BANG FOR THE BITE
If 10,000 Biters opt for a 4-ounce bottle of eco-lotion instead of the usual synthetic variety, we'll avert the weight of 333 infants in iffy ingredients.
COCKTAIL FACT
Tyra Banks named Vaseline as her number one beauty product - she uses it head to toe.

The Bite
No can do, but at least you can get the creases outta your birthday suit with eco-body lotions. Ideal Bite turns three today, and we're getting baby-booty beautiful with our fave skin smoothers.The Benefits
- Safe enough for an infant. The FDA has tested only 11% of the more than 10,000 ingredients used in beauty products for safety.
- Petroleum-free posteriors. Petrolatum's an oil-derived ingredient found in many moisturizers.
- It's eco-friendlier, baby. Duh: Opting for products made from organic materials in recycled packaging reduces pollution and saves resources.
Personally Speaking
Toshio used to use petrochem-based Vaseline as face lotion. Seriously. We've since hooked him up with guy-friendly Max Green's Naked Rescue Cream. His pores would like to thank the Biter Team.Wanna Try?
- Max Green Naked Rescue Cream - creamy, ultramoisturizing, fragrance-free lotion ($20/4 ounces).
- TerraNova Miracle Cream - rich jojoba and shea butter cream with 80% certified-organic ingredients ($23/5.25 ounces).
- Blooming Lotus Groundation Luminous Lotion - sandalwood-scented, with smoky quartz essences, said to have a grounding effect on the senses ($18/8 ounces).
- Beautiful Soap & Co. Grapefruit Lotion - enriched with vitamin E and aloe vera, and has an energizing citrus scent ($10).
- Skin Deep - find out what those long words in the ingredient lists of your fave products actually mean.

Tyra Is My Homegirl
For a long time, I thought I was the only one who ever used Vaseline on his face. Oh my god, was I wrong.
(For the record, I haven't used Vaseline in years - now it's Alba Mineral Facial Sunscreen, with the John Masters stuff on really dry days.)

Biter Comments...
I can't believe that no Lush (http://www.lush.com/) products made it into this tip! I ADORE their products, and they even have body moisturizers that come in solid bars, so there is no packaging at all! You can't get much greener than that!
I'm floored that there are people still using Vaseline as a moisturizer. Mineral oil + petrolatum = not good. Considering there are so many amazing alternatives I don't get it. Old habits die hard?! Trawl the isles of Whole Foods or get online and check out somewhere like www.futurenatural.com and you'll find options in abundance! Maybe someone should send the fabulous Miss T the natural version...
Thanks for the suggestion
