1. Read the list of ingredients before you buy. (Be aware many online skin care sellers do not list ALL ingredients, only the healthy sounding ones - sometimes not even these) If you don't understand a chemical sounding name it probably is a chemical. Check it out or choose another product.
2. Use only 100% botanical skin care products. 100% is your key to determining the integrity and safety of botanical skincare products and their ingredients.
