IIN Staff Picks: Natural Products

This post is not sponsored. These product selections were made by IIN staff members who are fans of the product(s), and IIN is not being paid to feature any product(s).

One of the many incredible perks of working at IIN is being part of a community that shares a passion for all things health and wellness and a curiosity to learn from each other’s diverse perspectives. Just as our curriculum emphasizes the concept of bio-individuality – the idea that your approach to optimal well-being is unique and constantly changing – our workplace celebrates individual differences and preferences.

As Health Coaches and members of the IIN team, students, clients, friends, loved ones, and those considering health coaching often ask us for opinions on everything from the latest research on red meat to the best self-care practices. So we thought we’d feature different wellness items and trends we’re loving!

With that, we’re kicking off this monthly series with eight of our go-to natural products, including natural beauty products and natural cleaning products:

1. Cocokind’s Turmeric Spot Treatment and Sunrei Reishi Gold Highlighter

 “I’m super picky about what goes on my skin. I love Cocokind because they use safe, natural ingredients that keep my skin looking fresh. While I’m ready for fall, I’m not ready to give up my summer glow, and this highlighter makes me look like I just came off the beach!” – Lindsay King

“They are amazing for bringing snacks hiking or traveling, can double as freezer bags or food storage in the fridge, and are easy to clean! I like to bring one with me everywhere in case I’m purchasing a snack to go and can use my stasher bag rather than plastic!” – Deanna Kahn

 3. Green Virgin Mineral Salts Deodorant

“Honestly, every day I look forward to the ritual of applying Face Gold to my face before bed. I love how soft my skin now looks and how nourished I feel. It's an entire experience of floral scents and smooth textures – and there's a positive energy infused in all their products. AND it's so awesome that Cara Lista is an IIN grad!” – Jon Fischer
