In his book, Food Rules, Michael Pollan writes to avoid products containing ingredients that a third grader can't pronounce. It's a great rule of thumb for beauty products, too, and one in which Liz Neves of Raganella follows whether she's making a scrub for your face with powdered goat's milk and oatmeal (above, it's divine) or one for your tub, with baking soda, castile soap and rosemary essential oil.
Liz named her company using the Italian word for tree frog, a sensitive little creature with permeable skin. She simply intended to help people to live healthier, greener lives by teaching classes on things like composting and making natural beauty and cleaning products. While she still does plenty of classes, she found that many busy people would rather just buy her concoctions than follow her recipes on a regular basis.
Using her experience with herbalism and foraging, she's taking all-natural beauty products to the next level and incorporating wild plants into many things she makes. We highly recommend you check out her shop on Etsy. Or if you're feeling ambitious, try one of her awesome-sounding recipes, like this "mermaid's" body scrub made with kelp. -Claire
