It takes some searching and without having heard it through the grapevine (or in this case via Bart), you probably wouldn't have found it, but in the Negen Straatjes So there is a small world bazaar in Amsterdam green beauty products. A kind of mini-Skins, but everything is holistic, organic, natural, ethical, ecological or specialist. House of Balm is located one level behind, together with a bag boutique, next to the Acne and Rika stores. Go into the bag shop, go down the stairs and you will find a fine selection of beauty, body, hair and baby care products. All clean, green and healthy. In addition to the brands well-known in Dutch stores such as Naïve (baby care) and Yoni (toxic-free tampons) they carry many beautiful world brands. House of Balm scouts and imports these brands from Australia to America. While they are just as healthy, or sometimes even a bit healthier, these brands are just a bit sexier than the care products you buy. organic supermarket. Mermaid dry shampoo, Aphrodite Goddess beauty oil, Belle D'Amour day cream, just to name a few sexy things. The want-to-try factor is high, so be warned. Also for the limited shelf life of the shop, because they will be here until August 21, 2016. After that, they will continue online temporarily while they continue to look for a new home for the shop. So stop by quickly, because smelling and feeling the products you put on your skin or hair beforehand is very pleasant. House of Balm, Oude Spiegelstraat 4, Amsterdam or via the webshop
