All Organic Made Products are IN!

AFTER SHOWING YOU how dangerous some over-the-shelf personal products we use are, it is good now to show you what products my wife and I use today.
These are just some of the new team members of my bathroom club. Hahaha. That's funny. Kidding aside, these products are great discoveries my wife researched from the web after receiving a gift containing another product of the same manufacturer. Welcome, Human Nature!
As you can see below, I researched the ingredients and it's checking out clean except for some warnings that mention concentration limitations. I don't think that's a concern because the benefits I experienced from using these products are awesome.   

The ingredients used in these products are. . .

ALOE BARBADENSIS (ALOE VERA) GEL: It is extracted from the succulent leaves of the aloe plant, Aloe barbadensis

A Sample of Harmful Personal Care Products You (Probably) Use

I've retired the use of my over-the-counter/shelf personal care products this morning. Why? Do you know the ingredients of the personal care products you use? I was shocked to learn that majority of the ingredients in two of the three products I use are toxic? I was also shocked that the same products we're using can cause cancer. I've listed them all below just in case you wanted to know what the ingredients are of your favorite shampoo or facial wash. 


Thanks to Google, I've learned a lot from this experience and I hope you will buy products that I am personally endorsing because they are not only environmentally friendly but they're also 100% Free from Harmful Chemcals that other hygiene products contain.


Would you like to know what this product I'm using? 


The following list shows what products have these toxic properties and you may want to pay more attention to what product you're using.
