Bamboo: Not Just for Pandas

Written by Corinne

With Earth Day fast approaching, we wanted to put a special focus on natural eco-friendly beauty products, particularly bamboo. Let me tell you, it’s not just for pandas anymore! You can find ways to put bamboo in your life – from your bronzer to your laptop (seriously!).

Physicians Formula has recently created an entire Bamboo Wear line due to Bamboo’s  natural sustainability, beauty, and durability. Their Bamboo Wear Compact ($6.95) comes complete with a mirror and brush inside. This isn’t any ordinary compact! It is made from 100% sustainable bamboo, and is designed to be reusable and refillable with either the Bamboo Silk Powder ($9.95) or Bamboo Bronzer ($9.95). Both the Bamboo Silk Powder and Bamboo Bronzer are highly sustainable, nutrient-rich and illuminating! They are the key essentials to giving your face a perfect air-brushed finish.

To apply these Bamboo powders, use the Bamboo Wear Bambuki Brush ($9.95)! This brush is made with a full head of soft natural hair for maximum powder pick up and effortless blending.

Bamboo can be used to cleanse that bod of yours when you use Happiology by ILLUME’s Bamboo & Agave Body Wash ($18). This body wash is created from naturally derived, vegetable-based cleansers and certified organic fruit and flower extracts. The energizing scent is a result of the mixture of blue bamboo, agave leaves, fig and lotus flower combined with Mexican lime. You’ll be feeling both fresh and eco-friendly in no time!

Can’t get enough of the scent of ILLUME’s Bamboo & Agave Body Wash? With ILLUME’s Bamboo & Agave Candle ($20) you can have the scent fill your entire house! These candles are crafted from Illume’s exclusive 100% natural soy and beeswax blend.

So Bamboo gives you everything you need to feel beautiful, but does it do anything to make you feel smart? Well, when you’re doing work on an ASUS ecobook laptop you sure will! This laptop is an ultra thin and light notebook made with eco-friendly material on the LCD cover and palm rest. The touch pad also has bamboo fiber patterns on it and actually feels like a bamboo surface!

Safe to say Bamboo is making its way into everything! At this rate I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with a Bamboo version of Club Vibe..
