The Green Goddess “Biologika” Hand Cream Giveaway
Click here for more Natural Beauty Week Giveaways and more!
If there’s one natural product I’m always interested in finding, it’s a good hand lotion. I’m up here in the frigid North, and although we suffer from humid summers, the dry of winter is always looming around the corner. With it comes dry, cracked hands, something I’m always battling. The Green Goddess, an online store featuring all those deliciously natural health and beauty aides we love around here, carries a fantastic hand cream from Biologika. Not only does it contain apricot oil in its short, safe list of ingredients, but it’s made in France - oui, oui.
On my recent hiatus, I did a lot of herb hunting in the northern forests. I had my hands in some fantastic dirt, and so I spent a lot of time scrubbing my hands at the end of the day. Fortunately, I’d packed my Biologika Hand Cream so I never had a problem with dry skin. For me, one sure sign of a good hand lotion is discovering that even if I skip a day of usage, my hands are still feeling great. I experienced this with Biologika one day, so I’m confident it’s healing at a deeper skin level than just at the surface.
The Green Goddess carries a large line of products just as impressive as Biologika. Their site is a lot of fun to shop around in, and I’ve discovered a lot of companies I didn’t even know existed. I’d like you to discover The Green Goddess too. They’re giving away a Biologika Hand Cream to one of you (a $22 retail value), so take a visit to their online store and do some “window shopping”. Come back here and tell me what you’ve found.

While pregnant, I had the BEST skin ever…I’m tempted just to get pregnant to get that skin back, but I’d love to give the Bod Deep Clarifying Mask a try…might be a little easier than being pregnant!

I’d like to try the Segreti di Natura Men’s Shaving Gel. My husband needs to get on the natural beauty product express, and I’d love for him to stop buying that foaming stuff in a can, which can’t be recycled.

I think I would most like to try the Beauty Brazil Lip Butter, as I’ve never heard of cupuacu butter before. I’m also interested in the Segreti di Natura Shea and Jojoba Hand Cream, because it looks like a nice unscented alternative to regular lotions, and the Toni Naturals Peppermint and Rosemary Soap because I like that combination.
I like how this company shares information about kitchen cosmetics on their tips page - if you order something, it gives you something to use while you wait.
August 25th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
I found the Maui Sports Bath Salts and the Maui Sport Soap Cake for men interesting. This would be so much nicer for my husband and me. He could use his own products instead of using mine!
August 25th, 2008 at 12:30 pm
My favorite would ahve to be the AHAVA mineral shampoo. Thanks for the contest.
August 25th, 2008 at 12:47 pm

I’m pregnant with my 3rd child in 3 years, so I’m probably past helping, but I’d still like to try the Bod Stretch Mark Blend! Thanks for the great giveaway!!

AHAVA Uplifting Butter Salt Mandarin Cedar this sounds like something I can’t live without!, and the mineral foundation with hemp seed, sounds like something I will turn all my girl friends onto.
I have 5 more things on the salts page and there is a page 2! I am in trouble!
ok, I making this my last observation, then I am going to make myself bookmark and leave the site for the sake of my monthly bills. AHAVA Dermud Intensive Body Cream, sounds like a protective heaven.
August 25th, 2008 at 2:32 pm
I can’t quite relate to the harsh cold, although when I lived in Chicago I sure could. However, the southwest sure leaves the hands feeling awful it seems like all year long. Bod Sandalwood, Rosewood & Patchouli Body Oil Blend this just sounds like the most divine combination of scents to me. I’m an earthy person and would love a little of this someday.

August 25th, 2008 at 6:09 pm
Foundation number three with hemp seed looks like a winner. With my chemical sensitivities, it is hard to find any makeup that I can use. I was surprised when I read the site to find out mercury is allowed in mascara as a preservative. I wondered why I’ve had such problems with mascara. Anyway, it is nice to know of a site where I can purchase natural cosmetics.

August 25th, 2008 at 9:28 pm

August 25th, 2008 at 9:56 pm
The BOD Sandalwood, Rosewood, & Patchouli Body Oil blend sounds absolutely heavenly to rub on right before climbing in bed at night.
August 25th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
i like the Segreti di Natura Stretch Mark Prevention Oil - because i have a lot already and don’t need any more
August 25th, 2008 at 10:46 pm

I would like to check out their white tea cleansing gel and exfoliant for acne prone skin. Actually, I would like to check out their AHAVA mineral cleansing cream for normal skin, but such is not to be for me…
August 25th, 2008 at 11:53 pm

I would LOVE to try this, my hands are begging for it (and winter is just around the corner o.0 it’s only going to get worse, lol).
Wow, what a great site, I really liked their ‘did you know’ section, and talk about variety! I really liked the Segreti di Natura Men’s Facial Moisturizing Cream…it’s hard to talk my husband into trying my natural lotions, and he won’t listen to my insistence that he’s poisoning himself and the environment with what he puts on his face, but if it’s labeled specifically for men, he’ll gladly slap it on…geesh!

