Green, Clean and Now, Travel-Friendly

Is it peculiar that the older I get, the more enticing words like "multi-functional" become? That reasoning, in part, is behind this post, in which I tout the do-everythingness of Kiss My Face's new Peace Soap, now perfectly packaged in 3.4 oz. travel sizes.

In addition to it's eco-friendly cred (paraben- and phthalate-free and bottled in 50 percent recycled plastic) and biodegradable nature, 10 percent of its profits go to the youth leadership organization Seeds of Peace. That scores major points in my book - as does the $2.99 price tag. And the heavenly scents.

With moisturizing organic jojoba oils, cleansing coconut oils, plus olive, orange, lavender, lemongrass and clary sage oils (that's a heckuva lot of oils, right?), the suds can clean anything from people to pets to pots without doing damage to whichever dirty destination you've fallen into... case in point, northern Michigan, evidenced in the above photo. On our lake, you either get dirty or go inside.

You can find the 100 percent natural, all-purpose soap @ Whole Foods or KissMyFace.
