About Micronized Minerals
Sat, 08/15/2009 - 16:41 | kareno
Ok what is a Micronized mineral? It is a mineral (usually zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) that has been “micronized” or reduced to nanoparticles one millionth or one millimeter in size. So is this bad? Mineral makeup has historically contained these minerals, as has sunscreen and other beauty products. But actually, concern has been expressed about these minerals for several years.
Whole Foods, Organic Sales and the OCA

I love Whole Foods – I know there is a lot of controversy surrounding a lot of the products they sell, but for a large company I feel they really try to maintain strong ethics.

I have a 10 year old daughter who has had eczema since she was two. I have tried so many different things I could fill up this page. After many years, we have finally got it mostly under control, and I thought I would share some of the successful strategies with you!
Omega 3 – Adding this to her diet helped control the flare-ups. Eating Salmon, taking liquid fish oil, and adding freshly ground flax seed to the diet all provided a good amount of Omega 3’s.

I discovered a great website I would like to share with everyone – it’s called - www.mybeautybunny.com
As you probably know, Good Earth Beauty only sells products that come from companies that don’t test on animals. My Beauty Bunny provides information and ratings on many of these cruelty free products. I noticed a recent post on Priti Natural Soy Polish remover which was quite favorable!
What is the Green Products Alliance?
Mon, 07/20/2009 - 12:01 | karen
July 20, 2009 - You might have noticed when browsing this site that some of the products carry the “Green Products Alliance” seal. So what does this mean exactly?
The Green Products Alliance is a consortium of manufacturers and marketers who make and sell extraordinarily natural personal care products. Member companies work together to lower raw material, marketing, advertising and public relations costs through co-operative projects and group buying power. All products are subjected to a rigorous set of standards as to what is considered natural.
On Animal Testing.............
Sat, 07/11/2009 - 16:35 | karen
July 11, 2009 I am a big animal lover – I have 2 rescue cats, can’t kill a bug, and I am a vegetarian. When I started this site it was important to me to only carry brands that don’t test on animals. When you shop this site, you can rest assured that all the companies I carry do not test on animals. Some companies take it a step further, so I thought I would take a minute to explain some of the special features. Many of the brands I carry are listed in the NAVS Cruelty Free directory. NAVS stands for “The National Anti-Vivisection Society”.
