As a Massage Therapist, I have my hands in lotions and oils every day for many hours of the day. I only use the products from One Group, who not only have a fantastic Body Lotion, but who just came up with a great Body Milk and Sunscreen. All are organic and natural. Absolutely NO Parabens, Sodium Laurel Sulfate, etc. They deliver EXACTLY what they say they do...see the ingredients list for yourself and decide for yourself...www.abchoice.mionegroup.com

Did anyone notice that Baskin Robbins Gold Medal Ribbon Ice Cream contains Methyl Paraben. My husband purchased a small carton of this ice cream and I couldn't believe the ingredient listed Methyl Paraben.

It is bad enough to applying the parabens topically. I had no idea it was also in our foods !!

I put coconut oil on my skin and went outside to work in the yard and was attacked by the next door neighbor's dog (thank God she's little!) and those pesky biting flies wouldn't leave me alone.

Coconut oil is great for cooking but I also used cold pressed organic coconut oil on my belly while I was pregnant and got no stretch marks! I did get a few on my hips and breasts so I know I am not one of those people who are immune to them but my belly, where I used the oil, got none at all!

I try not to use anything on my body that isn't natural. Miessence has an entire line of 100% synthetic chemical-free products including sunscreen, shampoos, moisturizers, liquid soap, etc. They have wonderful scents. Taking a shower is like being in an aroma therapy spa! www.organiclifeshop.com

I have been using the world's first organic personal care products to be certified to food grade. You can eat any of the products(!), and they are all effective including a safe sunscreen. See lifeorganic.mionegroup.com

Concerning coconut oil, it's also an excellent deodorant. I mix in a little baking soda along with some cinnamon extract too. Anyway, it does a nice job, and it's very inexpensive.

From my research, Emu Oil is a natural sunblock and is fabulous for all skin types and ages. I use it when ever I get the urge to soften my otherwise "neglected" skin...

Patty D, I could not agree with you more about being healthy on a fixed income. There are no discounts for a 34 year old someone who is on dissability/ food stamps. I do the best I can stagering major puchases, major is any amount on low income I know. Every two months supplements, then one month personal care. Giant food market has some brands for less than the whole food store in my area. After having a brain hemmorage, I walk with a imp.

This also left me with a seizure disorder, left sided weekness, and a diagnosis of M.S. The steroids and other "life saving medications/measues" put a load on my thyroid and reaked havoc on the reast of my body So after 3 1/2 years of being home my hopes of going back to work are not good. Following this web site as well as

Curezone.com, my health is better than most in my situation. It angers me to have to make the choice between natural alternatives and basic shelter costs. For those who say health is a choice, they have never had to choose between lights on or a meal / pain reduction or the water bill. In the end the stress is not good for my health. If I could go back to work I would.

Truth is too many commercially available lotions contain petroleum distillates which can be toxic in itself, and at the same make it difficult for ones skin to breathe. Also when speaking of sun block, common sense is the best form of sun block. Do not spend too much time in the sun, and do not burn.

As you know, that is those who frequent this website, sunshine is indeed good for what ailes you.

Read the labels and try to get some of the organic lotions and moisturizers for the skin. As a matter of fact olive oil is very consistant with human skin.

We have been a paraben-free household for 2 years now - I feel good about it. Further research into the preservatives that are used one called “phenoxyethanol". Many lotions and facial products contain this now. But I have been having a hard time finding info about other than one document that noted it too was an endocrine disruptor. Anyone know anything about this ingredient?

My skin has been a mess lately - since I stopped the pill - and as someone who has always been a bit of a snob about my skincare regime I went into an extremely expensive apothecary yesterday to try and find a new, paraben-and-preferably-all-other-nasties-free skincare range. I wasn't expecting much, but incredibly the lovely salesman put me onto a London-based company called Ren Clean Skincare whose products contain absolutely no rubbish chemicals, so I was really happy. My skin feels amazing and the only ingredients are high quality plant extracts. I don't know where it's available outside the UK but they do have a website you can order from.

I just found it really interesting to look at the ingredients on all the other bottles and see that they were all pretty much the same thing over and over again - some charging extortionate prices for the poisonous junk they'll coat you in. Yummy.

So my point is, to all those who say natural skincare isn't as good, you can get it and it feels absolutely lovely so there are no excuses. Think I'll get some for Christmas presents, at least I feel safe not giving my family carcinogenic bath soaks this year!!
