Worth Noting...

I'm a huge fan of Burt's Bees products. {I know that technically they're competition, but...} I've been using their products for years and probably they were a source of inspiration to start making my own natural bath & body products. Anywho...while flipping through my latest 'Body & Soul' mag, I found a little Burt's Bees take-along card with synthetic ingredients to avoid. SINCE our skin is our body's largest organ and SINCE everything you put on your skin goes into your body and SINCE I'm a big advocate for more natural body care products, I thought I would pass along the info. Read the list then take a look at what kinds of yukkies are lurking in your current products.

P.S. I've recently tried the Burt's Bees shampoos, conditioners, and bubble baths and am loving them.
