known for their exquisite fragance and many uses in aromatherapy. Also a symbol of love and faithfulness, authentic violets are incredibly expensive when purchased commercially. They make delicious herbs used in cooking. For the true violet experience, it’s best grow them in your own garden.
