Natural or organic products for skin care does not allow the sale of skin care products all over the Internet. Consumers should be aware that the natural or organic products for skin care are offered for online purchase of third parties may be genuine. They do not guarantee safety or authenticity of products sold online through a third party vendor.

I do because I prefer not to have potentially harmful chemicals being absorbed into the skin and ending up in the bloodstream.

Hugo Naturals, Badger balm, Aubrey organics, Thayers and John Masters Organic are some good ones.

I was getting really dried out last winter (my building at work is like a desert).
On the avice of an article I read in the paper, I took a couple epsom salt baths and washed my face with olive oil and salt.
I found it to help a good deal.

This is such a weird fear people have. Your skin is there precisely because it doesn't let anything get in. You can literally swim in raw sewage, and as long as you don't injest any, or have any cuts, you will be fine.

I can ask all day why they think their skin will absorb anything on it's surface, or why chemicals are bad, or why toxins are bad, or even what a "toxin" is in the first place. There are no answers. The sky is not falling. Stop being afraid of normal skincare products.

Natural products are better for the environment. I play it safe, I see no reason to not buy natural products, they work fine.

Organic and caustic (alkaline) chemicals can soften the keratin cells in the skin and pass through this layer to the dermis, where they are able to enter the veins and hence the blood stream. Areas of the body such as the forearms, which may be particularly hairy, are most easily penetrated by chemicals since they can enter down the small duct containing the hair shaft. Chemicals can also enter through cuts, punctures or scrapes of the skin since these are breaks in the protective layer.

?? Things can be absorbed into the body through the skin as it's a membrane that will allow some things in
and keep others out.

Here is a link that talks briefly about this.

Exactly, there are glands in the skin that are an access route to the bloodstream. The skin is only built to keep out certain sized matter, but when it comes to molecular sized chemicals, they can get in.

I said absorb anything. I don't understand the link at all. We're talking about ingredients that have been used on human skin for 100s of years, or gone through stringent tests, not swimming in lake water with fecal bacteria. Do you people think vaccines cause the downs too?

I'll also ask anyone what natural means. It's not a regulated term.
