When you think of October, you think of Halloween and Breast Cancer Awareness month. Did you know it’s also National Fair Trade Month? We love brands that give back and have selected 3 fair trade products that will make a difference on the homefront as well as for the workers overseas.
1. Shea Yeleen’s Body Care Collection
We love that these products are 100% fair trade; the female workers in Ghana receive fair wages for all of their hard labor and even earn 200% more than their competitors. The line includes everything from body butters to balms and prices range from $3 to $19. You’ll find solutions for dry skin, razor burn, stretch marks, and tons more. Keep a lookout for Shea Yeleen in the Whole Foods beauty department.
2. Fair Naturally Cocoa & Walnut Body Scrub ($26.67; includes delivery to the U.S.)
One of my good friends from home goes crazy for organic/Fair Trade beauty products. Last time I saw her she introduced me to the UK’s Fair Naturally’s Cocoa & Walnut Body Scrub that she uses as an exfoliator in the shower once or twice a week. She raved about the scent and the texture, and I knew instantly what she was talking about when she let me take a sample. I was obsessed with how moisturized my skin felt, so I decided to do some research and found out that Fair Naturally is a 100% Fair Trade company that offers a wide range of fun, organic products including their Cotton Range and Mango & Safflower lines.
3. Fair Trade Foot Lotion ($23.95)
I’ve been using this product for years. I’m a dancer, and I used to have horribly cracked, dry feet from always being on my toes. I would rub a little bit of this lotion on after my shower at night and would wake up the next day with my tootsies feeling incredibly soft. The smell is pleasant, the formula heals aches, and the organic cocoa butter that’s used in every product is 100% Fair Trade.
