Naturally better skin care

I picked up a moisturiser the other day at a health store. The label claimed organic etc. and when I looked at the ingredient list I found 95% synthetic chemicals including Cocomide DEA! from coconut they claimed and so it is 'natural'.

Fragrance can be added to a product to mask the chemical smell and doesn't need to be mentioned on the label. This means that a product can be labelled as 'fragrance free' when in fact it contains fragrance!

The only way to know what is truly going into your skin is to use products that you have made yourself and if you are not sure how to, the Naturally Better Skin Care book series makes it easy to make quality products at home.If you would like to know more visit www.skinaffairaustralia.com.
