Fragrances, considered “trade secrets,” aren’t required to disclose their constituent ingredients, so it’s refreshing to see companies like Sow Good voluntarily revealing every ingredient, while delivering NPA certified natural products that smell fantastic. The line includes shampoos and body washes for men and women, plus these rollerball perfumes. The superconvenient fragrance sticks are tailor-made for travel and come in four distinct blends, each made exclusively from plant-based oils. My fragrance pick du jour: Generosity, featuring cedarwood and clove oils.
Dolphin Organics impressed us with the debut of its baby and kids body and hair care products at NPA Marketplace last year. Now, after a year in business, it introduced a line catering to a different age group: tween and teenage girls. The branding specifically targets girls of this age, or “green divas,” who are starting to develop preferences for beauty products and brand loyalty (and in many cases, an affinity for naturals). These products will boast the NPA Natural Seal, as opposed to Dolphin Organics’ NSF Organic certification. But the common thread between the two lines will be the unique labeling system that clearly breaks down whether the ingredient is naturally derived, organic, or synthetic—an effort that may even be more relevant than a certification.
Launching a line of cough drops may not seem like the obvious next step for a top natural beauty brand—but when you’re known for beeswax-based beauty products, tapping the hive for additions to your line makes a lot of sense. These soothing throat drops are made with a combination of 35 percent pure honey and Menthol. What they don’t contain: artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives. We are loving plain old honey or honey and lemon, and for something unique, definitely try the honey and pomegranate.
These made-to-order soy candles come in luscious natural scents like Berries & Cream, Minty Fresh, and Chocolate Bliss, which get their fragrances from essential oil blends. Free from phthalates and lead, both of which are common in conventional candles, they’re the perfect complement to Naturally Me’s other handmade natural body and pet care products.
A simple, natural remedy for everything from diaper rash to tangled hair and dry skin, this nourishing, multi-purpose formula contains a handful of ingredients: shea butter, olive oil, coconut oil, lanolin, beeswax, cocoa butter, Vitamin E, and gluten-free colloidal oatmeal. Even better, the company’s owner CJ caters to every type of natural shopper with variations on this original formula, including a more therapeutic unscented “BUTTer PLUS formula” that incorporates sesame and neem oils, as well as a vegan option that contains only shea butter, cocoa butter, and sesame oil.

Simple ingredients, multi-purpose formulas, and new product types (cough drops, anyone?), defined the offerings from natural beauty brands at NPA MarketPlace in Las Vegas.
