Have you ever looked at a label for a beauty product that reads, “You can use this for EVERYTHING!” Well, probably not. As far as beauty products go, multi-purpose isn’t really how most would be classified. We’ve got creams bursting out of our medicine cabinets. One for practically ever body part—there are creams specifically made to combat wrinkles, under eye serums, lotions just for our faces, for our feet, and then there are the standard hand and body creams.
Our bathroom cabinets are stocked full of goodies, each with just one purpose—and while they might do a dang good job at what they’re intended for, it seems our ever-dwindling shelf space likely won’t be thanking us any time soon.
Perhaps, though, you’re just not aware of the full-potential of your pantry potions. Take coconut oil, for instance, it’s quickly become the jack-of-all-trades. From the kitchen to the bathroom, coconut oil is being used for cooking and baking as well as oral hygiene and skin care. Have a shelf stocked with Max & Madeleine goodies? You’re in luck. Many of our products have a ton of alternate uses, too, that allow you to get the absolute most out of every product.
