Experts say our bodies absorb over 60% of what is put on the skin; unfortunately, this includes any harsh chemicals, toxins, fragrances and preservatives that are frequently used in creating many body care products. If you are conscientiously shopping for clothing that does not harm the environment, why wouldn’t you extend the same smart practices in the selection and purchase of skin care items?!
