Personal Care

What is your skin eating?

Our skin is our largest organ - it's also a prime way for your body to let in toxins. It was astonishing to me when I understood how the average woman puts over 500 chemicals on her body a day!  And not only that - our skin may absorb as much as 60%! And that's average - yikes - it certainly caused me to look at my skincare, sunscreen, shampoo, mouth care, deodorant, lip care, hand sanitizer, moisturizer, oh my! Although I'm far from having it all sorted - I would like to share natural products that I've found to love and continue to go back to.

THE AYURVEDA EXPERIENCE

I love this company’s face and body oils!  And I love that this company uses best manufacturing practices to provide the best quality, pure, authentic Ayurvedic herbs free from pesticide or heavy metal toxicity exposure.
