I was recently the lucky recipient of a gift bag filled with random goodies, and one of the products inside is one that I am really excited about.  They are mini shower gel packs by Pangea Organics, and they came in great scents like indian lemongrass with rosemary.  That isn't the only reason I was excited for them.  There was also a little piece of paper that informed me about Pangea Organics, and that their products are zero-waste.  What is zero-waste?  Well, the cartons that Pangea Organics products come in are made with 100% post-consumer recycled paper, and are mixed with organic seeds.  All you do is take off the label, soak the box in some water, and plant it in the ground, and you've got flowers and trees on the way.  What a unique and eco-friendly idea!

Pangea Organics offers a great selection of products on their website, including skin/body care and lip care.  They also offer gift sets that are incredibly affordable and really fun, with different options to chose from.  One set, the "Harmony" holiday set, includes a bar of soap, shower gel, body lotion and a soap dish in amazing scents.  The box that the set comes in will grow a Spruce tree, and includes gardening instructions.

All the products offered at Pangea Organics are made with organic materials, scents and seeds.  Pangea Organics products don't use any harsh chemicals, and the ingredients are always listed on the bottles and packages so you know exactly what it is made from.  Their website even offers an ingredient glossary, so you can always be sure that you know what you are putting on your body.  They figure that if you are going to care for your body and make it beautiful, you can do the same for the Earth at the same time.

You can order Pangea Organics products online, or find a store near you.  Their products are available at spas, co-ops and natural markets around the world.

Being green and eco-friendly does not have to be an ugly endeavor.  You can look and feel beautiful while keeping our planet looking and feeling just as good.  Beauty doesn't have to mean chemicals, dyes and scents.  There is no excuse for making our planet suffer so you can look good when there are options out there like Pangea Organics that will be good for you, and Mother Earth.
