“As much as 60% of topical skin-care products are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream,” said Dr. Nancy Lonsdrof, M.D. an lowa-based physician. “They should be consumed with the same prudence that we use to choose our breakfast cereal.” — Women's Health Magazine, April 2006 Our standard for skincare products:No artificial preservatives, colorants or fragrances; no petroleum-based chemicals; no harsh ingredients; no DEA or TEA; no sodium laurel sulfate; no animal testing. (Please note that because the products we carry contain only natural ingredients, products may vary in color from batch to batch.) |

Earth's Beauty"The Earth's Beauty line of pure loose powder makeup was developed for those who are sensitive or allergic to traditional cosmetics. Because we use minimal ingredients, the products are in the loose powder form. We use ingredients such as arrowroot and iron oxides. To achieve an SPF face powder we add such ingredients as kaolin clay, magnesium stearate, and zinc oxide. There is no titanium dioxide in our products which can be drying to the skin in a powder form. Our products do not contain nano particles." -From Earthsbeauty.com |

Wild Carrot HerbalsSince 2000, our goal has been to create honest, nutrient-dense, joyful products that are reasonably priced for the entire family. We manufacture everything ourselves at Wild Carrot with the exception of our organic castile soap & Camamu bar soaps. We try to grow as many of the botanical ingredients that we use in our products at the farm or we wild craft them ourselves in the surrounding area. We make hundreds of gallons of our own botanical infused oils out of this plant material every year. We source organic ingredients whenever possible. Our products are all made in very small batches-measured, mixed, hand poured and labeled the old fashioned way with love, care, and cleanliness. -From WildCarrotHerbals.com |
