All of us use personal care products throughout our life - soaps, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, toothpastes, deodorants, etc. Many of the common, over advertised products, that we have been brought up with have ingredients that are not healthy for our bodies and our common home.

A simple way to decide if you want to continue to use your conventional produc is look at the ingredients (if your product actually lists them) and check to see whether these are good ingredients - check out Environmental Working Group Cosmetic Safety Database. We also have several reference books in the store where you can look up ingredients.

Everything you put on your skin (your body's largest organ) can be absorbed into your body. Your skin isn't the only way that toxins can enter your body - many products have scents/fragrances/flavours and these can be absorbed into your body trhough your nose and/or your mouth.
