Human skin wraps and protects our bodies. It is a living, dynamic tissue system that has the remarkable ability to absorb applied products, partially or completely, into the bloodstream. Up to 60% of the products we use on our skin are absorbed and deposited into our circulatory system.

Cosmetic, hair and skin care industries use over 7,000 ingredients in products derived from natural or synthetic sources. As many as one-in-seven have harmful or toxic effects on the skin or body.

Switching to all-natural personal care and household products can help you avoid harmful chemicals. Be vigilant and read the label. If you're not sure ASK.

And please remember. Whenever possible buy local. There is little use going green if we have to transport the stuff from miles and miles and miles away.
