On a recent trip to Maui I spent lots of time exploring my girlfriend's bathrooms for the granola-chic equivalent of illicit prescription drugs: cool, all-natural beauty products. What I found again and again in these cutting-edge eco-lovelies' cabinets was a brand called Sensuous Beauty ––cheesy name, soothing products. They've got lotions, massage oils, masks, and other potions: The ingredients are so minimal as to be edible, and the substances are deliciously divine.
In the sampler pack I hunted down in the windsurfer town of Paia, there's an especially great Rosewater and Lavender spritzer that my friend Renée Loux, vegan chef goddess to the stars, loves. Made of rosewater, distilled water, and lavender oil, it kept me and my skin hydrated and peaceful the entire 10-hour flight back to New York. You too can indulge: Pleasureheals.net
