the perfect travelling companions: worldproducts

worldbeauty I don’t know about you, but when I travel, I like to carry as little as possible! Since I wear contacts, my toiletry bag is already weighted down with my glasses case and contact solution before adding things like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, blah, blah, blah….You get the picture.

So I was super excited when I got a press release yesterday about worldPRODUCTS created by Brian Phillips of Toronto’s worldSALON and hairstylist to celebrities like Kim Cattrall, Terrence Howard, k.d. lang, James Marsden, Norah Jones and Jessica Stam.

worldCLEAN, worldPROTECT and worldBELIEVE are products that can be used on both hair and skin and so cut down on the things you need to lug around with you when travelling, plus they have no artificial colours or fragrances, sodium lauryl sulphates or parabens and the packaging is recyclable. All of which made me a happy camper even before trying them out. And when I did try them out, I was impressed.

worldCLEAN is a hair and skin cleanser, worldPROTECT a hair and skin moisturizer, and worldBELIEVE a salve you can use anywhere to relieve skin inflammation, chapping, and cuts and scrapes (and it’s gentle enough for babies!). There’s no fragrance, so that might take some getting used to if you’re accustomed to things that smell. But I loved the fact the products are multiuse (take the worldPROTECT: I used it as a conditioner, dabbed it in my hair as a styling product, and also as a cream on my legs!), plus they do a great job. Who could ask for anything more?

Available at: www.world.ca or worldSALON, 132 Adelaide St. E., Toronto

Price: Limited time offer until Aug. 31, 2009 on the worldPRODUCT trio, $75 (worldCLEAN, 360 mL; worldPROTECT, 360mL; worldBELIEVE, 60mL); bottles can be brought back to the salon and refilled for 20% off (not including limited offer price)

brad pitt & kiehl’s team up

Who ever would have guessed I’d be writing about Brad Pitt in this blog? Not me! But the mega Hollywood star has teamed up with Kiehl’s to promote their new Aloe Vera Biodegradable Body Cleanser, which will be available in October.

The cleanser is cradle-to-cradle certified, free of parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate*, sodium laureth sulfate* and dyes and comes in a 100% food-grade, post-consumer recycled bottle.

100% of the net profits from the sales will go to JPF Eco Systems, which was founded with Pitt and which supports global environmental initiatives, including Make it Right, a charity which is currently helping to fund construction of environmentally sustainable, affordable housing in New Orleans for the displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina. Pitt is seen above touring New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina.

*Sodium laureth sulfate and sodium lauryl sulfate are detergents and surfactants found in personal care products such as soap, toothpaste shampoo, cleansers and bubble baths. They’re most commonly used in these products as a foaming agent and can irritate skin.

Available at: Kiehl’s in October; www.kiehls.com
