Here are all the details and links for the products shown on air today on "Your Hour", on KCTU-TV.

     

v  Hair: Salon Grafix Healthy Hair Nutrition

·         www.healthyhairnutrition.com

This revolutionary new hair care line aims to steer avid hair-washers away from the harsh effects of sulfate-based shampoos. Rather than stripping your hair of the natural oils it needs to be healthy, the Conditioning Cleanser uses a non-lathering botanical formula to gently cleanse hair while providing it with the optimal amount of moisture. Add in the Intensive Hair Repair Masque for a weekly moisture boost when hair is extra stressed from the sun, salt water or chlorine and you have successfully replaced about five products from your typical hair care routine! Both products retail for $8.49 and can be purchased at Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS and Rite Aid as well as a large number of other mass merchants.

v  Mouth: Xlear Spry Mints and Gum

·         www.xlear.com

With the constant hustle and bustle of parenting, moms can forget the simplest of tasks, like eating right or even brushing your teeth three times a day. For those days, let Xlear give you a quick way to freshen your breath while also promoting good dental hygiene! Not only do these convenient breath-fresheners have fewer calories and less effect on blood sugar than mints or gum made with sucrose, but they also have the added benefit of inhibiting the creation of acid in the mouth. Popping a piece in your mouth after every meal or snack will provide maximum protection to your teeth from tooth decay, in addition to freshening your breath. Spry Mints and Gums are even safe for children to eat, so sharing won’t be an issue! These healthy morsels retail for between $8.95 and $9.75, and are available for purchase online at www.xlear.com or at Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe and other select retailers nationwide.

·         http://www.babyganics.com/Cover_Up_Baby_Sunscreen_Spray_50_SPF_598oz

With temperatures reaching record highs in 2011 and the ever-growing awareness of various skin cancers, every parent should be “in-the-know” on how to properly shield their child’s skin from the sun; and why lug around two bottles of sunscreen when you can safely share one? BabyGanics Cover Up Baby Face & Body Sunscreen Spray protects both your and your child’s skin from UV rays with a light, hypoallergenic, fragrance free formula that absorbs into their skin and dries quickly without leaving behind a greasy residue. BabyGanics’ convenient non-aerosol package with its mineral based and water resistant (up to 80 minutes) formula moisturizes as it protects, providing 50 times (SPF 50+) your natural sun protection against broad spectrum UVA/UVB damaging sun rays. BabyGanics’ Cover-Up Baby Face & Body Sunscreen Spray retails for $9.99 and can be purchased at Babies R Us, Bed Bath & Beyond, Buy Buy Baby and online at www.babyganics.com, amazon.com and diapers.com.

v  Hiccups: Hicural Hiccup Relief

·         http://hicural.com/

Hiccups can become really annoying, especially when they are repetitious and go on and on and on! Luckily, Hicural's Hiccup Relief tool can cease your discomfort within seconds! Its unique and innovative design permits water and air to flow while the person tenses their throat muscles as they bite down on the device. This causes the hiccups to stop. You can always keep it handy to ward off those evil hiccups whether at home or on the go since it comes in a crystal clear, germ-free plastic tube. It is available for purchase online at hicural.com and drugstore.com for $7.99.

v  Lips: BabyGanic’s “Cover-Up Kisses” SPF 20 Lip Balm

·         http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12293413

Let’s face it; your lips aren’t exactly in pristine condition. Over time, lips can easily crack and flake due to dehydration, aging and the environment. Typical chap sticks can only treat these issues temporarily and contain less than appealing ingredients. Instead of a quick fix, arm yourself with a balm that protects your pucker from the elements without those pesky parabens, phlathates and sulfates. BabyGanics’ “Cover-Up Kisses” SPF 20 Lip Balm even comes in orange cream and apple berry flavors, creating a tasty way to keep your kids and your own lips kissably soft. These .15 oz. sticks retail for $4.99 and are available for purchase in stores such as Babies ‘R Us, Buy Buy Baby and online at Amazon.com.
