Healthy ingredients listed on the label should be very important to consumers. Unfortunately, big commercial manufacturers slap marketing words around so people “think” they are good for you.

Sypport smaller companies like Lady Emily among others that don’t use fancy, expensive advertisements and packaging!

It really does go to show that not all chemicals are bad and not all natural ingredients are good.

One must read the label and do the homework to understand what is in the product and whether it is something we want to put on our skin (or in our bodies)!

Some natural ingredients (especially essential oils like peppermint, lemon balm, peru balsam – they are extremely irritating) and most chemicals are best kept off the skin, but sometimes they are necessary to ensuring a product is safer for us than if they didn’t contain them (eg. a preservative).

A healthy balance is what it is all about – read the label and be aware of what you are putting on your skin. Go for natural skin care, but be sure you are getting something effective, not just a pretty botanical soup. Also, be sure the product is well preserved so that you don’t end up with germ-contaminated products on your face!

I really can’t imagine eating my makeup. Well, I guess I do eat my lipstick without realizing it, LOL.

I have found a new skin care line that states “it’s so pure you can eat it”.
It’s based on completely pure and Organic oils. I was first worried to put oils on my skin but have learnt different..My God! It’s fantastic.
My skin has never been so clear and my “dry skin days” are over.

You have probably heard about the many benefits of Shea Butter. It is used for many different things such as dry skin, irritation, muscle aches, chapped lips, dry hair, and many more.

Shea Butter is made from the kernel of the Karite tree. Before it is made, the Karite tree produces a fruit. It is a green-orange fruit which is about the size of an apricot. It is deliciously sweet, and high in vitamin C and other nutrients. When the fruit is eaten, there is a kernel left over. This is what is used to make the Shea Butter that we love for our skin!

Shea Butter is more than just great for your skin. Knowing that it is safe enough to eat is important. You no longer have to worry about which kind of cream and moisturizer you can use for your baby’s sensitive skin, your chapped lips, or even your face. It is something that can be used for a ton of different things. Thanks, Mother Nature!
