Staff favorites: Our most beloved health products

From time to time, we get asked which products we use ourselves.

The answer is that we have tried and love ALL our products. But of course, we have our favorites that we keep coming back to again and again.

It's very hard to pick just a few since we have such a wide range, from trampolines, body care, and hair care to supplements and superfoods.

Now, some of us on the Glimja team have each made a top-3 list of the products we like the most right now.

Mikael

1. Green Juice Powder – I drink green every morning as soon as I wake up in water, plus an extra small shot before dinner. It gives me so much nutrition and energy!

2. Protein powder from Pureness – I use protein powder after training as a reward and for a festive mood. It’s part of my post-workout-wonder drink. I mix 0.5 dl protein powder, 0.5 dl chia seeds, and 0.5 dl hemp seeds with liquid. Let the chia seeds soak for about 30 minutes before blending.

3. Sedona Express Dehydrator – Runs hot at my place every week. I always want activated seeds and nuts on hand, and I also like to make raw burgers and other tasty things from fresh vegetables, herbs, and chia seeds.

1. Bruns Hair Mask – Wonderful hair mask that moisturizes my dry hair. I have long, thick, and dry hair, and this hair mask is a lifesaver. I use it when washing my hair as a conditioner, leaving it in for 1-10 minutes depending on how much time I have.

2. 100% Pure Fruit Pigmented Foundation Powder – So grateful for this powder; it provides just the right coverage for my taste and doesn’t clog my pores. I use it every day, year-round, as a base since I don’t like liquid foundations. The powder also contains sunscreen. A big favorite in my makeup bag.

3. Garden of Life’s Q10 – It feels like Q10 gives a solid boost to the mitochondria at the cellular level, and it’s a supplement I use daily. I sometimes switch brands to Närokällan or Holistic, but I must have my Q10. I take one capsule in the morning.

Daniella

1. Maryruth’s Kid’s Multivitamin gummies – My child eats these as if they were candy (I do sometimes too). It feels so good to give my child a daily supplement with pure ingredients.

2. 100% Pure Coffee Bean Eye Cream – This eye cream is a must every morning for tired eyes. In no time, I look more awake, and the skin around my eyes becomes firmer. Fantastic product!

3. Organic Tamari – Japanese Gluten-Free Soy Sauce – I can’t live without this now, umami explosion! It’s great on salads, in rice dishes, and as a marinade for, for example, tofu.

Sara T

1. Multimineral from Holistic – I don’t feel well taking B-complex or multivitamins; it’s simply some vitamin I get too much of. But I can’t do without a multimineral. I feel so much better physically and mentally when I take this every day in higher doses. My mood swings almost disappear immediately.
2. Loelle Argan Oil – The only thing I use on my face! I don’t use foundation, serum, or face wash. I wash my face with warm water in the evening and cold water in the morning. I finish with a generous amount of argan oil all over my face, and my skin feels better than ever.
3. Tea Tree & Neem Toothpaste – The best natural toothpaste I’ve found. It foams well, I get whiter teeth (how!?), and fresh breath that lasts as long as conventional toothpastes. It also tastes great and contains no fluoride.

1. Bellicon Trampoline. Can’t live without this. I bounce 5-10 minutes in the morning and between work sessions at the office. A truly wonderful invention!

2. Vitamin C from Vimergy. It’s easy to overlook how good vitamin C is. I usually take 2 capsules every day in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. I increase the dose if I feel low or under the weather.

3. Dulse – I use dulse in a lot of cooking. In soups, stews, and even smoothies. It gives a lovely umami flavor and can advantageously be used instead of salt.

Nicole

1. Pistachio Butter from Mother Earth is my latest favorite. I searched a long time for a pistachio butter that really tasted like pistachio and wasn’t mixed with a lot of other things. I actually love all the nuts from Mother Earth; they really taste fresh!
2. Vermont Soap dog shampoo. The best shampoo I’ve had for my dog. It doesn’t dry out, is easy to rinse out, and is concentrated so you really don’t need to use much. It smells minimally of essential oils, which also keep ticks away, which is a bonus!
3. 100% Pure Vitamin C Serum. I used it morning and evening under my day/night cream as a “treatment” for 2 months. The bottle lasted so long! I definitely see a difference in both fine lines and a more even tone in my face. It’s quite expensive, but the bottle is large. I was worried it would oxidize, as vitamin C often does, before I finished it. But no, it was so good that I used it all up right away! I will never stop buying this.

Ellinor

1. Ljung Hudvård deodorant Fjällsippa. Glad I’m finally trying this! It smells so good, keeps my underarms fresh all day with natural ingredients. The only downside, since it smells so good, is that I’m tempted to smell my underarms all day…
2. PuroBIO Cosmetics Lipliner Mauve Pink. I love the subtle, neutral color and that my lips feel moisturized at the same time. I use it daily.
3. Mary Ruth’s Lions Mane. I don’t know if I’m imagining it, but I feel such peace in my soul from it, and it’s super tasty.

Sara M

1. Klean Kanteen Insulated Classic Narrow Cup. Klean Kanteen’s insulated bottle is my best friend. It comes with me to work, in the car, on trips, in the forest, and at the gym. It keeps my water cold and fresh all day.
2. Ekendahls Calendula Salve. The calendula salve is fantastic! It’s perfect when the skin feels dry and irritated, even on my face and lips. It helps heal my eczema, scrapes, and small wounds. I use it on my children and myself. The calendula salve is so good it should be in every home first aid kit!
3. Närokällan’s Magnesium Glycinate. I use magnesium glycinate every evening and couldn’t manage without it. It prevents muscle pain and makes me feel much better.
