The Natural Shop

Since scientists now suggest that up to 60% of what we apply to our skin can be absorbed into our bodies, there is increasing concern that the use of synthetically produced chemicals in individual care products could pose a threat to our health. However, a growing number of pseudo-natural and organic products often contain harmful chemicals alongside 'natural' and 'organic' ingredients. An absence of official regulations then makes it very difficult to distinguish between legitimate natural products and conventional high street ones - unless compositions are scrutinized in an informed way.
