Many cosmetics we use every day are made from ingredients that
may have adverse effects on our health. These may be derived
from animals, microbes or are by-products of petroleum
production. They may cause allergic reactions, contact
dermatitis, or you may simply have ethical reasons prohibiting
their use. When deciding on a cosmetic purchase, consider if
your desired purchase has an all-natural alternative. The
