As bona fide beauty addicts, we spent many a Saturday night (in our more single states) hunting, gathering, stirring and brewing batches of creative concoctions to slather on our skin. 100% Pure is the result we were looking for, though never quite achieved. This Berkeley-based organic apothecary creates 100 percent vegetarian and vegan products comprised of ingredients like white tea, extracts of cranberry, blackberry and pomegranate, essential oils of blood oranges and eucalyptus, cinnamon, thyme, rosemary, cocoa beans, cocoa butter, honey, and other delicious natural treasures. You won’t find synthetic chemicals, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, alcohol, animal by-products, artificial colors or fragrances, or any other toxic ingredients. What’s interesting is that despite their all-natural-all-the-time approach, the products are incredibly pretty. The shower gels are as colorful as the fruit from which they sprung—the Fresh Squeezed Strawberry Lemonade Juicy Shower Gel looks good enough to drink, and the Organic Blueberry Shower Gel resembles a syrup you’d want to pour over pancakes. The formulations are pleasing in practice, too, all foamy and hydrating, creamy and nourishing. One of our favorites, the Organic Vanilla Buttercream Body Scrub with pure Tahitian Vanilla absolute and Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla extract, leaves us as smooth as can be and smelling as sweet as a cupcake. If all this doesn’t entice you to try them, read the comments on the site’s Testimonial page—seems everyone from ultrasensitive babies to ultra-picky babes love the stuff.

We don’t know about you but we are tired of natural shower gels that don’t lather well and don’t even get us started on the same old tired fragrances. Enter one of our new favorite products, the shower gel from 100 Percent Pure. This all-natural non-irritating, non-stripping and non-dehydrating product foams up like nobody’s business, leaves no soapy residue and comes in a delightful assortment of fresh scents. Our current favorite is Strawberry Lemonade, made from real strawberries and lemon juice and loaded with antioxidants and Vitamins C and E. It smells so much like the real deal that you will want to pour it in a pitcher and serve it over ice. The best part is that not only will your skin be squeaky-clean, but your conscience will be, as well, because 100 Percent Pure products are vegan and cruelty-free. Made from nothing but food ingredients, the products are never tested on animals and the company takes great pride in its animal activism and the fact that it works diligently to support the causes that help promote ethical animal treatment. www.100percentpure.com.
