The are based and created out of Spring Park, Minnesota. (I love Minnesota!) Each product seems to have Olive Leaf Leaf Extract in it, and their label has a photo of the Olive tree, stating “The Tree of Life.”

Simply Organics Mission is to to share with their clients new ways to incorporate healthier choices into their everyday lives. They are consistently striving to research and develop the safest, highest quality products available while introducing unparalleled wellness information to the professional salon and spa community. All of their products are certifies organic.

Simply Organics main focus is hair care, and after sampling thier Everyday Hair & Scalp Wash and Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse I know why!

It is gentle, I can use it all the way down to my ends (which for black and blue reasons is important right now). It is a remarkable shampoo for every other day use, and my hair is illustrious and shiny even on that second day! Truth be told, it is even shiny (not from oil) on the third day before I hope in the shower. I can tell it has been giving some life and strength back to my hair, plus it gives added protection even before applying conditioner. It smells delicious, like a a vanilla wafer dipped in lemon pie. Plus being certified organic isn’t too shabby either right?

So I have been following that up with a dose of their Everyday Hair & Scalp Rinse. I think it is far to often that women don’t nourish their scalps. I apply a natural oil to my scalp at least one night a week, and let it soak in over night, and when i condition, I apply a little to my roots too, close the cuticle baby! The conditioner is responsible for replacing any essential oils that might be lost in washing your hair. So important. Plus, any moisture that might be lost on your scalp, after all the scalp is skin, and you always moisturize your skin right? It also aides in protecting and strengthening. I can feel it working, love the avocado oil in it. Normally if I were to pick out my own conditioner, I always go for the heavy hitters. But this was actually spot on for my hair right now. There is so much added weight to my ends with the crappy color, that my hair is weighed down. This conditioner is effective, but yet light weight, plus it smells like oranges.

A few days ago I told you that I had stopped using body washes altogether, for a couple of reasons, one was the waste, I don’t need an extra bottle being thrown in the recycling bin, but two, I love handmade bar soap! I would take a picture of how many I am using, or rather how many I have opened right now, but it is embarrassing! After using Simply Organics Everyday Moisurizing Body Wash those bar soaps are getting a new partner in the rotation game! Great “latherablity” (nice word) and leaves my skin nice and balanced. A little pricey for my pocket book at $34 for 16.5 oz. It did win a 2009 Natural Solutions, Beauty with a Conscience Award though, so that tells you how good it is! They do have Shea Bar soap, but I haven’t gotten a chance to try it out.

The Everyday Moisturizing Body Lotion. I use a lot of oils at night to keep my dry skin hydrated, but during the day, I want something less greasy! This is deep moisture, with out the heaviness and greasiness. Made with olive oil, shea butter and safflower oil it is great that they were able to keep it that way!

I have TWO prizes to giveaway. Each will receive an Amenity Gift Set which is a great way to try all the products listed above plus the Lavender bar soap, you will receive:
