At the start of the pandemic we all needed more hand soap then ever before. Luckily The O Zone has got us covered! We picked up a large Mason jar of liquid Castile soap (can you tell I love simple soap?). A small squirt bottle in the bathroom has been protecting our household relentlessly for the last year. It is soft and soapy and doesn't dry out your hands despite the constant washing. Personally I prefer the no fragrance aspect as well, though I know Amelia also stocks some foaming fragranced hand soap options as well. Our 24 oz mason jar has yet to be refilled since maybe April 2020, and I promise we wash our hands alot…
Also in the bathroom is Amelia's toothpaste recipe. I have the orange flavored paste and I love it! I am actually quite opposed to mint as it makes my mouth sting - so I was happy there was an alternative flavor to choose from. I simply dip my bamboo toothbrush into the paste jar and brush away. It foams up, tastes great, and I feel super clean and natural after. Sometimes I will add a little activated charcoal to my brush to help whiten my teeth. Overall it is sensitive for the gums, coffee stain fighting, and appropriately tasty.
I also have been using the refillable shampoo and conditioner at the shop for the last few months. While I have tried the shampoo bars I simply struggle either in getting the foam where I want it or keep the bar from melting in the shower… So I have taken to refillable liquids instead. I like the shampoo it foams well and gets the paint and plaster out of my hair post a day at the studio. The conditioner is hydrating, my hair is always soft afterwards. I find I refill maybe every two months or so.
Finally, I just got some dry shampoo from The O Zone shop. I personally adore the part of the shop where you can mix your own products. It feels like witchcraft. The arrow root powder and baking soda mix Amelia's put together for me is the most revolutionary product in my drawer! Simply pinch some onto your roots, brush it out, and BOOM clean, soft, untangled hair, no grease or grime for a solid 6 hours (more if you don’t touch your hair of course). My mix is a light rose color which is great for my light hair, but if you have darker hair you can add cocoa powder till it matches your desired color.
