I read this fascinating story on NPR here. An all-natural insect repellant called nootkatone found in Alaska yellow cedar trees and citrus fruits (like grapefruit) is being developed by the CDC. It is so safe for humans, it is even an FDA-approved food additive. Nootkatone is not only safe for humans and the environment, it is a highly effective insect repellant. In fact, it is not only a bug repellant, but an insecticide causing death to biting insects like mosquitoes within 15 seconds. Application of 2% nootkatone will also control ticks for up to 42 days at greater than 97 percent efficacy. It is non-greasy, dries very quickly, and it has a very pleasant, citrus-y grapefruit odor to it. Sounds too good to be true… But it is true! The only downside right no...

With all of the face creams, lotions, serums, and treatments on the market today, it’s easy to get caught up in the promises of each product. And when no matter what you wear your skin is always showing, anything that improves it seems like a worthy investment. But aside from what the label says, the best thing you can do for your skin is feed it from the inside out. Here are just a few nutrients your skin might be craving. Vitamin C This vitamin helps the skin is two ways, as an antioxidant and in collagen production. As an antioxidant it acts as a natural protector against free radicals that come from pollutants in the environment, smoking, or sun da...

Thankfully, we somehow doubt that this Lipton Green Tea commercial will have the same effect. The song definitely isn’t as catchy, and, above all, this fish really gives us the creeps. He has teeth. And a tongue. And don’t even get us started on those oysters. The whole thing makes us crabby. What the hell do fish have to do with green tea anyway? We’d rather see little tea bags singing and dancing or something. Anything but fish with human mouths. But we have a feeling we’ll be seeing this sea creature again soon – in our nightmares. via AdWeek Post from: BlissTree Lipton Green...

Citric Acids Citric acids can be derived from any citrus fruit.  Limes, lemons, oranges and pineapples are commonly used in skincare products, especially daily cleansers. While the mild acids will not provide a significant improvement after a single application, when used on a daily basis they may provide a gradual improvement.  They work to break up excessive oil and dead skin cells, which is beneficial for whiteheads, blackheads and acne prevention. Lactic and Malic Acid Many of the over-the-counter exfoliants contain a combination of citric, lactic and malic acids.  Lactic acid may ...
