using natural products and chemical free products!!!!  

Hi Military Mom! I know this discussion was started months ago but I just joined :) I personally think natural is the way to go. A little known fact is a lot of chemical additives in cosmetics are bannwed (and have been banned for years!) by the FDA. And skin is the largest organ on our body, so if I can't ingest it directly what makes me think my skin isn't absorbing it? Furthermore, I have a young son who had a bad rash and nothing(OTC AND prescription medicenes) was working long term. My mother in law suggested I use shea butter (unrefined!) and almost immediately his rash cleared; even his pediatrician was amazed. Anywhoo, there is this great site where you can buy great natural products cheap! Every month I stock up. The site is www.naturallybeautifully.com. The thing I like is you can choose your packaging. Even if you don't choose a package they always send the products in the most adorable bottles and jars! One time it was egyptian perfume bottles, the next time it was antique looking perfume bottles. Hope this helps!

I definitely agree. People don't realise that the products we use on our skin are absorbed into our blood stream. Who knows what sort of long term health effects this will have on us? All you have to do is look at the ingredients list on the back of shampoos, soaps, creams, and makeup to see that whaty's in these products is nothing but chemicals and artificial colours. It's quite scary. Even products that advertise themselves as being 'natural' have ingredients in them that have names you'd need a scientist to pronounce! I certainly hope that the genuine natural products market will continue to grow as people realise that chemicals in beauty products (not to mention food) are what's causing so many of today's new ailments.

Oh yes, catherinelmsmith, the more natural the better. My husband has problems with his sinus' and I have to watch what perfume I use. There was this natural perfume on the market years ago, but I can't find it anywhere, so he has to test it before I buy it..

Hi girl! I'm a fan of natural products. I don't know if the products you use are the same I'm actually using. I have natural products for laundry, cleaning, the kids, pets, personal care, medicine cabinet, etc. I've been for about 2 years using them. They are excellent products. For a private response do it at: milcani@yahoo.com.

i just use rubbing alcohol and vinegar for most household cleaning jobs. baking soda works wonders. there are so many websites out there for someone to learn how to make almost anything yourself!

Definitely! Also, I look at whether a product is cruelty free and without animal ingredients. We have a certain company in the UK that advertises how environmentally friendly they are, but still animal test - this just does not add up in my eyes!

This is the way to go! All the best to you. :-)

Yes thank you for introducing a new chemical free product to us. Here in my country there is also a brand which is very concerned on this health issue and allergies. It is called Melilea. You can open this blog to find more about it. http://herbs1001.blogspot.com In this blog there are more explanations about natural products and chemical free products.

I was having a chronic allergic towards dishwasher liquid soap. But now I am free from all of that problem because now I am consuming the progene tablets. It is very effective in fighting skin allergies.
