We all want skin that is soft, well moisturized and free of blemishes. That’s why we spend so much money on lotions, creams, cleansers and scrubs. We rub gallons of the stuff into our skin each year trying to turn back the hands of time without wondering what it is that’s really in those bottles.
There are plenty of products that say “Made With Natural Plant Extracts!” on the label so we assume it’s better than the rest because after all, Mother Nature loves us. The plant extracts are in there alright, and they would be great for your skin, except so are a whole mess of 15 syllabic chemicals that came out of a laboratory, not the earth. Most of these chemicals do more harm than good. They can irritate your skin, affect your central nervous system or increase your risk for breast cancer. That’s hardly conducive to gorgeous skin.
Finding all natural skin care products is fairly hard to do in your local drug store, but they’re just a click away. The people at Pangea Organics are so dedicated to bringing you the best for your body and the earth that their products are synthetic free and come in seed embedded boxes (basil or amaranth) that you can plant in your garden. Cargo has gotten in on the action and has wildflower seeds in their Plant Love lipstick boxes as well as having the lipstick tubes be made entirely out of corn. Plus, they’re donating two dollars from the sale of every shade to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. For your make up needs, Afterglow Cosmetics brings you a natural blend of pure mineral make-up, organic lipsticks and organic liners containing no bismuth oxychloride, parabens, cornstarch or talc, no fd&c or lake dyes, petro-chemicals and no mineral oil.
