In researching them, I found many were were linked to skin ailments from rashes and irritation to cancers and birth defects. I immediately tossed all offending cosmetics and got to work whipping up my own natural beauty concoctions in my kitchen. Trained in herbalism, I believe in the healing, calming, and beautifying power of nature. I incorporate my knowledge of herbs and flowers into crafting truly natural beauty products. I believe in taking care of our planet, our animals, and ourselves. I never use any animal fats or byproducts, I never test on animals (and my ingredients are certified cruelty-free), and I use eco-friendly glass and cardboard packaging.
