Top beauty product stores and their must haves
Sensatia Botanicals
Our must have: Cina-mint Natural Toothpaste
This fantastic toothpaste essentially does what every toothpaste on the market does – it cleans teeth and promotes healthy gums. But…the key ingredient of Cinna-mint is calcium glycerophosphate which provides a mineral-rich base that encourages stronger, cavity-free teeth. The cinnamon oil on the other hand helps fight bacteria and acts as a mild numbing agent for sensitive teeth. Cinna-mint Natural Toothpaste also features Tea Tree oil which is known to have antibacterial properties.

Bali Balance
Our must have: Lemmongrass Body Lotion
Bali Balance products are available throughout Bali. In Canggu for example, their products can be found just about anywhere! Bali Balance promotes ‘no animal testing’, ‘no chemicals’ and ‘no palm oil’. We love the brand’s great Lemongrass Body Lotion – it awakens and invigorates the senses while leaving your skin hydrated and soft with vitamin E. Lemongrass is known to have antioxidants that help your body fight off free radicals that damage cells.
