Weleda Birch Body Scrub

Wl0167_2 Swimsuit season is approaching, and if your skin is looking as dry and ashy as ours, we suggest you take action before Memorial day rolls around. Organic skincare giant Weleda recently introduced their new Birch Body Scrub, just in time to save our hides. The formula uses pure plant oils and extracts to exfoliate and, more importantly, diminish the appearance of cellulite, so your bod looks toned and polished when you slip on that string bikini - or modest tank suit.

No More Nits

QuitnitsIt's a dreaded milestone of parenting: lice. Treat it naturally with Quit Nits, an Aussie-created lice treatment and prevention product. Instead of chemicals, its active ingredient is Quassia amara, a bark extract that includes a non-toxic insecticide. Overnight, the lice stop producing eggs, thus leaving your kid (and your home) nit-free. And in the case of an outbreak at school, the preventative spray is a preemptive attack on the little buggers. For more healthy tips, see our index.

Bring that attitude to your table with the Blue Ribbon Naked Nuggets. These all-natural kid faves have no breading, only white meat chicken, seasonings, and spices. The nuggets are grilled and have about half the calories and fat of the run-of-the mill variety. In otherwords, nuggets are at their best in the buff!

Doctor (Mom) Recommended

Md Though Grandma may have taught you that Vaseline was the best moisturizer, petroleum and mineral oil can be irritating to tender, developing skin. With this in mind, Diane Troung and JJ Levenstein—two pediatricians who also happen to be mothers—put their heads together to develop Baby Silk, a hypoallergenic line of products made with natural ingredients like shea butter, aloe, and vitamin-E oil. And the "M.D. Moms" clearly understand a mother's need for convenience, as evidenced by products like sunscreen wipes, umbilical-cord swabs, and a liquid-to-powder lotion in a tube you can open with one hand.
