What are the Best Natural products you've found that make a difference?

What are the best products that are totally natural, even the preservatives that make a difference? I am allergic to Phenoxyethanol + all things like this, D. Urea, Alcohols, Formaldehyde + like ingredients to this.

Is there actually a face product with peptides + good anti-aging ingredients that make a difference in skin? I'm always looking for something new that I can use.

Any type of makeup would be appreciated, too.

I hope you get some replies from the very smart Ladies out there that know their stuff. I know KatCat loves Acure which is organic and reasonably priced. Good luck with your search!

I have started using Acure products. You can buy them on line at Acure.com and they are also sold at Whole Foods. They are completely organic. I am really liking the night cream (use it every other night when I am not using RetinA), the eye cream and the facial cleanser. So far I like them a lot, and learned about the line hear on the boards. Go to the web site and see if the ingredients fit the bill for you.

Acure is a good one to check out. I have heard some good reviews on Suzzanne Somers line that is on Shophq. I haven't used either of these but I have read good reviews on them.

Another vote for Acure, I get it at my local Co-op. The night and day creams are very nice. I also love the body lotions, body washes, shampoo/conditioners. I didn't use day or night cream long enough to see if I saw any anti-aging benefits.

Another line you could check out is Paula's Choice EarthSourced products. I think these fit your criteria and although I haven't tried these yet, I use some of her other anti-aging products and I'm really impressed with the results of her other products. You can get these on the Paula Choice web site or at beauty.com or dermstore.com. HTH

I appreciate all of your nice responses. I haven't gotten a chance to get back on here for awhile.

I like Heather Lorraine 100% pure jojoba oil. I can use it as a cleanser, moisturizer, pre-shampoo treatment, body lotion. It's inexpensive and it works well for me when I want no fuss products.

I have been using Suzanne Somers face serum for quite awhile & really like it-also like her eye cream-

I like Acure, but like Jeffrey James even better. All natural and organic. I don't know who carries them, but I've been lucky enough to find the serum, eye gel and moisturizer at T.J. Maxx. I found them all on different trips, but the employee said they get them in fairly often.

I recently ordered a Skinnaturals kit from Skinn Cosmetics but have not tried it yet. Does anyone else use their products? I'm in search of a natural skin care line as well. Goofymom 50, thanks for this post!

I'm on my second bottle of the cleanser. Both times I have found it on Hautelook for under $5.00. I like it a lot.

Oh, and the best all natural product for me has been Rosehip seed oil and Heritage Store's Rosewater & glycerin mist.

I've been using cocoanut oil for many things. Sounds odd but it is really good for rashes. I sometimes use it before my face cleanser to remove makeup, on my feet, elbows and cuticles. I have also switched to cornstarch for my setting powder. They aren't brands but are natural.

I am getting into a lot of Korean products because they are made with flowers, roots, and food ingredients. Even some of the sunscreens are aloe or tomato plus many others.

I really enjoy using natural oils from the NOW brand, which are sold at many health food stores or online. I use sweet almond oil as a body moisturizer, jojoba oil for face, body, hands, cuticles or even hair, avocado oil for hair, rosehip oil for face, and argan oil for face or hair. Burts Bees products are also very good, although I don't care for their shampoos and conditioners. I am searching for a good organic line of makeup products. So far I am testing Physicians Formula. The jury is still out.

You might consider Lavera for makeup.

I use Lumene for some skincare and Yes To for some makeup along with Lavera.

My skin has been so happy using primarily aloe vera gel (w/ drops of rose hip seed and other oils) as my moisturizer. Reportedly loaded with vitamins, minerals and polysaccharides. Hydration = no lines, sagging & wrinkles. If that's not anti-aging, I don't know what is.

It's certainly nothing fancy, but it's just been fabulous for me in so many ways. One of those ways is that, given its viscosity (along with the oil), it has encouraged facial stimulation/lymphatic drainage, which also has been an added benefit.

Also, a simple wash of superfine sugar & water is my perfect morning cleanser.

Can't suggest anything in the makeup department. I just use color cosmetics and Victoria Principal Reclaim powder.
