Why we love the brand 100% Pure
We have been carrying products from 100 Percent Pure since 2008. I remember receiving the sales brochure from them in the mail and freaking out over how great everything sounded. Since I am personally a big fan of skin products that sound or smell edible, there was no way I was going to let this line pass us by.
Over these past 4 years, we have expanded our selection of this fantastic company due to increasingly high customer popularity and demand. 100 Percent Pure continues to be innovative and maintain their strict rules for absolutely no animal testing or the use of synthetic ingredients. I came across a link on the internet the other day that is a great interview with the woman who started the company, Susie Wang. It contains a lot of fascinating insight into the brand and the ethics behind it. You can read it right here:

If you haven’t tried anything from this company, come by the Body Care department and try their scrumptious Coconut Body Lotion, our top selling item out of the whole line!

Alaffia Everyday Shea Line
We recently added the Everyday Shea body care line to our selection here at Healthy Living. Everyday Shea is an extension of Alaffia, a fair trade skin care line created to primarily support the reduction of poverty in West Africa.
Everyday Shea products give you ultimate moisture retention and effectiveness in value sizes for reasonable prices (a 32 oz body lotion, body wash or hair care product is only $13.99). There are three uncomplicated scents to choose from: Vanilla Mint, Lavender and Unscented. These products are rich in shea butter, yet emollient enough to absorb quickly into your skin. If you or your family suffer from dry, itchy, winter skin this line is for you!
Everyday Shea has added kids and baby care products to their line as well in the past month. I encourage you to check out their gentle, natural formulas which are also a great price and a great value. Healthy Living is proud to be part of offering this wonderful line to our customers while supporting fair trade and Alaffia’s mission.
