Your skin is an organ. Everything you put on it is absorbed. This should make you think twice about what products you use and what chemicals are in them.
In an effort to use more natural products and to support eco-friendly companies, I’ve been using Dr. Bonner’s All In One liquid soap for quite some time as a body wash. What I love about Dr. Bronner’s is that it is made with minimal ingredients (mostly oils). Many of their ingredients are organic, and many products are fair trade. They do not test on animals.
Another plus with the liquid soap is that it can be used for all of your household needs. The bottle and website list ways to dilute and use the soap from an everyday household cleaner to brushing your teeth.
My skin was rarely dry throughout the winter and I found I did not need lotion as much as usual. However Dr. Bronner’s has extended their line to include new products including body lotion and a thicker body wash using many of the same ingredients.
All of Dr. Bronner’s products including liquid and bar soap, hair rinse and cream, lip and body balm, as well as lotionts ans shaving gels can be found on their website: http://www.drbronner.com/index.html
