Treat your Feet
Oka b. introduced a bunch of colorful styles this season, including Erin, shown here in Berry. A purple leather flower adds pizzazz to these sandals that have an ergonomic foot-bed enhanced with massage beads. They’re also antimicrobial, odor resistant, and recyclable. You can send your well-loved shoes to the corporate headquarters where they’ll be ground and mixed with virgin material to create new product. $30, shoesthatloveyou.com
Tastes Like Summer
This delicious naturally flavored Cherry Lemonade lip balm from Love & Toast is made with organic oils of olive, jojoba, and hemp seed and leaves lips smooth. We love the whimsical illustrations and clever packaging, as well as the fact that this company donates to Girls Inc. $9, loveandtoast.com
Lavender Shampoo
Formulated to nourish your hair and scalp, this gentle shampoo and conditioner from Conceived by Nature is full of certified organic extracts, including calendula, lavender, olive leaf, and honeysuckle. We loved the dose of aromatherapy we got when we washed our hair with this. It left our hair feeling silkier and smoother than usual. $9.99, conceivedbynature.com
Pretty Precision
Crafted with perfectly aligned hand-filed tips to grab every hair every time with smooth precision for expert brow grooming, these Design on the Vine floral mini slant tweezers from Tweezerman feature pretty ornamentations in three enamel finishes: black, pink, and white. Bonus: They come with a free sharpening guarantee. $15, sephora.com
A Rainbow of Colors
Design aficionados might be doing a double take when they read that their beloved Kartell, an Italian furniture company specializing in ultra-chic plastic designs by the likes of Phlippe Starck, has stepped out of the interiors world and collaborated with fashion company Moschino on a shoe. It’s a feminine flat—complete with a bow, called BowWow, that’s made from a 100 percent recyclable thermoplastic technopolymer available in a rainbow of colors. $119, available at Kartell in New York City, (212) 966-6665 —R.S.
Stay in Line
Add a pop of playful color to your eyes with Natural Liquid Eyeliner from No-Miss. Aloe and vitamin E and herbal extracts make this a gentle and healthy alternative. We’re partial to the purple. $15, no-miss.com
Easy At-Home Wax
It’s swimsuit season, and those of you who like to keep things neat and tidy should try this natural mess-free way to wax. Parissa’s Wax Strips come in three sizes for underarm, bikini, and face. The sensitive formula is just that. Each strip contains pre-applied wax (that you warm by rubbing between your palms) for fast results. Comes with easy instructions, plus azulene oil to clean excess wax and keep skin smooth. $11.99, parissa.com
A Summer Staple
Feminine, flattering, and made from organic cotton, the Chaka dress, shown here in “Infinity,” is sure to become a summer staple for work or play. A crossover bodice and ruched waistband are details we admire. $76, hornytoad.com
