Banded Scrunchie 3-Pack ($10) These scrunchies are the best way to keep your hair off your face, definitely in-style for the season!
I got scrunchies in 3 different colors: white, yellow, and pink! A fun throwback!
Hanalei Island Aloe Gel ($35) Keeping the skin moisturized during the hot days is really important, and it’s nice to get this nice container of cooling gel. It helps calm the skin and reduce redness with the help of aloe vera, papaya extract, and Hawaiian Noni.
The formula is lightweight, and can even work under makeup!
To use, massage the gel onto the face and body. Apply throughout the day or as much as needed to keep the skin hydrated and looking healthy! The only downside? Propylene Glycol is in the ingredients. Here’s what CAUSEBOX had to say:
We would like to thank you as well for your valuable feedback about the Hanalei Island Aloe Gel. When it comes to beauty products, we choose to work with partners whom rely on natural ingredients, sustainable methods and packaging, and are cruelty-free! Hanalei’s products are not only cruelty-free, paraben-free, phtalate-free, and sulfate-free, but they also showcase local Hawaiian inspired botanicals in a desire to bring the experience of Hawaiian beauty to people everywhere through simple and restorative skin care products. Hanalei is also a proud partner of the Akamai Foundation, a non-profit foundation that focuses on providing minority women, native Hawaiians, and other minorities with the training, mentoring, networking, and training necessary for future employment opportunities. I am proud to report that the Akamai foundation has trained more than 750 students from 22 schools across 6 of the 7 main Hawaiian islands since 2009!
When considering our partnership with Hanalei, we also had questions regarding some of the ingredients included in their products. When we sat down together, here is what they said:
Why are some contentious ingredients included in your products?
We are a data and research driven company and make ingredient selections based on the scientific research to provide consumers with safe and high-quality products. When considering ingredient inclusion, we refer to publicly available and factual scientific research, articles from subject matter experts (scientists and toxicologists), and product and ingredient experts to make informed decisions.We realize there are certain ingredients that have been discredited as the press have taken some of the research out of context. A lot of the studies referenced in these instances are based on extremely high doses or concentrations, with levels that are not used in cosmetics nor typical in everyday use.
It’s important to understand the nature of toxicology, and the adage that the “dose makes the poison”, meaning that the level of exposure matters more so than the actual ingredient, as even “safe” ingredients like salt or aloe whole leaf extract can prove to be harmful at high levels.
We are of course still always learning as we grow, but we appreciate when our members question us and hold us accountable — truly. I can assure you our Product Team worked very hard and spent countless hours carefully curating the items included in your Summer Box. As always, we consciously and intentionally chose each Summer product because each has a story and mission behind it that aligns well with what we believe in and helps to create a better world.
The magazine also provides more information about this product from Modern Aloha.
