“Beauty is a glorious gift of nature.” Homer
What you put on your skin is absorbed through your skin. To be more precise, the skin absorbs approximately 60% of any substance applied to it. Hence the success of trans-dermal skin patches prescribed by physicians to deliver medications.
Unfortunately, most of the skin care products mass produced for the market today, even those claiming to be `all natural’ and/or `botanically based’ products, contain harsh, toxic and even possibly carcinogenic ingredients that actually contribute to disorders of the skin and accelerate the aging process.
There is a growing concern from consumers about the ingredients in the personal care products they use daily. In a recent study by the US General Accounting Office (GAO), 125 ingredients found in cosmetics are suspected of causing cancer. Twenty ingredients have been implicated in causing birth defects. Twenty ingredients may cause adverse neurological symptoms, such as headaches and convulsions. Most of these toxic chemicals are so inexpensive that they are used in extremely high concentrations in many personal care products.
These toxic chemicals provide no benefits or nutrients to the skin. They are the inexpensive alternatives employed to achieve the “feel” or “slip” to the skin that occurs naturally using pure, nutritious, essential oils and vegetable oils. The chemicals used to replace the nutritious components are used in significant concentrations in most skin care products. Their only purpose is to increase the profit margins for the manufacturers. The health of the consumer is completely disregarded.
The trend for natural products is growing because the educated consumer is now demanding these for face and body care. Making the decision to use only natural products is easy. Incorporating this decision into your everyday life becomes more difficult as you try to practice it. It is nearly impossible to find completely natural and organic personal care products on the commercial market. It is offensive to see large numbers of chemically laden personal care products lining the shelves of natural health and food markets. Marketed as “Natural”, these products contain harmful synthetic chemicals; however, few of us have the time to peruse the ingredient lists of our moisturizer, deodorant, body lotion and any of the other products we apply daily. We trust that the products sold in these “natural health stores” are safe for the entire family, and so we believe the advertised claims on the bottles of shampoo, lotion, facial care, etc.
According to industry estimates, on any given day a consumer may use as many as 25 different cosmetics and personal care products containing more than 200 different chemical compounds. If a product claims to be organic and /or natural, its ingredients should be easily recognizable as natural components. Also, the ingredients should be listed in descending order with the most prominent factors listed first.
Nature offers all that is needed for healthy, radiant and beautiful skin.
“In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous.” Aristotle

Title: Organic Meats From Online Organic Food Stores And Suppliers
|
|
Not everyone knows about the fact that you can get not only organic produce but also organic meats. This enables you to change your entire dietary lifestyle if you so wish, without having to compromise on such things as organic meats and organic dairy products, substituting the non-organic stuff instead.
In fact, if you do your grocery shopping in a place where organic foods are readily available, you will find the organic meats and dairy products to be readily available alongside their stock of organic fruits, vegetables and processed foods. This is also true, maybe especially more so, of online organic food stores and suppliers.
So what is the deal with organic meats? Well for one thing, organically reared animals are treated to a different regimen than animals reared on normal farms. For one thing, these animals are only fed organic foods.
This means that they don’t have any non-organic foods in their diets at all from the very beginning. They are only fed on high quality organic produce. There is also the small factor of not having any antibiotics pumped into these animals as well as not being subject to other potentially harmful toxins.
Just because you prefer organic foods, it doesn’t mean that you have to become vegetarian or even vegan. You can still enjoy the same sumptuous foursquare meals that you’re used to without loss of vital ingredients. This is where knowing where to get your organic meats can come in handy.
And part and parcel with organic meats, come organic dairy products. Since animals reared in an organic farming environment will also produce organic dairy products as well, you have that assurance that you can still enjoy your port and cheese!
All that aside, when you’re looking at organic meats, you will also want to look at the various processed organic foods as well, that contains meat. Unless it has been specifically stated that the ingredients within the packaging s 100% organic you might find yourself faced with only some of the items being organic.
This applies to any meats to be found in the product as well. Unless it has been stated specifically that the meats contained are organic meats you might want to think twice before buying these types of processed foods.
If you’re having trouble finding not only organic meats but organic fish as well, you might want to try your hand at finding an organic foods supplier online. You will more than likely have better luck at these places finding, and purchasing, your organic meats, fish and dairy produce.

Title: Finding Good Organic Food Suppliers From Whom You Can Get Your Organic Foods
|
|
If you’re thinking about going organic there are a few things which you might want to look into first. And one of the most important aspects of trying to go organic is finding good organic food suppliers from whom you can get your organic foods. This includes not only organic fruits and vegetables, but also organic meat and poultry, organic dairy produce as well as organic processed foods.
All of these things come under the heading of organic foods, and when you’re looking to find organic food suppliers for your own needs, then you will have to take these into account as well. On the one hand, and depending on where you live, you have the option of going to the source to get your organic foods, but this will only work if you live in close proximity to organic farmers.
If you do live near an organically run farm, then you have will most likely not have a problem obtaining your organic produce and things. However, since an organic farm will only be able to produce a limited number of organically grown items, it does behoove you to find other organic food suppliers who will be able to look after your other organic needs.
If on the other hand you live in a big city which is miles away from the nearest organic farm, you will have to look around for your organic food suppliers. The best place for you to look would be your local food chain or supermarket, but it’s not guaranteed that these places will a) have organic foods to begin with; and b) whether they will have a wide range of organic products for you to choose from.
That said, your next option when looking at organic food suppliers is to locate your nearest health store, make certain that it sells organic foods items and go there for all your organic food needs.
This option however, comes with a few drawbacks, the largest one being the elevated price. Not all health food stores will be expensive, but to a very great extent many health food stores carry food items which are costly, and when you throw in the word “organic” into that mix, it just drives up the prices. Organic foods are costly enough without having to add health food store prices into it as well.
Another option for you to take, and this does seem to be your best option is to go through the many online organic food suppliers to get your organic food needs. Here you will find that you have a larger array of organic foods to choose from as well as a larger number of organic food suppliers to choose from.

