Cosmetics to Avoid
Author: Lori Stryker

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
Organic Make-up Company has excellent, high quality alternatives
to skin care and make-up cosmetics, which are free from all the
ingredients listed below. Please visit our glossary for more

Funny thing about my friends, they all know that there are nasty things in their cosmetics but do they want to do anything about it???

Not at all. The only way to go is all natural and organic especially now that is just as good as the regular stuff.

I found this company called The Organic Make-up Company and they are mentioned in this forum.

They have a great line of products! I have used them. I love their lipstick, lip balm and their face powder is amazing.

The best thing is that they are in Canada so that all their prices are in Canadian dollars.

Come on ladies switch to the better side of things, go organic!
