Safe, Pure Perfume

I love perfume. However, many times the content contains harmful ingredients. I usually spray perfume on my clothing and if I use it, most of the time spray it on my clothing . I try to limit as many harmful ingredients on my skin as possible. I was so excited to find and also be able to sell this new perfume and cologne which is made purely from botanical ingredients and grain alcohol.
SD-40 is a high-grade purified grain alcohol, not synthetically produced. So pure is this specific type of alcohol that it would actually be drinkable, except that it has been mixed with a Denatonium salt, a colorless and odorless bittering agent not known to pose any health risks. By law, any cosmetic product sold in the United States using alcohol must also include a bittering agent, making it too bitter for internal consumption, taking it out of the liquor category.
These products are amazing, there is a perfume and cologne and if anyone is looking for healthier alternatives, these are a great choice.

Honey Sugar Scrub

I love sugar scrubs! There is one thing you and your skin needs every once in awhile, and that is some at home pampering. Here is a really quick, inexpensive way to make your favorite honey sugar scrub!

1/2 cup of granulated sugar
1/2 cup of honey
1 TBSP of water
4 drops of essential oil (lavender, lemon, or orange)

Mix all ingredients together in a small bowl. While showering smooth over skin and massage. This will smooth away dirt, dull and dry skin. Rinse off and pat dry. Have fun and enjoy doing something nice for you!

Skin care- what is healthy? Skin is your largest organ.

There are many products on the market that offer cosmetics, and creams that are actually more damaging to your skin and your overall health than many realize. The toxic elements and ingredients found in most cosmetics would make you sick. Most brands use an element of mineral oil that should be banned. Mineral oil is just a derivative of motor oil. You would never slather motor oil all over your body but when you use lotions, makeup, and other beauty products which you are not aware of the ingredients, you are subjecting yourself to incredible health hazards. Baby products are even under scrutiny and investigation because products displaying "all natural and safe" for baby, are not even safe and are using carcinogens as preservatives. Carcinogens over time cause cancer.
Women are not looking into this like they should when purchasing their make-up. What you put on your skin gets into your blood stream. Lotions, perfume, make-up, shampoo, etc....it is all ending up in your body. Can you imagine how toxic your system is right now from years of unknowing damage?Unless you change something quickly, you can be making yourself very sick.

There are science backed nutrients that are good for you skin and healthy for you!
- Omega 3's help soothe skin from the inside out, this also has amazing digestive benefits to ensure you are ridding your body of toxic elements. Aging occurs over time when the skin is not moisturized and taken care of from the inside.
-Probiotics- These can help balance your digestive tract, and in some cases will help fight skin problems, such as dermatitis.
-Collagen, Vitamin A, C, and E- These all support skin and overall cell health and production.
-Green Tea and Lycopene can prevent damage from UV rays and fight off cancer.
There are healthy products on the market for better skin-care. Look into what you are putting on your face because it is getting into your body.
If you are interested in healthy beauty products please visit the following site and you can place an order online. All of these products are gluten free, certified vegan, and plant based.

The anti-aging skin secret

Most people, especially women ,want to know if there is some magical way of making their skin look better and how they can slow down the aging process. One of the biggest way's is to stop using mineral oil based products. It is that simple! 98% of all cosmetics in the US use mineral oil, unless they are organic, or plant based and are clearly defined in the ingredient list. John Hopkins University named ,"mineral oil in cosmetics and moisturizers as the number two cause of aging. The first being direct exposure to the sun.The result is premature aging and increased health risks." Mineral oil traps dirt and blocks the absorption of vitamins and natural elements your skin needs to breathe and be healthy.

Skin is the largest element on your body. Everything you put on your skin gets into your blood stream and system. Manufacturers use mineral oil because it is cheap but the longterm affects are terrible, and the price you pay is accelerated aging. 
It is not always labeled as mineral oil. There are hundreds of different ways mineral oil can be labeled on products.From the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), March of 2001: "In a study of environmental toxins found in the blood and urine, there were surprisingly high amounts of toxic chemicals found in everyday products like perfume, soaps and cosmetics in the people tested." Mineral oil is a carcinogen. This is known to cause cancer and skin disorders. 
 Do your research and make sure you are buying healthy products for your skin! 
BUY PRODUCTS WITHOUT MINERAL OIL! Plant and botanically based products are best! 
Botanical Based SKIN CARE!
