though i have never seen a study comparing the manufacturing and delivery and reclaiming costs of plastic vs glass, i highly recommend this: http://bit.ly/16XeaT
It took me decades to discover the joy of body wash and a loofah (now I know what I was missing). For a couple of years, I was stuck on products from Bath and Bodyworks, lovely stuff, lots of choice.
A few months ago I discovered Bodycology at a Walmart. I picked up the Peach Mango body wash (which I see now is not shown on their website). I don't want to leave the shower, because the smell is so good. ;-)
Anyway, I think I'll give your suggestion a shot as well, though it's in an entirely different price range than Bodycology...
Thanks for helping me cross something off of my to-do list. :-)
My awesome product tip that you've never heard of: honey incense sticks by L'Occitane. Yes, I know...incense are soooooo college. But these are different. Honestly, they're amazing. They don't seem to sell them online, but they have them at the stores (at least they did the last I checked). Here's the product page from the Brazilian site:

Lush also maintains eternal popularity- and I think they have an organic line...
But I got to say- I keep the Gotham Gal in my feed. I admire her style, taste, and modern sense of ethic (including Jewish Ethic). If I could turn into something similar to her one day- I would be very happy with myself. And she has awesome recipes...
And I would love to see her secret notes that every woman has about maintaining her life- like how she found and tracked down the bodywash in the first place....
Though I have to ask (as a total aside)-what is with men liking highly scented bodhywash?
I don't know why I like highly scented body wash. But I do
I am pro body wash, by the way, and don't mind the non-paid endorsement, but I am always curious about how things come into peoples consciousness.
2) What I liked most about this post is it just gave 1000's of bloggers a license not to take themselves and their blogs so seriously and permission to let loose. You made a statement to your readers that you can be a great blogger and not be 100% on topic all the time. This is a good thing. Blogs are as much personal as they are informational.
Well done Fred.
My experience in the personal care sector shows tremendous untapped conversations among men on their looks. Ply 'em with a few beers, ask a question, and they can't stop talking.
Men are the fastest growing segment in the personal care/vanity (a $60b+ industry). P&G and the other 'big boys' in personal care know it and are investing heavily. Anyone here noticed Gillette's new products and campaigning around men's hair removal? Hysterical.
See: "Manscaping Goes Mainstream": http://lookingood.com/2009/06/manscaping-goes-m.... (...And in full disclosure this IS a plug -- one of a number of projects i've been involved in recently)
Plus, as a marketer with a client in the organic, paraben-free cosmetics/hygiene world, someone like you certainly doesn't fall into the typical realm of "influencer" for this vertical. (I'm skeptical of the influencers and focus more on friend->friend WOM, but that's another story).
Either way, there was SOMETHING about this product experience that made you say "I want to share this with my network, regardless of how connected it is to my normal topic" and that something was different than the thousands of other products that you use daily/weekly, etc.
Just interesting to think about.
