A twice-weekly sharing of eco-shwag.
Today’s giveaway’s a sample 50 ml tube of Korres Yoghurt Cooling Gel. (regular size: $23.50 at Amazon for 150 ml)
I haven’t tried this cooling after-sun face and body gel myself — I generally try to avoid getting burned by the sun in the first place — but I have had many readers recommend Korres’ products to me. Environmental Working Group’s Skin Deep gives the gel a very safe 0 rating — but the database clearly got its rating from an incomplete ingredients list. The full list is available at Amazon, if you’ve got the time to enter each individual ingredient into the database yourself.
The product contains real yogurt, and thus won’t work for hardcore vegans. Comment or email by Sunday to get into the drawing, which’ll happen Monday (more info on freebies here). US addresses only.
Oh, I’ve tried this stuff. Its great!

My sons need a cooling agent from being in the sun a lot in the summer. Please enter me in your drawing. As always, many thanks!

DON’t USE THIS BRAND AT ALL!!
for the first 2 days, it was great, i was loving it, and spreading the word about how great this product is, and then i started to break out all over my body like never before! i was covered in small bumps!! It was so bad that i couldn’t even look at myself for a week! then, i got this lip balm made by the same guys except i didn’t know at the time, and same thing happened to my lips! it broke out like crazy, and i suffered once again for a week to recover. It was the worst experience i’ve ever had with a product. this NEVER happens to me, so i don’t know what it is with this brand, but i know for sure, it’s not good for me.

misscloe — It sounds like your skin may be allergic to dairy products, maybe?
