LUX Beauty Boutique

12515 102 Avenue Northwest, Edmonton AB T5N 0M4

This beauty boutique carries a variety of beauty products that are eco-friendly. Wipe your slate (and face) clean with bamboo cleansing cloths, such as Kaia Naturals Juicy Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths. They remove makeup with zero water, reducing water waste (plus, it makes them perfect for camping. Unbleached bamboo has a smaller impact on the planet than conventional cleansing cloth materials – plus, it’s softer than a baby’s bottom. The cloths are soaked in citrus essential oils, plus honey, vitamins B12, C and E and jojoba oil.

If you’re interested in home composting, the Naturemill Ultra Composter is a great way to start. You just have to throw your veggies, coffee grinds, et cetera in the top and the machine will automatically mix, heat and aerate it. It will remind you to empty it every two weeks. It reduces the amount of stuff that ends up in a landfill and it works by itself? I say let the machines take over – they know what they’re doing.

Try a cozy, eco-chic t-shirt, such as the Patagonia Necessity v-neck. It's made with organically grown cotton, meaning the plant fibres were grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It’s very soft and looks like a regular t-shirt. The hue remains vibrant even though the shirt was dyed using dyes and fixing agents with the lowest impact on the environment possible.
