Trillium Organics, Review and Giveaway (Closed)
You probably read, maybe even here about the USDA law soon to apply to personal care just the same as food? Well Trillium Organics is listed as company to trust from OCA. And is on their BUYcot list. =)
Trillium Herbal Company, Incorporated was started in 1994 by Karen Ciesar. Since its inception, Trillium Organics has grown to include over fifteen different products, most notably Organic Body Polish. A majority of Trillium’s most popular products are listed on the Skin Deep website, which rates toxicity in cosmetics. Trillium regularly shows up as TOP RATED and are some of the safest products in any of the categories.
Trillium Herbal Company, Inc., a Certified Woman Owned Business located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin has earned its Organic Certification from the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA). From the beginning, Trillium has sought to produce a beneficial product using honest organic ingredients while creating a positive impact on the planet.
Trillium earned the Leaping Bunny certification from PETA, which denotes that the operations are 100% Cruelty Free. To that end, all of Trillium’s products are carefully hand blended in small batches. Trillium works with local, domestic, and fair trading suppliers and its operations are designed to support purity, consistency and certifiable authenticity. Trillium is certified to be a sustainably managed business by Green America (formerly Co-op America). To lessen its carbon footprint, packaging is all coded #1 PETE, and is 100% recyclable.
Trillium *scent* me their Clementine and Clove Collection. There is not a better scent for this time of year out on the market. It is slightly warming, fresh and with a sweet & spicy kick. It energizing with the clementine and the clove, well clove is an aphrodisiac. So yes, it is quite sexy. The set included:
Botanical Body Soap
Organic Shea Butter
Organic Body Oil
Organic Body Polish
My favorite item? of course the Body Polish. It didn’t leave me too oily or greasy, yet left my skin so silky smooth! I actually used it, then applied just a tad more of the Body Oil over it and went to watch movies the first day I had it! I was as smooth as a babies bum for the longest time! I have been using the Shea Butter on my feet since it has the awesome warming effect. It is slight, but it helps take the chill out before I layer them up with socks!
Trillium truly specializes in organic bath products for Mom & Baby.
Their OGmama’s line includes:
Organic Belly Polish which helps to nurture and aid stretching skin.
Organic Moisture Oil, light and fast absorbing, healing for all skin types.
Organic Gentle Soap, just a simple, cleansing soap gel that cleans with out stripping.
Organic Belly Butter which is perfect for all areas of expanding skin, plus knees, elbows, cuticles and anywhere else you might need it!
Trillium carries two organic bath lines for babies. OGbaby’s Really Fragrance Free and OGbaby’s Breathe Free Tea Tree.
Breathe Free Tea Tree
I was able to try out the OGbaby BFTT is it ever so scented with just the right amount of Tea Tree. Enough to enjoy it and breathe deeply, but not so much to overpower the littlest of noses. The OGbaby’s BFTT carries an Organic Gentle Soap and an Organic Chest Rub.
OGbaby Really Fragrance Free Barrier Balm
The OGbaby RFF line does contain a very slight amount of essential oils, but no fragrance. NONE.
The OGbaby line includes:
Organic Gentle Soap which doubles as a baby shampoo.
Organic Moisture Oil with chamomile, calendula and lavender.
And Organic Barrier Balm, a zinc free, castor oil formulation to prevent diaper rash.
Trillium doesn’t even stop there. They have products for acne, eczema and skin care tips for anyone that needs a little steering in the right direction!
And Trillium would like to give one of you a chance to try their line out! They are offering one Prissy Green reader:
OGbaby Really Fragrance Free
1 3oz Barrier Balm
1 8oz Gentle Soap
1 4oz Moisture Oil
16oz OGmama Belly Polish
Total retail value being $56.92

For cosmetic purposes, glycerin can either be produced from propylene alcohol or
derived from animal or vegetable oils. Trillium uses exclusively vegetable derived glycerin, also referred to as glycerol.
It is a sweet, syrupy alcohol that has been used in cosmetics for hundreds of years as a solvent, plasticizer, emollient and
lubricant
They use PET packaging…Pet is the most stable resin, least likely to
contribute to the product contained inside…PET is also the most commonly recycle-able plastic.

I learned when they say they have fragrance free items they really mean it. There are no added fragrances, or irritating ingregients in their products so people with certain sensitivities and allergies can rest assured they will really be getting a safe product to use!

Who would have thought, they’re using coconut oil because it makes big bubbles! Interesting.
Organic SAPONIFIED COCONUT OIL (Potassium coconate) – Coconut oil results in large bubbles that work into a frothy lather even in the presence of cold or “hard” mineralized water; too much results in a harsh soap.
Awesome blog and thanks for the giveaway!….I would love love love to win this one!…. =]

If you are using a polish, you don’t have to use soap as well. The salt scrubs away any dirt or dead skin, and in addition salt is anti-bacterial while promoting new cell growth. It is a great chemical free cleanser, gentle enough for everyday use. If you want to use soap anyway, you should use it before the polish.

Aha! I knew I had seen them before. They were featured in Vegetarian Times and their “News” section proved that. Any natural product, TRULY natural, is A-OK by me. Our babies have so much transmitted to them in utero and via breastmilk, why keep slathering chemicals on them!?

The toxins list was pretty surprising. Among many other things I learned that talc (even cosmetic grade) has caused tumors in animals! Yikes! I’m keeping it away from my family from now on!!
The products from Trillium look fabulous. I have very sensitive skin and would love to try their body butters and polish! Their perfumes look lovely too : )

I had no idea that petroleum and mineral oil can causes build-up of toxins and promotes acne and other skin disorders. Seeing that list of “Ingredients avoided” is kind of scary, since i see all those items on all the rest of my cosmetics and hair/skin care… and it’s especially scary that our skin absorbs all those chemicals! eek.

Well, I learned that one should not eat pink grapefruit while taking certain medications — I had no idea about that, and I am going to go check on which ones to be sure my mom isn’t in any danger. But, you can apply pink grapefruit products to your skin while on those medications.

I learned that their nifty logo has a lot of meaning to it! It’s not just something randomly made up by a marketing company. It’s based on spirals from a temple to Brigid in Druidic Ireland. It is meant to
represent the three aspects of a woman’s life: Maiden, mother and crone.
