Beauty Essentials for Camping

Being outside makes me feel like a goddess ~ but not as much as accessing proper hygiene products & clean water!

My goals are to feel clean, scent-free (not attract bugs) and to do as little harm as possible to the natural environment.

GO-TO PRODUCTS:

Dr. Bronner's Pure Castille Liquid Soap - Scent-free:

Dr. Bronner's have been in the clean soap game for a while now. Their products are widespread and can be found at most health food stores. Their soap is made with organic oils and fair trade ingredients, without harmful synthetics! In addition to washing your body, you can also wash dishes and your hands! It's ranked as a #1 (fair) on EWG Skin Deep, is a PETA cruelty-free company and is certified with Leaping Bunny as cruelty-free.

Andalou Naturals Brightening Vitamin C BB Beauty Balm - Sheer Tint, SPF 30:

This BB has been my ride-or-die for years. It's the perfect sunscreen with 30 SPF and has a sheer mineral tint to make skin look flawless! I don't bring cover-up because of it. It contains vitamin C and is 98% derived from natural ingredients, is certified with Leaping Bunny as cruelty-free and is vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free. It's ranked as a #2 (low hazard) on EWG Skin Deep - meaning there's robust data on its safety and a number of studies available.

Soap Bar: The Soap Works - Sea Salt:

Gave this product a try and loved it as a neutral-smelling & deep cleaning, sudsy body-wash. It comes package free and is completely biodegradable. Soap Works never uses parabens, SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), phthalates, phosphates, bisphenol or microbeads (exfoliant/abrasive agent)!

Jason Deodorant - Soothing Apricot:

I haven't found my one true love deodorant, but this comes very close! It has apricot oil and zinc, as well as baking soda to neutralize odors. The scent is very subtle and lasts during activities, with re-applying every few hours. It is ranked as a #4 on EWG Skin Deep due to limited data, but there is no aluminum, parabens or phthalates in it!

Green Beaver Beauty Co. Sunscreen - SPF 40:

I love this moisturizing, mineral sunscreen! It has an SPF 40 that's effective against UVA & UVB rays. It's made with zinc oxide and works for 80-minutes during water and perspiration activities. Green Beaver products are Ecocert certified organic, biodegradable and use recyclable packaging and FSC certified paper - which is paper that has been harvested in a responsible manner. There are no synthetic substitutes, it's benzene-free (found in crude oils) and majority of ingredients are Canadian grown organic. It is great for swimming, be sure to apply 30 minutes before entering the water. Most Green Beaver products rank at a #2 on EWG Skin Deep.

Change Toothpaste - Bubble Gum:

These teeth brushing tablets were awesome - just chew and brush! They are made using natural, vegan-friendly ingredients in Canada. Designed for everyday use for 1 month in their small, compostable package. They are airplane, camping & all-around travel friendly.

Bottle None Shampoo Bar - beBRIGHT

Really loved washing my hair with this PH balancing, eco-friendly & package free product! The beBRIGHT is perfect for blondes and is salon grade - my hair looked fantastic after. The bars last for 50+ washes and are free from parabens, SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), SCS (sodium coco sulfate) & Phthalates and are hand-made in Canada.
