Good Looking Out

Nontoxic Beauty

Pretty is as pretty does. Especially when pretty does it like this:

Hairs to You
Popping Bio-Niu daily vitamins is a good start. Part of the new haircare line by Byu-ti, the caps contain minerals, amino acids, and herbs to make your locks long and strong (510 Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica; 310-587-2207).

Sniffing Around
It’s last call for alcohol. You won’t find any in CB I Hate Perfume. Oil or water are the bases for the new irritation-free, nonflammable scents like Wild Pansy,  Russian Caravan Tea, and At the Beach 1966.

Nailed It
Acetone makes you fuming mad. SpaRitual uses Italian red mandarin essential oil in its new nondrying, nourishing, vegan Fluent Conditioning Lacquer Remover (Fred Segal Beauty, 420 Broadway, Santa Monica; 310-451-5155).

Serenity Now
Get a side of clarity, harmony, energy, or serenity with your lipgloss. New DuWop Elixrstix are formulated with tonics for well-being — and they’re mighty tasty.

No Sweat
BYOBO? That stinks. But Trader Joe’s unscented deodorant doesn’t. Instead of icky parabens and aluminum for drying power, it has cotton fibers. Plus, it’s only $2.99. (For store locations, go to tradersjoes.com.)

Looking good, Louis. Feeling good, Billy Ray.