Title: Can You Go Organic For Everything?
|
|
Organic meat. Organic vegetables. Organic pet food. Organic cosmetics. Organic moisturizer. Where does it end? Or rather, can everything be organic for your benefit?
The answer to this is quite tricky. It is an extremely general question, so let us focus first on skin care and cosmetics products, in which case the general answer is yes.
On the one hand, yes, you can find just about everything you need for your skin and beauty needs in the area of organic ingredients. Companies have formulated sunscreen with organic materials, products to help calm oily skin, ease dry skin, and prevent acne. Companies have worked overtime to bring you organic products, so the minute they figure it out, they bring it to you and let you do with it as you wish.
The catch is that you have to find legitimate companies for your organic needs. With few to no regulations on organic products, many places have gone overboard and smacked a label on an item that may have no organic ingredients at all, or maybe just one to make sure they cannot get in trouble for false claims or advertising.
There are groups out there who have banded together to help sort out the good companies from the false ones, doing what they can to help the baffled consumer pick out appropriate products. Even then you may have to do some research in order to make sure the group giving their stamp of approval to a company is legitimate in itself. It is a sad thing that in this world you have to do so much work yourself just to make sure if one small bottle of eye cream is good or if it is a joke, but it is necessary so you might as well understand what must be done on your part.
The second available answer is no. With organic products and asking this sort of question, do not be confused; different people have different ideas on what is organic and what is not. Some people consider a product made entirely out of organic ingredients to be organic. If there are any synthetics whatsoever in the product, then it is not. Overall, yes, products out there for all various uses can be organic, but that is only if you are willing to consider that these products will have other synthetics with them.
If you are seeking 100 percent organic products, then no, you will not have a very good chance at finding a great many. If you want to find an organic astringent, then just use cold water or straight witch hazel that has not been altered or chemically toyed with in any way. Otherwise, you will have to turn to a man made product, and many of these are going to have some synthetic organic ingredients in it. What constitutes as organic all depends upon your personal views, as there is no concrete organic definition that people and companies are willing to agree on.
You should not let this fact worry you. Should you be one of the people out there searching for complete and utter 100 percent organic products, then you would do well to simply look up recipes and make your own garden; here is wishing you luck with that. Synthetics are not necessarily bad for you.
In fact, many of them are more effective than the actual organic ingredients. Scientists these days are much more careful about their testing of new items and are sure to give out as much information possible; a bad product will catch the company and its employees a lot of flack, something the company definitely does not want. Synthetics combined with organics are meant to help your skin and make for better products, thus better results for you.
Know what you are looking for in a product and even if a product that has the majority of its ingredients made up of organics happens to contain a few synthetics, do not shy away. Instead, see what possibilities it may have, as they might be just what you were looking for.

Title: Organic This ... Organic That - What Exactly is "Organic" Food?
|
|
These days (every day) we hear so much about our food being grown and raised in modified ways. More and more of us are searching for labels to help us make more health-conscious choices. We find labels that say things like "free range", "organically grown", "antibiotic and hormone free", or non-GMO". These phrases were mostly unheard of 10 years ago. So, what do these terms have to do with "organic food"?
"Organic food" and "health food" are not interchangeable. Organic is very different. It must meet specific production standards which vary from what has become the normal process over the last thirty or so years. It's not so much that the foods themselves are bad - it's the modern technological preparation, processing and alteration that gets us into trouble.
Look for the USDA Organic Seal
Here in the United States, food must be certified organic through the National Organic Standard (NOS) Program, created to comply with the Organic Food Production Act of 1990. However , it was another 12 years (2002) before the U.S. Department of Agriculture produced the USDA Organic Seal to place on all foods that are at least 95% organic.
Organic vegetables, fruits, grains and other crops must be grown without using:
* conventional pesticides
* artificial fertilizer
* human waste or sewage sludge
* food additives
* "ionizing radiation" - energy particles that alter the number of electrons in the item's molecules and atoms, which is done to change their size and appearance, or experiment with hybrids and taste. This can be harmful to the DNA of human and other animal cells.
Animals considered "organically raised", must meet these conditions:
* they aren't given routine antibiotics or growth hormones like steroids
* they continue to be fed their natural, unaltered, non-filler diet
Cows are mostly grain-feed for a time prior to slaughter rather than allowed to feed on their
natural diet of grass, plants and shrubs. They are also often given growth hormones. These two things are done to make them bigger and meatier. Antibiotics are administered to prevent them from getting sick on this grain diet which is foreign to their digestive systems. The animal is getting less nutrition from grain - meaning the consumer will get less nutrition too - and the antibiotics from the animal flesh can get trapped in our tissues, making us resistant to antibiotics that we may need later.
"Free range" or "cage free" - a term used most often for poultry and egg labels - is a general term meaning the chickens, hens, etc. are allowed outside time instead of being "cooped up", so to speak. But this doesn't always mean "organic". They may still be given antibiotics and GMO-altered grain.
What is "genetically modified" (GMO) food?
GMO (genetically modified organism) is a term used to mean that genetic engineering techniques known as "recombinant DNA technology" have been used to combine DNA from different sources and inserted "in vitro" into one molecule of a plant or animal. This could mean that both the animal and its food have been genetically modified. Concerns are turning up about new allergens, increased toxicity and further decreased nutrition from the GMO process. In the U.S. and most other countries, organic foods are not allowed to be genetically modified.
