Welcome Oshuna Pure Skin Care from WiseWays Herbals of Massachusetts. Each sample kit (by skin type) contains products made with “vital, healing, organic herbs, essential aromatherapy oils, and pure ingredients.” Also from the Commonwealth is Get Real Mint Soap with Bite, whose box features some rather racy language… check it out soon, lest this product go the way of the firefighters’ calendar!

Grocery... Ahh, Soups!

A line of soups from Pacific Natural Foods that just hit our shelves has already become popular. Offered in Cashew Ginger Carrot, Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato and Organic Creamy Butternut Squash, they’re gluten free and all natural. Certain Lakewood juice varieties carried elsewhere are now in our store. These tasty pomegranate and açai blends offer many health benefits.

Kashi adds GoLean Crunch to its cereal line-up, while the GoLean Bar (“roll,” actually) returns to our shelves, boasting an “optimized glycemic response.” The makers of Lärabar present the Mäya Pure Organic Chocolate Food Bar, in a variety of flavors. It’s Fair Trade Certified and is free of dairy, soy, gluten and added sugars. Kind now offers a banana and oatbran fruit and nut bar, which feels chewier than the others in that line. Papadini Hi-Protein Pure Lentil Bean Pasta now comes in spiral-shaped rotini, and Rudi’s Organic Bakery now offers Whole Grain Wheat Organic English Muffins.
