Vegan, clean ingredients, and sustainable packaging all in one skincare line can be a tall order. I was ecstatic when I found a product that checked all of the boxes. A dear frient introduced me to Youth To The People. YTTP. Their motto is Skincare for ALL and they stay true to that, which is apparent on their website. This company does a fantastic job in keeping their ingredients safe for the planet, as they are all biodegradable and plant-based. Their products are also vegan and cruelty-free. I appreciate their extended efforts to minimize plastic use by packagining in glass bottles. They offer refill size bottles for several products to keep the waste even less. The packaging is sourced locally in the States from the company Neenah. The Neenah papers used have been Green-e certified, meaning the paper is manufactured with 100% renewable green electricity. The post consumer recycled paper are free from chlorine and come from sustainable raw materials.
Raising Vegan Tip- Quit face cleansing and makeup remover wipes for good! Have an abundance of washable nursing pads you no longer need? These make for excellent makeup remover or face cleansing pads. The softness feels great on the skin. After use, throw them into the washer in a mesh bag to wash with your towels. Dry the same way, and now you have reuseable face wipes.
My MUST-HAVE is their Superfood Cleanser. I use this cleanser with my Clarisonic and it lathers so nicely. The freshness it unmatched by all of the other products I have tried in the past. This cleanser is a mood changer! If I am feeling exhausted, I will wash my face with this Superfood and it brings me back to life. Currently priced at $36 for 8 oz (237 ml) bottle. This product is offered in a refill size $64 for 16 oz (473 ml) bottle.
Next I apply the Kombucha + 11% AHA Exfoliation Power toner to my T-zone and trouble areas. This toner has done wonders to balance my skin. I tend to have both dry and oily patches, but the toner has been amazing to even it out. The 4 oz bottle typically lasts me about 6 months. Currently, the 4 oz, (118ml) bottle is $38.
Right now, with the summer heat and humidity where we live, I use the Superfood Air-whip Moisture Cream. It has a lightness that is perfect for hot, sweaty days and it soaks into my skin beautifully. A the time of posting this the 2 oz. (59ml) jar is priced at $48. I use it once to twice a day and it lasts me typically 2 to 3 months. The glass jar I then repurpose for storing small craft materials for the kids or small screws/bolts etc. The lid is plastic but the glass could easily be recycled.
In the winter months, when it is dry and cool, I switch to the Adaptogen Deep Moisture Cream. It is heavier and perfect for night use, but if you have low humidity in your area, this may be needed for day use as well. This is currently priced at $58 for 2 oz. (59 ml) jar.
The Superclay Purify + Clear Mask is a part of my self-care routine. Combine this mask with a bubble bath, book, and a glass of wine. Ah, the relaxation! This mask feels wonderfully refreshing and leaves my skin feeling soft and renewed. Priced at $36 for 2 oz. (59ml) jar.

Sun protection! Sunscreen, rash guards, UV protective hats, umbrellas, beach tents- these items are musts for a beach trip. No matter how long the sun exposure, everyone should be wearing sunscreen. Be sure to ask your doctor at what age they recommend babies start wearing sunscreen. In regards to UV protective hats- always read the labels. Surprisingly, not all are intended for UV protection. The label should clearly state UV protection or SPF 50+. Consider buying brightly colored rash guards, bathing suits, or UV protective hats for the Littles. This way you can easily spot them on the beach or in the water.
Great Beach Mat that allows sand to fall through it when packing. We also like beach mats since the surface of this mat can be rough for crawlers.
UV protective hats are a must!
Great toys to keep Littles occupied.
A tub at the beach? Yes! Fill it up with ocean water and let the Littles splash and play. Also keeps the Littles cool. Always supervise!
Beach wagon! Any variety with all-terrain wheels will work great for hauling gear or Littles!
