Green, clay-like toothpaste. Doesn't sound like something you want to clean your mouth with, right? Well, according to Bethany Stauffer, a beauty expert at La Encantada's Product by Maria Martin, this clay-based paste from Fresh works wonders. Fresh is a very luxurious, all-natural line, Stauffer explained. According to the Sephora Web site, who also sells Fresh products, the line was started by Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg when the pair realized that there was a lack of beautifully-packaged, sweet-smelling soaps that actually worked available on the market. After developing their very first soap line, the ideas kept running and the twosome continued expanding into the beauty industry with everything from lotions and cleansers to perfumes and body scrubs.
Eventually, Fresh began creating products made with Umbrian clay. According to Stauffer, white clay (which is what this green substance is made of) possessed mystical qualities in old civilizations, and which is why it was originally used on the body. 
Toothpaste is not the only umbrian clay product that Fresh carries. Additionally, the line sells umbrian clay masks, cleansers, treatment bars and face lotions. According to Stauffer, if you can get past the initial shock of the greenish tint (and the not-so-pleasant scent), it is obvious even after the first use that your teeth feel cleaner and whiter.

One of Fresh's popular and high-end items is the Creme Ancienne ($250 for 3.5 oz.). According to Stauffer, this French product is handmade by monks in a monastery and harvested once a year. Ingredients include rosewater, beeswax, borax, chamomile wax, meadowfoam oil and vitamin E.
On a different note...
With Thanksgiving and Christmas quickly approaching, I found some festively-scented organic bath and body products that are just what you need to get you in the holiday spirit.
This Web site is PACKED with special edition organic, holiday-scented body scrubs. Scents include Gingerbread Sugar Cookie, Pecan Pie Divine, Eggnog Cupcake, Candy Cane Chai Latte, and many many more that sound good enough to eat!
This moisturizer claims to moisturize, heal and repair with ingredients such as organic pumpkin seed oil, organic jojoba oil and a blend of organic pumkin seed and licorice leaf.
For firming and toning, this all-over body cream claims to burn body fat tissue and regenerate collagen fibers, reducing the appearance of cellulite. The cinnamon works as a stimulating agent and the paprika serves to revitalize. Eminence also carries other holiday-inspired lotions in scents like chocolate souffle and sugar plum.
Stock up on these special-edition products, because after Thanksgiving they are sure to fly off the shelves!
