Once in a blue moon, a beauty product sweeps me of my feet and makes me wonder how I survived without it for the last twenty-something years. My new treasure is l'Huile by CÎME, a multi-purpose dry oil that is 100% natural and contains an unique blend of six precious organic oils. Perhaps you remember this post (in Dutch) where I already told you about the Belgian, natural brand CÎME. CÎME products contain sustainably sourced natural and certified organic ingredients, without nasties like parabens, synthetic perfumes, phenoxyetanol, etc... In addition, the packaging is made from recyclable materials and the ingredients, prototypes & finished products are not tested on animals. Sounds really good, right?

If you have stepped into a The Body Shop store lately, chances are that your eyes were drawn to the new colourful packaging of the Hemp Hand Protector, designed by the famous street artist Ben Eine. Perhaps you thought that this is just another 'limited-edition-but-nothing-special-really', but trust me when I say that there is much more to this LE than just a fancy cover. It's an opportunity to make a change, which is in line with The Body Shop's new manifesto.
