You are so right about getting what you pay for. What people don’t get though is that even though you pay for, natural products last much longer than their cheaper counterparts.

Check your e-mail for my recommendations! As far as the book, “Toxic Beauty”, for me it’s an essential resource for the eco-beauty conscious girl! Dr. Samuel Epstein did a fabulous categorizing and explaining the most dangerous toxic ingredients we should avoid. I highly recommend it. He was just interviewed by Dr. Mercola too…to access to Dr. Mercola’s interviews and newsletter click here: Dr. Mercola newsletter As for “Not Just a Pretty Face,” I have not read that one yet, but I’ve heard great things.

Also, my ebook, Saving Face: Exposing Toxic Cosmetics is upcoming and I plan on including all my product recommendations in that too. I never recommend something I haven’t first used myself.

I want to sincerely thank you for your support too!

Thanks for the great comments and extra info! I didn’t know that about the paper trail!

For instance a liter of certified organic rose essential oil costs $10,000. Yes it’s astounding.

One thing that goes even a bit further in regards to the ingredients of a certified organic product which drives up the cost is that each ingredient in the product must have a paper trail back to the seed and farm where it was grown.

This requires a big effort on the part of the manufacturer to keep all the records. Also the manufacturing plant must be certified as well. So a truly organic product, one that is third party food standard certified organic by USDA or ACO (like miessence) requires a much bigger commitment by the company to meet the organic claim they are making for the product.

Thanks for educating us