In addition to the Hand Cream, I also like the DOFTA Country Charm Yellow Sun Lamp and the AHAVA Mineral Body Exfoliator.
August 26th, 2008 at 3:07 am
How do you choose?????????
I would LOVE to try anything.
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmmmmm
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
August 26th, 2008 at 3:38 am
I like the Dofta flameless candles to clean the air. I am not sure how they work, but they are intriguing and the lamps are beautiful.
I also love soy candles that can be used a hand moisturizer.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:01 am
Because I love all things lavender, the Biologika Gel de Lavande Cleansing Gel is right up my alley! It is 96% organic and is made with organic lavender with first cold-pressed sunflower oil and a hint of vanilla extract. Almost good enough to eat!
August 26th, 2008 at 7:41 am
AHAVA mineral body lotion
August 26th, 2008 at 8:09 am
The Ahava Uplifting Butter Salts and the Amazonian Nutrients shampoos sound great.
August 26th, 2008 at 8:35 am
My fav would be the AHAVA Stress Melt Butter Salt, AHAVA mineral hand cream and foot cream, and Pearls-Rubies-Roses Ruby Body Peel
August 26th, 2008 at 8:42 am
I loved almost everything on the site, but especially the carrot day cream and the amazonian nutrients shampoo.

Organic Apoteke Detox Facial Mask, Certified Organic
August 26th, 2008 at 12:50 pm
If anything can make the urban jungle bearable, it would have to be the Maui Salons Coconut and Macadamia Nut Shampoo and conditioner. Yes, I want luxurious, shiny and full bodied hair like Hawaiian women! Sounds yummy too!
August 26th, 2008 at 1:04 pm
Sorry don’t know how to blog - but thank you for such a wonderful prize.

I’d love to try the AHAVA Purifying Mud Soap, since I have somewhat acne-prone skin. The Organic Apoteke Active Herbal Toner, Certified Organic could be nice too - I still haven’t found a toner I really like.
August 26th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
I think the AHAVA Uplifting Butter Salt Mandarin Cedar salt scrub sounds lovely.

I could really use the Organic Apoteke Rejuevenating Face Mask!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:49 pm
Gee, Kind of hard to pick a FAVORITE!!!!! There are so many products. But, I would have to say that the Beauty Brazil Anti-Ageing Serum sounds good. The Maui Salons Coconut/Macadamia Nut Shampoo and Conditioner sound good, too. Thank you.
August 26th, 2008 at 6:51 pm
The item that struck me as a “must have” was the AHAVA Multi-Vitamin Dry Oil. With its minty fragrance, I am sure this would be one of the most soothing skin care product ever!
August 26th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
I did not expect to visit this site and learn about all the uses of WD-40. How awesome that list is. I never knew that it was mostly fish oil. I always assumed it was petroleum based. I have some mirrors to treat so they don’t fog up.

August 26th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
I’m really liking the sounds of the Time Line Elixirs! Like the eye cream, continual eye treat and the all day moisture.
By the way, living in the north too, I fight continual dry hand issues myself!
August 26th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
Formaldehyde… the stuff used to embalm dead bodies…. and the US still uses it in cosmetics…. NICE!!!!!!!!!! I wonder, is it used as a preservative?! Anyhow, I am big on that whole school of thought, where, if you wouldn’t eat it… then you shouldn’t use it on your body… after all, the skin is the body’s largest organ, and it absorbs whatever is on it into the blood stream…. just some food for thought…… I’d like nice, soft, youthful hands…. without having to risk poisioning my body to get them… this sounds like it would fo the trick. Besides, it’s french… and we all know that the french are tres sexy!!!!
August 26th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
OOH! I totally love the ColourChange Lipstick by LEPO. I had a lipstick like that as a teen. I wish it came in a smaller sampler pack so you could try the individual colors before you committed to just one.
August 26th, 2008 at 9:01 pm
Woah! Lead in my lipstick? I need to check out some alternatives. Thanks for putting me onto that site.

Although I hear it is good for the skin and I often find myself covered in mud (and fingerpaint and food and whatever else my children are playing in), it never seems to help MY skin. I figure I am just not “using” the right mud. I would love to try the AHAVA purifyung mud mask for oily skin. If nothing else, at least this time *I* will be the one responsible for covering face in mud;0)

I have to admit some of the info on the home page about the lead content of 33 trusted beauty brands scared me! I use one of them! YIKES!
I would love to try Bod Sandalwood, Rosewood & Patchouli Body Oil Blend, I love indulging with a good body oil right after the shower with my skin still slightly damp, it really seals in moisture, and this one sounds so decadent!
