Tom's of Maine
Reviewed by Ecosaveology
Since I was very young and growing up in Maine & NH my mother would only use Tom's of Maine. The factory may still give tours, the outlet store is worth the trip! If you live in Kennebunkport you can buy Tom's of Maine Recycle bins for roadside pick up. They are a long time Eco company and stand by their products. I love fennel toothpaste, Sister "Hannah Hardaway" olympian freestyle skier uses many of their products too.

I love this site for the abundance of information. It is an eye opener to an average consumer. It is shocking to learn how much junk is in mainstream cosmetics and personal care products. Must to visit.

Hand It To You, Hand Cream is a cut above the rest. My hands used to be so dry and cracked in the cold New England winters, not anymore! Since I have found this hand cream, I don't have to deal with that anymore. I love it so much, it is now a staple for my kids teacher gifts at the Holidays. Thank you Garden Girl!

I am a huge fan of Garden Girl products. My kids love Rub-a-Dub and the bathtime animal mittens that came with it, and I feel confident using Little Lamb on their skin knowing it's composed of safe and natural ingredients. I've become a convert to so many Garden Girl products for myself because each one I've tried has performed beautifully while allowing me to keep my commitment to using paraben-free products. I highly recommend No Worries (face cream for sensitive skin - great), Hand it To You (the best hand cream EVER and smells terrific), the bath salts (my favorite is Liven Up which is spicy), Zippity Do Dah for feet, and Hugs and Smooches (vanilla and chocolate body butters which I have to hide from the rest of my family because they constantly use them up). I've also tried all of the bath gels and love the matching lotions. These products are of the highest quality yet are very reasonably priced. I also send them as gifts to all of the women in my life and everyone LOVES them!

I am new to the Garden Girl products and I am completely hooked! I started with a trial size assortment and had to order more before I ran out. My face just doesn't feel clean unless I use the products. I have tried many other facial cleansers, but have never felt they worked like the Garden Girl cleansers. Also, when I use the moisterizer, I almost feel like I do not need make-up, because they offer such a natural glow. I would highly recommend the Garden Girl products. I even have the moisturizer in my restaurant's ladies' room and our customers rave about it.

Love, love, love No Worries moisturizer. It's so thick and rich and never leaves my skin feeling greasy or looking oily. I use it morning and night, and couldn't live without it!
California Baby
Reviewed by Luke Fretwell
We began using California Baby after reading about it on the EWG Skin Deep site (www.cosmeticsdatabase.com). The baby shampoo and bodywash we use is low hazard (surprising what's on the market that is high hazard) and smells great. It's dense, so we dilute it with water. Thank you CB for putting out such a great line of products.

Hand it to You hand cream is great for your hands and doesn't overwhelm you with it's scent--it smells clean and natural! It is absorbed in no time and not heavy and oily like other "repair lotions." I love the Nature Nurture anti-wrinkle cream, expecially when paired with the Starting Over microdermabrasion wash. They're not harsh, but full of all natural ingredients that we can understand, like avocado and grapeseed oils and jojoba as well as fruit extracts and aloe. They leave my face fresh and light, not layered in chemicals. I recommend these products whole heartedly!
