Birch Box has launched a ‘Going Green’ limited edition box containing a kit of “no nasties” products – think all natural and/organic. Birch Box has used the term “ingredient conscious” which I love as the terms “green” and “clean” get murkier.
Anyway let’s talk a closer look at the contents of the kit. First impressions – well I’m impressed, it’s a good looking selection. Tres chic!
BIRCH BOX GOING GREEN LIMITED EDITION BOX
If you’re just starting on your green journey – this is a great selection of quality products to start with. Every single item is something I will use.
FACE PRODUCTS
- Absolution Cream Cleanser (full size): a 99% natural cream cleanser that rinses off and is designed to remove makeup and not strip skin
- Ho Karan The Morning Miracle Anti-Fatigue Eye Booster (full size): this eye treatment contains organic hemp oil designed to help escape the signs of tiredness, de-puff and hydrate the eye are. No idea of the long term effects but there was an immediate tightening the first time I used it.
- Laboté The Perfect Glove (full size): a bamboo fibre cloth to remove makeup and cleanse the skin with gentle exfoliation
NAIL PRODUCTS
- Manucurist Natural Nail Polish (full size): a ravishing blood red (would love a matching lipstick) nail polish formulated with up to 84% natural ingredients including potato, corn, wheat, bamboo and red algae to help protect the nails and is free of formaldehyde, camphor, toluene and DBP.

- Dr. Hauschka Lavender and Sandalwood Calming Body Wash (travel size): fresh floral of lavender with subtle woodiness of sandalwood with hydrating quince extract and vegetable oils to cleanse skin gently without stripping it
- Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Pure-Castile Bar Soap (travel size): I’m never without the liquid version of this Dr Bronner’s soap so a bar will be handy. Made with all natural ingredients and a nourishing blend of organic oils including coconut, olive oil and hemp.
- We Love The Planet Natural Deodorant Forever Fresh (full size): A cream deodorant made with all natural ingredients including coconut oil, beeswax, maize starch powder and bicarbonate of soda.
MAKEUP PRODUCT
- Avril Copper Bronze Eye Pencil (full size) : Avril are a great budget green beauty option. This pretty copper eyeliner is made with 100% natural ingredients and blends easily so works great as an eyeshadow too.
ZERO WASTE PRODUCTS
- Lamazuna Solid peppermint toothpaste (full size): my first toothpaste stick. This smells incredibly minty and I have to resist licking it. To use you run a wet toothbrush across it. I love this plastic-free lollipop wood packaging.
- Løv ‘Lov Is Green’ Organic Tea (travel size): A really unusual tea (more a tisane) blend that includes carrot and spinach! The ingredients for this tissane including pear, apple, spinach and carrot read sounds like a smoothie. I love my veggies so this is a win win.
ACCESSORIES
- Numéro 7 Wash Bag: and everything comes in this handy size botanical pouch made from certified organic cotton from the ethical fashion brand founded by Coline, the French eco-chic blogger that curated this Going Green Birch Box.
This Birch Going Green box is a great buy whether you’re just starting to make the swap to more natural products or you’re a longstanding Green Goddess. It’s a fabulous selection, that would suit all skin types and skin tones. It’s limited edition so l’d say run not walk if you want to nab one.
