Online retailer Best in Beauty (which specializes in non-toxic and hypoallergenic products) sent a highly publicized gift basket to Malia Obama for her upcoming birthday (which falls on Independence Day -- how patriotic!).

The teen's gift included products from a variety of Best in Beauty retailers:

Pristine Beauty™ Vanity Tray - Includes Hooray for Brallywood Butta®, Take A Whiff!® deodorant and No Scary Hairy™ $85.00

Occomeia Organic Foaming Cleanser $25.00

Solay Wellness' Persian Rock Salt Lamp $65.00

Purifying Lavender Body Bar Soap from Solay Wellness $6.95

Dropwise Essentials' Luscious Lime and Orange Dream Organic Aromatherapy Lip Balm $6.50 each ($13.00) Dropwise Essentials' Refresh and Inspiration Gentle Cleansing Body Wash $9.50 each ($19.00)

Dropwise Essentials' Nourishing Hand & Body Lotion $12.50 each ($25.00)

Dropwise Aromatic Mister Room & Body Spray $12.50 each ($25.00)

Ecco Bella Good For You Gloss (Color: Peace) $15.95

For $354.20, the website will ship all of the products and more to you direct from each retailer--basket not included. Though the White House frowns upon companies using the first family's name to get press, I happen to think Malia might enjoy a basket full of beauty goodies.

Now, whether the Secret Service will let an unsolicited package anywhere near the first daughter is another question.

I started using the Made from Earth Vitamin Enhanced MOISTURZIER when Made from Earth first came on the market years ago. There are two specific reasons why I continue to use it.

I am sensitive to cosmetic product smells and perfumes - I can only use chemical and fragrence free - it certainly does not make my eyes water - and its ability to be absorbed by the skin without leaving a residue, or greasy feeling. Some skin products have left my face dried out even though labeled as "moisturizers". The Made from Earth Moisturizer has this wonderful 'cool' feeling to it.

A $70.00 jar lasts 6 months - do the math. Some over the counter skin products cost over $30.00 and Made from Earth products on the whole, are fiscally sound purchases for those looking for a bargain.
