EO/EVERYONE SOAP FOR EVERY KID

I am transitioning many of our household products to more eco-friendly options that are also safe for my family. However anything considered "GREEN" ends up costing you more of your hard earned green. So I try to find products that are not only better, but also offer a good quantity for the price. 

I have been going to my nearest health food grocery store and they carry absolutely everything. However not everything is what I would consider budget friendly, so I try to be selective when choosing new items to try.




For the past two months we have been using EO (EVERYONE) shower gel that is from the children's range of products, but we all like the smell, so hey! why not. It has a delicious blend of orange, coconut and pineapple. A perfect fit for those who love all things tropical hence the name "Tropical Coconut Twist." Also it cleans well both hair and body, rinses off easily and the lather and bubbles are fantastic. Also does not irritate our skin which has been a huge problem for us with more main stream products.






I have seen EO products many times and I think the big selling point for me is the size of the bottle. You get a whopping 960ml/32 fl oz for $11.99 CAD, which works out to be around .80 per ml. 
The other benefit with this product is that you can wash your hair and body with it as well as making a fun bubble bath for your child/children. A truly multi-purpose product for the whole family and the quantity to match.




For those of you looking to make the change to safer products for you and your family give the EO Tropical Coconut Twist a try. Here are the top reasons why

Makeup'Asylum is transitioning to CanadianEcoMom

After taking much time this summer and several other small breaks in the past three and a half years has given me a lot to think about. That being said I realize that it's not the blogging I dislike it's always been about my content. I want to come on to my blog and focus on lots of different things that interest me and will help reach many different audiences. Talking about the 90th shade of nude lipstick has literally lost its "Lustre" for me. I just want to talk about what makes me happy. Products I love, hate and NOT limited to makeup only. So Makeup'Asylum has now been laid to rest and I am happy to announce my new space here on blogger CanadianEcoMom. I will have a range of topics covered here on my blog and offering up info on products that are not only safe for you, but your family and the environment too. It's going to be a slow process as I am just beginning to transition my home into a more eco-minded space.Some things I have been doing for years and don't find them at all to be NEW solutions to helping the environment and being deemed safe. To me it's just common sense really. There are times not everyone will agree with my points of view and that is fine, but lets realize "We can agree to disagree" and end it at that. I hope you will all enjoy what is yet to come from this new journey and stick around for relateable content that EVERYONE can enjoy.
Here is my new logo for CanadianEcoMom which you can also find me on Instagram to.





HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE

LIVE CLEAN EXOTIC NECTAR COLLECTION

HI ALL,

So I am slowly trying to revamp my collection of body products and household items to more eco- friendly choices, as well as products that are less harmful on my skin and everyone in my family.

My interest in the "Live Clean" line started several years ago when I noticed that my baby's skin was having a reaction to Johnson's baby products. So as I walked the baby care aisle I noticed Live Clean, which at that time was newer to the market. I bought the shampoo & wash, as well as the lotion. That night after I bathed my baby with the product and put on some lotion I noticed what a gentle awesome smell this product had. It truly is a baby scent. I also noticed over the course of the week my child's skin returned to normal with no signs of rash, I was hooked on this wonderful product and it cost no more then the chemical filled Johnson products so it's definitely worth the switch.

Moving forward to today I have rediscovered my passion for live clean products, but this time it is the "EXOTIC NECTAR" collection which has a range of 8 products. I purchased the body lotion and body wash.

The body lotion dispenses a little more fluid then other lotions, but as you start to rub it in and it takes on a creamier consistency. I noticed it creates a shield over the surface of the skin and if you rub your skin an hour or so later it almost acts as though you have reactivated the lotion again to continue to hydrate.

 
I love that this particular collection has a nice nutty smell to it. For those that don't know Argan is a fruit that has a thick bitter peel, within that is an unpleasant flavoured pulpy flesh that only smells sweet. Deep within the Argan fruit is a hard nut that may only have a mere 2-3 seeds in it which Argan oil is extracted from.
The whole family can enjoy this product because it just smells good in a very unisex way.
 
Why not indulge further and take this amazing scent to the shower as well with this delicious creamy body wash. A must try for all fans of Argan products.
 
 
The body wash has a mild caramel colour to it similar to that of the Argan seeds on the label.
This gives a great lather, and easy rinsing. I find paired with the lotion is gives ultimate moisture that does last all day. I find if I use the lotion randomly throughout the day my hands have been feeling exceptionally soft, with no trace of a greasy feeling at all.
 
Live Clean states on their packaging the following
"Plant Based, Certified Organic Botanicals, Petroleum  Free, Mineral Oil, Paraben and Phthalate Free, Pure Vegan, Never tested on animals, Package recyclable, Biodegradable Ingredients, Hypoallergenic, Dermatologist tested."
 
That is a lot to promise in a product.
 
 
 
My only one concern about Live Clean is that I noticed in the ingredients that there is "Fragrance" which can be any number of other additional ingredients not clearly stated on the label for the consumer. Some of those ingredients may not be as skin and eco friendly as we would like and can often be the culprit for allergic reaction even though it is 98% plant based. So always keep that in mind when buying products.
 
The price range for Live Clean products is about $6-13 depending on what your purchasing.
If you sign up at their website they will email you a coupon.
 
If you want to check out other areas of Live Clean products head to a store near you or online at
 
 
Hope this all gave you some insight and that you will try Live Clean products soon
 
 
STAY CLEAN & BEAUTIFUL
