FOR MEN

Organic and biodynamic ingredients are incorporated into Jurlique's men's line. Although it does contain grapefruit seed extract (GSE), not always as natural as claimed (studies have found some samples of GSE contaminated with hormone-disrupting chemicals), our research editor liked the subtle scent of the Herbal After Shave ($36; jurlique.com, 800-854-1110). His favorite beard lather, however, remains Tom's of Maine Natural Conditioning Shave Cream in Refreshing Mint ($3.19; www.drugstore.com). Also try Aubrey Organics' expanded Men's Stock line, including North Woods After Shave ($9.50; www.aubreyorganics. com, 800-282-7394).

SCENTS

If winter doldrums have you down and landlocked, Aveda's Caribbean Therapy Flower Water body mist ($24) will make everything irie, and if you're traveling, take along their organic cotton Eco-TouchUp travel bag ($12; www.aveda.com, 800-644-4831). And while you may need to be one to afford these, Rich Hippie's perfumes, with catchy names like "Psychedelic" and "Purple Haze," blend organic essential oils and wine alcohol made from grapes (from $85/1/2 oz.; www.rich-hippie.com).
