There is a huge movement toward ‘natural’ products of all descriptions. Of them all, the most important would be those that would be applied directly to our bodies. Thank you for this opportunity to express our opinion in order to educate others.

None of the "100% natural" wording is regulated by the governement. I prefer buying my personal care products that only have truly and fully natural ingredients. I've found that Repurify has a pretty good selection of natural makeup, soaps and other personal care products. Enjoy-

Using pure and natural soaps has so many advantages over the chemical-added variants that are available commercially that they are too many to list here. The psychological attitude that comes from knowing that what you are applying to your body is pure and clean…is unsurpassed.

As a skincare formulator, I agree, that one should avoid "fragrance" if they are looking for green, natural skincare products.

Stick with essential oils, or products scented by natural organic flavorings.

I was reading the notes and I appreciate the info, however it is always nice to provide solutions along with stating problems. So, is there a healthy essential oil product line that people can use? If so, please list it on your blog.

Thanks,

Hello, Beth
I know this is a fairly old post, but I found it while googling Pure and Natural (you're right up there!). I appreciate you calling the company out on that unknown one percent. But I did want to add that, while it may not be the cleanest thing on the market, it goes a long way. (Although, to be honest, I stick with Kiss My Face Pure Olive Oil as the safest soap ever). The main point I wanted to make, however, is that the reason I googled Pure and Natural is because they give a portion of their profit to the World Wildlife Fund. And that says something, too.
Thanks.
M

Another interesting fact about the Pure & Natural Company is that it is owned by the Dial Corporation. They have been manufacturing a product called Pure & Natural for over 20 years but they reformulated and repackaged it recently to get in on the gree/natural beauty products market. They have been very careful to conceal this fact, but you can't really hide anything completely in the world of the internet. I looked everywhere for evidence of true ownership since their web site pure-natural.com is very vague, but a simple whois search for the domain reveals that the domain is registered to the Dial Corp.

The article is great and I couldn’t agree more with it. Naturals soaps should be 100% natural! I use soaps with 100%natural oils and scents and my skin feels great.

I have extremely sensitive skin and have always looked for the fragance free, dye free items. 30 years ago I usually only had a choice of one thing. Now I am truly grateful that fragrance free and dye free are in regular stores. However, the amount of fragranced items have skyrocketed! I can't believe how many scents of bleach there are on the shelves.

Thanks so much for an incredibly interesting article and the comments were quite interesting as well.

Have a great day,
Kristin
