Natural Cosmetics

Skin is the biggest organ of our body: it covers about 1.8 sq. m. The face and neck skin is especially sensitive. Because it is an organ, bringing to life thing, it should be nourished as any odder part of the body. Beside the nutrition we get through food, the skin also ingests nutrients from cosmetics. These go directly to the bloodstream, without the digestion process. And like all ingested substances they become raw material for building new body tissue or they become toxic waste. 

So, are we nourishing it the right way? Many cosmetic products on the market are advertised to be "natural", based on plant extracts, enzymes etc. Only if you read the small print you find that this natural ingredients constitute only a small percent of the product. The rest are synthetic and chemical ingredients: dyes, emulsifiers, preservatives and fragrances.  

The only ingredients used in the following recipes are plants and herbs or there natural extracts and essences, pure vegetable oils, pure water, honey, milk, cocoa butter, whole vegetables and fruits, sea salt, pure clay powder and natural bee wax.
