My mother died of breast cancer 10 years ago and we've been very aware of unhealthy checmicals in products (not all chemicals are unhealthy). Last year, my family switched to all Arbonne products which contain no fragrance and their philosophy is pure, safe, and beneficial. Now I sell them. If interested, check out my website, www.heidi.myarbonne.com. You can always shoot me an email with questions at heidilee@myarbonne.com. Thanks and good luck! Heidi I agree with everything mentioned.

The problem is that we are continually exposed, so the best protection is to avoid additional exposures. Two tips on how to do that: avoid vinyl plastic products (like the stinky vinyl shower curtain -- that smell is phthalates), and avoid synthetic fragrance containing products. That last tip is easier said than done -- many products contain synthetic fragrance - but it is best to choose products with natural scents or no added fragrance at all. best, Stacy To Baby Girl:

Misleading labeling tactics and the growth of companies posing as natural or organic is a real problem in the personal product industry. We need to be our own advocates for pure products and your site helps to spread the message. Thank you! Thank you for the information.
