Healthy, Natural and BIRCHBOX!
Ingredient conscious picks category added to their websiteBirchbox has added an “ingredient conscious picks category” to their website. I’m so happy!

Hang Ten Classic Sport SPF50 This one I’m kinda on the fence on this one. No cones (issue for me, not everyone) and no synthetic fragrances and some of the other common nasties. It can be hard to find a good healthy sunscreen but not impossible. Or at least it’s easier online. This one based on…
