Oh, you know those Roots kids — busy as little beavers! After conquering cute sweats, stylish workout wear, classic leather jackets and an ever-expanding range of delicious bags, the busy Canadians have decided it's not enough to cover your body, they have to beautify it too.
Enter Rootsskin, the company's new line of handmade, natural skin-care and hair products. The collection — with eco-friendly natural ingredients like pure olive oil, cocoa butter, beeswax and virgin coconut oil — is created by "cold process," which in laywoman's terms means the journey from raw material to finished product uses the least amount of heat possible and no harsh chemicals, helping to maintain all that natural goodness.
With its simple, chic packaging, Rootsskin has offerings for men, women and a special collection for excessive dry skin conditions (thanks cold weather!). And of course it's not tested on animals, has no synthetic fragrances, parabens, sulfates or petrochemicals. Good enough to eat. 1-888.ROOTSSKIN. www.roots.ca.
