Why Green Favorites?

​My name is Beate, I am the founder of Cavallo Gallery and I am a German-born artist in Virginia, and in 2010, after many years of many mysterious ups and downs, I was (finally!) diagnosed by a functional practitioner with Hashimotos disease, an autoimmune disease caused by excessive stress, gluten and environmental factors. I was thrilled to finally be able to tackle things and manage life more efficiently again.
As a result, I cleaned up my kitchen, fridge, life and my home. My nutrition and routines became dedicatedly organic and toxin free and I re-learned how to bake and cook delicious foods and use products sans irritants. I feel so lucky that I have been able to largely recover and regain my energy and control over my life (which I need to keep up with all of my ideas and creativity...). As a result of this drastic improvement, I am an adamant supporter of clean healthy living, organic foods, avoiding anything processed, and taking care of yourself.
And: reading labels y'all!

By now you know that in Europe there are over 1K banned toxins in cosmetic products. The U.S. is chewing on prohibiting just the tiniest fraction of this, so it's up to you to stand up for yourself. Brands like Beauty Counter and the EWG are on the move to change this, please support their efforts!
I have supported and carried small introductions to clean products in my stores for a decade, many of which are produced by women who have learned from personal experience as well and have come up with amazing solutions based in the power of nature and with minimal effective ingredients. Organically sourced essential oils have been another of my personal favorite tools to battle things like stress and sleeplessness.

Wonderful resources for boosting your immunity, cleanses, facials, massages and stress relief are my friends Kacie at Studio Botanique in Lewisburg WV, Yvonne at deEsteticienne (I love the InfraRed Sauna), Mill House Spa in Orange, and WellRoom in Charlottesville.
I believe in this so passionately that in 2022, I am hoping to join the NTA part time for an additional education as a natural nutritional advisor (AIP).
​
Speaking of stress:
​After the last few years, I'd say we've all earned ourselves some SERIOUS stress relief, so CAVALLO VERDE features a selection of my toxin-, allergen- & gluten-free favorites created by those wonderful women and artists. These have all been tried, trusted and extremely successful for myself & my friends - I hope you love them as well!
​Go green/clean with me & let's stay well (and sane) together this year! xx Beate

What goes onto your skin goes into your skin goes into your blood goes into your system ...

Cheap "condiments" like lead and petrochemicals that you find in lipsticks etc. are not on my menu of delicacies, so part of what you will instead find on our shelves are nourishing organic lip balms by brands like KariGran, Red Apple Lipstick, and clean lash boosting mascaras and UV protective serums by Hynt Beauty, as well as artisan organic products by ESTELI Beauty and other brands based in Nature.

I discovered New York based ANIMA MUNDI a few years ago and am so happy to be able to share these beautiful herbal products with you - as with everything, there is a learning curve to using the power of herbs and adaptogens successfully, and Adriana (the founder of ANIMA MUNDI) has a wonderful way of teaching you how to do this.
We have her book at the ready for you, I am happy to answer questions and I hope that you will enjoy these!

​Cacao is a sacred food, and ingredients like soy can really impair the healthful benefits it has.
Finding sustainably and ethically sourced, beautiful tasting chocolates has been a fun journey for me. 
We carry gluten free chocolates, some dairy free for those of us who prefer to stay away from that.
All of our chocolates are DELICIOUS and worth exploring, some contain herbs, others a touch of CBD

​- (More on the way!)

Good organic and natural teas and adaptogenic coffees are my favorite by far.
In 2022 I hope to expand this section at the gallery.
Favorite new discovery: RA HYGGE low acid organic Mushrooom Coffees with adaptogenic properties that boost your immunity, relieve stress and deliver energy sustainable without the jolt or twinge in your gut.
Combined with Anima Mundi's Adaptogenic Blends and organic coconut or nut milk, these will be your favorite new health and mood boosting friends!
