organic is the way to go

Hey everyone – Its so important to choose chemical free and organic skin care. If you wont put chemicals in your food – why would you put them directly into your blood stream (through your skin)?

I have been only using organic and chemical free skin products for a while now – and I even think their quality is so much better than the commercial stuff you find in CVS. Honestly – I think all those brands that are not chemical free harmed my skin all these years…since I switched to organic, I see a healthier face and fewer wrinkles around my eyes. Plus im always hydrated.

I think the best organic face cream I have tried is the 3 Berry Face Serum, from the Made from Earth. The are a small skin care company that only has chemical free products and high concentrations of organic ingredients. I found them in a Whole Foods Store and tried out a bottle and I love it.

Its thick enough to moisturize deeply, but my skin really just absorbs all of it once applied, so it doesn’t have that heavy feeling. There website is www.madefromearth.com. Definitely recommend it…the website says it contains real blueberries, raspberries and cranberries – I guess that makes the “3” in three berry serum….my skin looks super fresh after 1 month of using it. .

I also had a mediocre relationship with this face moisturizer. I bought it because my old standard Nuetrogena SPF face moisturizer wasn't organic, and I am sure had some parabens and other crap in it, so i was looking for something organic and paraben free to get involved with. Unfortunately, i had similar problems with it to all the other people who have already commented. I didn't mind the feeling of it on my face so much, and it did a pretty good job of moisturizing my face, but I have really dry skin, and it clogged my pores and made me break out. That is a big no no for me with face moisturizers. So, i have gone back to my old Nuetrogena until someone invents a better organic one (I hope it's Nuetrogena, I really really really love that face moisturizer - just hate the in-organics).

Sticky mess...

I was pretty surprised to read that this product has a bad rating in the cosmetics database. I had bought it once -- my face is very dry and sensitive to moisturizers. This seemed to work ok - but I didn't like the way it felt on my skin. It was tacky. Ick. And then it made me break out.

Try a Hat?

Trying to find an acceptable sunscreen has been a summer hobby of mine for years, but it seemed a given that a couple of days in Yosemite meant a scarlet nose.

I finally took a tip from a friend and tried a sun hat, one made with sun-screening fabric. It really worked - and no chemicals, no funny smell (and taste), and no goo.

Another one bites the dust

After reading Jessica's review I'm disheartened. I like this product better than the Collective Wellbeing one I've also reviewed, but definitely don't want the toxic chemicals inside. There has to be a daily, organic, non-chemical sunscreen for your face out there somewhere?!

Great on the skin, bad on the hazard rating.

In my attempts to find a paraben-free facial moisturizer with sunscreen, I have looked everywhere. They are hard to find, but essential for those of us with easily-burnt skin that is also sensitive to regular sunscreen. I finally found what I thought to be a great solution in this Almond Aloe moisturizer. Nut oil, aloe extract and no parabens to be found! It feels great on the skin and really does protect me from getting burnt when out in the sun. Unfortunately, when I searched for this product on the Environmental Working Group's Cosmetic Safety Database, it came back with a health hazard rating of 7 out of 10 for other ingredients linked to cancer, allergies, neurotoxicity and a bunch of other fun health issues. I am very disappointed by this news. I will use up the new bottle I have, but now the search is back on for a healthy susncreen/moisturizer.
