beauty products you can eat
Buff Her
Buff Her calls all of its products "exfoliating food facial scrubs," because they're made exclusively using items you'd find in a kitchen — think yogurt, granola, blueberries, honey, lemon, lime. You can pick from a wide assortment or customize your own.
The Organic Pharmacy
UK-based The Organic Pharmacy recently launched a new line, Glamour Food , consisting of skincare essentials (hand lotion, body lotion, facial moisturizer, cleanser), all of which are formulated with natural food-grade ingredients.
The Body Deli
"Handcrafted by cosmetic chefs," all of The Body Deli 's products are raw and organic and made with a high concentration of superfoods.
Dairyface
Dairyface 's preservative-free face and body products are so natural, they must be stored in a fridge.
Shea Terra Organics
A natural skincare line, all of Shea Terra Organics ' products are made using unique, indigenous ingredients from Africa. Many of its shea butter-based chocolate products feel, smell and look just like fudge.
Bite Beauty
Bite Beauty is a natural lip care company that makes all of its products — glosses, tints, lipsticks, pencils, shines, balms, butters, primers, and more — without the use of synthetics, polybutenes and petroleum byproducts (a rarity for lip care), and everything is made exclusively with food-grade ingredients .
