Celebrating Ten Years of the Best Eco-Friendly Products from Live Clean

July 3, 2017 by Kathryn 145 Comments

While Canada is gearing up to celebrate its 150th birthday, one of my favourite Canadian companies, Live Clean, is celebrating a birthday of its own! 2017 marks ten years since Live Clean debuted its first six eco-friendly shampoos and conditioners to Canadians and while the product line has expanded, the company’s values have stayed the same for the past decade. Today, the company continues to take pride in providing products that are cruelty-free, free of harmful chemicals and made of locally-sourced, plant-based ingredients.

Over the last few years, I’ve had the chance to try dozens of the products in the Live Clean collection for babies, children, men and women! And it goes without saying that I’ve got a few fast favourites after all my trials and testing. So, in honour of Live Clean’s 10th birthday, I’m sharing my thoughts on the top ten must-try Live Clean products!

Treat Skin to Gentle Nourishment with the Live Clean Fresh Face Collection-Giveaway

October 28, 2016 by Kathryn 137 Comments

The more my skin starts to mature, the more I need gentle, yet effective cleansing and moisturizing to keep it looking its best. Whether I’m on the go or lounging at home, taking care of my face is always a priority. That’s why I’m so happy that I discovered the Live Clean Fresh Face collection some time ago. The products are gentle, contain organic botanicals and are so effective for revealing skin’s radiance. In fact, the only skincare products I took on my recent two-week trip to Ireland were the ones in the Live Clean Fresh Face travel collection.

So, what makes this skincare line so great? For one thing, it provides thorough cleansing, nourishing moisture and protection against the elements, all without leaving skin feeling greasy or weighed down. Since I get hormonal breakouts, a good lightweight cleanser is a must for me and the Live Clean Fresh Face Foaming Cleanser is ideal. I love the way the foam provides a deep clean without drying out my skin.

October 22, 2015 by Kathryn 177 Comments

It’s no secret that I love Live Clean products. From haircare to skincare and baby products to body oils, the company is always innovating to provide the best and most effective earth-friendly products for the whole family. But with so many great new collections, it can be easy to forget about the tried-and-true Live Clean products that have been favourites with families for years.

Fortunately, Live Clean recently gave me the chance to rediscover an assortment of its “greatest hits” for the whole family, and I couldn’t have been happier about it. Baby lotion, shampoo, gentle skincare and more reminded me exactly why Live Clean is a staple brand in my household. Here are Live Clean’s top product picks:

Live Clean Shea Cocoa Butter Baby Lotion isn’t just for baby! Yes, it’s the richest, most deeply hydrating lotion for baby yet – but it’s also perfect for you when your skin needs more moisture. Certified Organic Quinoa and Vanilla work to lock in that new-found moisture and protect baby’s skin (AND YOURS!) from the elements. [Read more…]

Nourish Your Skin Gently with the New Live Clean Fresh Face Collection-Giveaway

October 16, 2014 by Kathryn 211 Comments

It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of the naturally sourced skin, hair and body care products from Live Clean. And part of the reason I love the brand so much is that it’s always coming up with new innovations. The recently launched Live Clean Fresh Face collection is a perfect example and I received three of the new products to test out for myself recently.

Skincare is something I’ve struggled with for years. On the one hand, being in my thirties means that I need products that moisturize and protect my face. On the other hand, hormonal acne breakouts mean that I still need products that are gentle on my face and won’t clog pores. The new Live Clean Fresh Face products combine the best of both worlds with their hypoallergenic formula made with plant-based ingredients.
