I recently became aware of all the chemicals that are being put into all the common "big name" personal care products and cosmetics...and quite honestly, I find it appaling. The Government (FDA) does not regulate what companies put into their personal care and cosmetics. I did a lot of research on all this recently and I've decided to switch to natural, chemical-free personal care products because believe it or not, a lot of those chemicals are known to cause not only breakouts and acne, but cancer, reproductive problems and many other heath concerns/problems.

Here's some more links that may be of interest to ya:

The following website called Skin Deep provides safety ratings and brand-by-brand comparisons of makeup, skin, hair, dental/oral, nail and eye care, as well as perfume and colognes, that can help consumers choose safer products. You'll probably be shocked at what is in your every day personal care products - I know I was! *BE SURE TO CHECK OUT "WHY THIS MATTERS", "FACT SHEET" AND "WHAT YOU CAN DO" near the upper right hand corner of this website.

The companies listed in the link below have pledged to not use chemicals that are known or strongly suspected of causing cancer, mutation or birth defects in their products and to implement substitution plans that replace hazardous materials with safer alternatives in every market they serve. Several major cosmetics companies, including OPI, Avon, Estee Lauder, L'Oreal, Revlon, Proctor & Gamble and Unilever have thus far refused to sign the Compact for Safe Cosmetics.

cheap conditioner to shave legs, underarms and bikini.
white vinegar softens skin, helps sunburn and neutralizes odor.
lotion much better then conditioner on hair and yes you can use your coco butter on your hair. we also use it for everything.
pinxav- a baby rash cream that we also use for everything. burn yourself and apply, you will not blister.
