Consumer Reports Files Petition Over Industry Misuse of "Organic"
Today, the publisher of Consumer Reports and the Organic Consumers Association filed a petition with the Federal Trade Commission. They're asking for action against the widespread false use of the word "organic" on beauty, skin care, and personal care products.
Makes sense, since many beauty products claim to be organic or natural when they're actually nothing of the sort.
H&M The Garden Collection: A Flower-Powered First Look
FabTV got a sneak preview of H&M’s eco-friendly, flower-filled spring line, The Garden Collection. With fabric made using organic and recycled materials, The Garden Collection brings together flowy, feminine designs inspired by green gardens, sunny landscapes, and ‘70s hippie chic. The collection hits H&M stores March 25th, and has us asking: is green the new black?
Get Your Food Minus the Chemicals
Last year I told you about a Consumer Reports study, which detected bisphenol A (BPA) in the inner lining of most canned goods. And while the FDA has yet to ban the use of BPA in food packaging, it did announce earlier this year that the industrial chemical may pose some concern. As a result, the government agency is investing $30 million into a more comprehensive study on the effects BPA has on infants and adults.
Beauty Byte: H&M's Affordable Organic Skincare Range
I'm still so excited about H&M's new organic skincare range. More details emerged today about the affordable eco friendly line that launches next week. It’s said to be aimed at the growing socially conscious tween market market, but I have a hunch it will be a hit across all generations.
Baby Cow Organics Keeps Lil Hides Soft
Organic baby products are a dime a dozen these days. Everyone thinks they can cash in on mamas' desires to give their lil ones all natural products, but some just don't get the job done.
Discerning parents, like the celebs who frequent the ultraposh SoHo House private club and hotel in New York and London, have been treated to the luxe products created by the Cowshed spa for years.
H&M Goes Organic With Body Care
One more reason to like H&M: in just a couple of weeks, the Swedish fast-fashion chain is introducing a line of body care made with organic ingredients. Ecocert, the European certification organization, has given its green stamp of approval to the range of shower gels, body scrubs, lotions, hand creams, and lip balm. As you'd expect from H&M, it's also affordable.
The 15 Loveliest Looks From the First Half of Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week is now in its fifth day, and hundreds of looks have already come down the runways. But though all the hair and makeup is undoubtedly cool, only a few looks will actually translate from the runway to your office or next date. To help you get on-trend fast, I've gathered the 15 prettiest, easiest to create looks from the shows so far.
Chocolate Gets Even Yummier
I'm a sucker for Valentine's Day, mostly because I'll take any excuse you throw at me to eat chocolate. Heck, even my doctor says I should incorporate a little bit of dark chocolate into my diet — it can soothe a cough, increase blood flow, and lower blood pressure. Dark chocolate is also full of flavonoids, the antioxidant family that help protect the heart.
Eco-Conscious Playdates Make a Splash
Imagine a baby's first sentence including words like "reduce, reuse, and recycle." As we raise a new generation of eco-conscious citizens, it might not be too far-fetched an idea. With playrooms stocked with eco-friendly wooden toys, nursery closets filled with organic cotton clothing, and freezers stocked with homemade, all natural organic purees, our lil ones are learning about their impact on the earth from the moment they enter the world.
Should You Splurge on Organic Beer?
When grocery shopping, you'll discover that organic fruits and veggies can be more than twice as expensive as conventional versions. But for some produce, I think it's worth the splurge knowing they weren't sprayed with chemicals. What about organic beer?
