Wonderful information! I made me stop and really look at the labels. I have tried to use more natural stuff over the years but it is amazing how many item labeled “natural” are anything but. I got the shampoo bars from Prairieland Herds and love them. Thank you! The day after we got them my youngest walked into the bathroom and inhaled deeply then asked what that smell was. The bars give off a pleasing aroma. : )

I recently switched to no shampooing, and I am slowly weaning myself off of make up. I have resorted to only a bronzer by Everyday minerals. They use only true minerals and zinc and silica. I love their stuff but have decided that make up and beauty products are unnecessary and it’s just one more container that will be thrown away. It is amazing what garbage is allowed in our beauty products though! I also found another line that I enjoy called Miessense. They’re Australian based and their products are wonderful bt pricey.

I work in a health food store and recently read about an at home experiment. Cut a clove of garlic in half and rub it several times across the ball of your foot. In about 15 min. you should be able to taste it. “Food” for thought! You are what you eat, also you are what you wear!

Thanks for this book recommendation Sara!
I borrowed a copy through interlibrary loan and finished it last night. I’ll be changing some of my “natural” products and urging friends to read the book too.

This is unbelieveable and Skin Deep has changed my outlook. I’m going organic. I had no idea I was using so many products that cause cancer. I thought the FDA had to approve personal products and cosmetics!!!!!!!! >:(

Thanks for the info! We are pretty particular what we put on (and in ) ourselves here. It’s true that most of the products out there are pretty scary! Just found your site via Emily, looks awesome!

I stumbled across your blog from someone else’s link. I can’t remember who! Anyway it’s great. I’ve read a lot of the archives. A timely post, my husband and I were having a discussion tonight about starting to use healthier bath/body products.

I totally agree. When I found out what was in commercial products, I started making my own with my oldest daughter…our stuff got noticed, and has now become a little home-based business. All natural is a lifestyle. *U*

Hi Sara,

Great post. It is surprising to me how many people dunk themselves in product and never think twice about what it might be doing to them.

I used to be a heavy skin product user. In the last year, I have left behind: shampoo, conditioner, facial cleansers, creams and moisturizers, sunscreens and all makeup except for a bit of mineral makeup eyeliner a few times a week.

My skin has never looked or felt better (and I have horrible skin)!
