"This is mineral makeup but a lot of times they are what's called green washing. So you'll hear that a product is pure or it's green you can have organic products in, for instance, a shampoo, like this one claims to have green tea and some plant extracts but it's preserved and synthesized with chemicals. Again, the foaming agents, the ability for it to stay on the shelf for ten years. So don't be fooled by what you see on the front of the label, turn it over and read the back. Turn it over and investigate what is on the label. OK great advice. Same thing here. Mineral makeup is really good for you because it's suppose to let your skin breath but if its got talc again, it is defeating the purpose, and this one says that it has talc. Here we have a common hand sanitizer. Everyone is using hand sanitizers because we're very concerned with germs. The main ingredient is alcohol and it is very drying, so I would recommend making up your own hand sanitizer with titri oil and water. And, titri oil is very astringent, it's very antiseptic and it's non toxic and it's not going to dry your skin because the more that you use these common hand sanitizers the more your skin will dry out, the more you'll start putting lotions on, and again, you've moved into this vicious cycle of drying and wringing all the natural oils out of your skin. So here we have deodorant. Everyone thinks that they need to use commercial deodorants. The primary ingredient is propylene glycol. What is that? It's a trash product from petroleum refining. It dries the skin; it doesn't allow your pours to breath. There are plenty of natural deodorants out there. Lavender is an incredible deodorizer. It's an astringent so it takes away bacteria, kills bacteria. I would use essential oil, maybe lavender essential oil that you could dab on a little bit. Go to a health food store and get natural deodorants, for sure."
