Robyn Bradley and her husband, Tyler Moore, built their La Connor business, Pepperjack Home (106 First St., Suite D; 425.330.0204;a href=”http://www.pepperjackhome.com” target=”_blank” pepperjackhome.com/a), on eco-sensitivity. Their body care collection includes soaps made with a local microbrew (good for a nice, foamy lather) and facial masks made with clay and charcoal.

The GMO- and additive-free vegan product line uses premium ingredients (rosehip seed oil, organic pomegranate) to perk up tired and dehydrated skin. // With a degree in health psychology from Bastyr University, Fremont’s Julia Wills, along with husband Alexander Kummerow, is the creative force behind Herbivore Botanicals (available at Glasswing, 1525 Melrose Ave.; a href=”http://www.glasswingshop.com” target=”_blank”glasswingshop.com/a; and online at a href=”http://www.herbivorebotanicals.com” target=”_blank”herbivorebotanicals.com/a). These handcrafted, vegan products include the bracing cypress bath soak ($28), inspired by the hinoki cypress trees used in traditional Japanese baths. Stock up and feel invigorated for the year ahead.nbsp;/p
