The skin care industry is not regulated by any agency. Broken down into simple terms, what the means is that the companies that make lotions, make up, lip balm, etc. can put pretty much whatever they want in their products and it doesn’t really matter if it’s harmful or not. Unfortunately, many skin care manufacturers do exactly that. Since no one is regulating what companies are putting into the products we use on our skin – it’s up to us to make sure we choose natural skin care products.

Now, I’m not one to overreact about health risks, I’m really not. And I’m well aware that there are many, many products that are far more dangerous than skin care products. That said, I think it’s absurd that we, meaning consumers, choose to support companies that engage in unsafe practices – even if they are only marginally unsafe.

In that vein, I’ve been making a choice to pay attention to who I buy products from. I want to know what’s in the things that I’m using on myself and my family. I want to support companies that are making an effort to do what’s right. I hope that others feel the same way. When we choose to support the companies that do the right thing – we force other companies to either get out of business or follow suit.

One of my favorite responsible companies when it comes to natural skin care products is Burt’s Bees. They state exactly what ingredients they are using in each of their products. According to the companies website, half of their products are 100% natural, and they are working to making every product they offer completely natural. They are a socially responsible company that has also managed to create high-quality products at an extremely fair price. I’ve used lots of their stuff and I love it all.

If you’d like to try some great natural skin care products and don’t know where to start, pick up some of their starter packs to see what you like. A few of my favorites are the Radiance Healthy Glow Kit and the Hand Repair Kit.

The Hand Repair Kit comes with shea butter hand repair creme, beeswax and banana hand creme, lemon butter cuticle creme, an instruction booklet, and really cute gloves.

The Radiance Healthy Glow Kit comes with a body bar, exfoliating body wash, body lotion, day creme, night creme, eye creme, and lip shimmer. With the exception of the lip shimmer, all of the products are trial-sized, so for a great price, you can try a small amount of each product to make sure that you like it.

When it comes time to purchase new lotion, soap, or other personal care products – make sure to give the natural skin care products by Burt’s Bees a try.
