Part One
No surprise here-collections of skin/body care with "natural" a not legally defined, meaningless title -arch a skeptical eyebrow when ever that's on a label- and certified USDA organic ingredients continue to win favor with customers wary of toxic ingredients in skincare/haircare/and cosmetics-just like they are concerned with what they eat. Paraben, phthalates and triclosan free and/or no artificial fragrance/dyes products are increasingly important to consumers of all ages...who read the ingredients list and scan the Environmental Working Group website for what to avoid and really avoid (or embrace).
An "O" List fav:Farmhouse Fresh

Addendum:
From a recent Cosmetic Executive Women event...products from 2 brands stood out ...ColorProof new Heal = Repair haircare products company
-founded by leading light Jim Marham -a serial entrepreneur that includes now Redken owned PureOlogy on his resumé. These healing new comers are based on the superlative African tree Baobab Superfruit oil...made without a slew of unwanted 'stuff'---
...and Teodora an eco-conscious (seriously, even the info sheets are vegetable dye-printed on paper made from banana leaves)...Certified B Corporation (top 10% scoring!!!), Fair Trade, sustainably sourced Amazon Rainforest ingredient-based skin/haircare company.
We've been using our sample of the Teodora Face and Body Toning Bar Rainforest at Dusk-moisturizing cleaner-made with sustainably sourced, anti-oxidants' packed- Buriti and Patauá oils, hydrating Cupuaçubutter and firming Coffeebutter from head to toes-leaving our skin smooth without fear of lingering chemical residues we cannot even pronounce ending up in the water supply after rinsing. Eco-conscious-all products are 100% vegan, and free of parabens, synthetic fragrance, silicone, gluten, phthalate, sulfates and other harsh chemicals.
