This is a good post. I like to see that others think like I do. It is very important that people learn to be aware of what they are putting on their skin. Our skin absorbs everything so we really need to be aware of what is good and bad and avoid as much as possible the bad.
I like the Made from Earth website because they list all their ingredients in plain English. On the box every ingredient has the standard latin based name and the English explanation of it. For example, “butyrospermum parkii butter – shea butter”. Very convenient. Cause latin and me never really got along too well…
their face firming serum is amazing…feels healthy and organic, and alot less expensive than the other DMAE serums on the markets
