But when she makes a purchase from the Save Your World™ line of bath and body products she never has to wonder. For every Save Your Body™, Save Your Skin™, or Save Your Hair™ product she buys, an acre of Rainforest is, in fact, saved, preventing the need to make mental calculations about percentages of profits or choosing charities.

It's all explained on the Save Your World website, so Girlawhirl and other curious beauty addicts can really make the connection between their purchases and a conservation lease of 200,000 acres of Rainforest in Guyana. Along with leasing the land itself, Save Your World finances royalties paid to the Government, which would otherwise be paid by loggers cutting down that part of the forest, and it supports three local communities that live near the conservation area.

And while the opportunity to save the world might be motivation enough for Girlawhirl to purchase anything… she really does love these bath and beauty products. They're made with Yerba Maté – the first time she's seen body products that incorporate the vitamins and amino acids that Yerba Maté contains – and organic aloe vera, which means they leave her skin not just clean but moisturized. Essential oils add just a touch of fragrance so these soaps, shampoos, body washes and lotions aren't perfumey; they just smell good. Fair trade principles are used throughout, raw materials are all biodegradable and the packaging is recycled or recyclable. And everything is, of course, paraben free.

Girlawhirl finds Save Your World products in stores like Whole Foods and Vitamin Shop, and she can purchase them on line at saveyourworld.com.
