I've recently discovered that ABC stores found everywhere in Tumon with sizable stores in Micronesian Mall and Guam Premium Outlets, carry a few healthy products.
They carry fresh fruit, 100% juices, unsweetened teas without preservatives (green, black, jasmine teas), and a variety of filtered or natural spring waters.
ABC also carries some healthy skin products like Dr. Bonner's organic liquid and bar soaps. I personally like the liquid tea tree oil soap, which I dilute with water and organic aloe vera. Tea tree oil comes from trees native to Australia. The oil is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-viral, which makes it a good hand soap, too. Pure tea tree oil can be purchased at Simply Foods or Vitamin World. It can be used on cuts, blemishes, etc.
ABC also carries Burt's Bees products. Although it is marketed as 'natural' and 'healthy,' I would read the ingredients before purchasing. Some of their products seem pretty good, but not organic. Other products are better than most items on the market, but still contain excess chemicals such as petrol products that may not be good for the skin. Buyers beware!
Considering that ABCs are stores catering to tourists, I like that I can find what I want in Tumon or the malls on Guam. It's fast and fresh.
