A twice-weekly sharing of eco-shwag.
Tomorrow’s World Fair Trade Day, so today’s freebie’s appropriately a fair trade gift pack from The Body Shop!
Valued at $65, The Body Shop fair trade gift pack includes a Cocoa Butter Body Scrub, Cocoa Butter Creamy Body Wash, Coconut Foaming Bath, Handy Massager, and an organic cotton Green Tote.
What’s fair trade about the pack? The bath and body goodies are made with cocoa butter and organic soy oil harvested with fair trade standards. You can find out more about The Body Shop’s Community Trade program here.
That said, not all ingredients in these products will be beloved by green LA girl readers. Yes, we’re talking parabens in the foaming bath, so you may want to put the ingredients — all listed on The Body Shop’s site — through Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep cosmetic database before committing to the drawing.
Comment by Tuesday to get into the drawing, which’ll happen Wednesday (more info on freebies here). US addresses only.
ahh..this is a great freebie! if not for the foaming bath, more for the handy massager and green tote. count me in!

Hi, I’m not eligible for the freebie. I just wanted to leave a comment asking you and your readers 2 tweet about fair trade today so that the term will ‘trend’ on the twitter homepage.

I like that the bag says that Green is more than a color because it is or at least it should be.
