More water, alcohol and witch hazel....
Another Dr. Hauschka product for $32/3.4 oz. containing water, alcohol and witch hazel as the main ingredients. Also a drop or two of essential oil. Certainly not worth the price even with biodynamic farming.

Water, alcohol and witch hazel
Check into the ingredients in this 3 oz./$33 bottle of toner before you buy. It also contains Lactic Acid which is a restricted ingredient in some countries, is known to produce organ system toxicity , cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, and irritation to skin, eyes, or lungs (from the Skin Deep Environmental Working Group database http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com). I think we can do better than this for ourselves!

Good but...I have some questions.
I cannot argue that the products are interesting but I am concerned with the ingredients: why is alcohol listed as usually the 2nd ingredient? Why is peanut oil used when there are many better and friendlier oils for your skin. The web site says that peanut oil, "has a neutral energy that WALA feels does not interfere with healing herbs." What? If peanut oil is $19/gallon, why do these products cost so much? It's not the cost of the alcohol or the witch hazel they add (do they not interfere with the healing herbs?). I am sure that cost supposedly reflects the sheer labor-intensive nature of a biodynamic farm, which is still not proven to be any better than organic farming with its relatively less expensive products. All in all, I like the concept of the products, but feel they are not money well spent for the ingredients when there are many better alternatives out there.

Outrageous price for castor oil!
The premise is ok, but at $30/ounce it is a complete rip-off. The main ingredient is sulfated castor oil (created by adding SULFURIC ACID to castor oil so it mixes with water) with a few drops of lavender essential oil, and alcohol as the 3rd ingredient!! Not for me!!

Peanut oil at an outrageous price!
I tried this oil w/o a thorough read of the ingredients beforehand. After paying almost $27/ounce I realized it contained nothing but peanut oil with a touch of rosemary essential oil. There are many other much more beneficial carrier oils that could have been used, and the benefits of peanut oil are nil compared to those of say Sweet Almond or Jojoba. Peanut oil may be purchased for $19/gallon at Wal-Mart. Never again will I buy w/o reading the label first first; just because it's natural doesn't mean its it's helpful to your skin - or that you're not being ripped off financially!

Great Shea Butter Lotion!
I love Dingo Shea Butter Lotion; it's as thick as Dingo's Shea Butter Hand Cream so it feels rich going on, yet it doesn't leave a greasy after-feel. Love the different scents, the Rosemary Mint would have to be my favorite! An 8 oz. bottle lasts forever! I went ahead and gave it 5 stars even though they discontinued my favorite scent, Citrus Lavender!!!

Dingo Baby Yeah!
I have a 1 yr. old son with dry skin and have been using Dancing Dingo's Dingo Baby Lavender Lotion since having it approved by my Pediatrician. It has helped immensely with his little patches of dry skin, as well as keeping the rest of him in baby-soft bliss. I also like Dingo Baby Face Shea stick for his little lips and hands, and I use it on the little scratches and scrapes he has received learning how to walk! Ok, I also keep a tube in my purse for me, it's great for mom's skin too! Oh, I also use their shea butter foot cream with Tea-tree and LOVE IT! Soft sandal ready feet are always a good thing!
