We’ve all begun to eat better. There is a natural or organic food section in nearly every supermarket. Gone are the fatty food recipes our moms and grandmothers served for dinner. What many don’t realize, however, is that what we put on our bodies is just as important as what we put in our bodies.  (+)

      Call it feeding our skin. Do you know what our skin has been eating? Government regulations allow for almost anything to be used in personal care products, meaning that the smooth cream you are rubbing on your skin or the balm you are wetting your lips with may contain such toxins as lead, dioxane or parabens, but could just as easily contain sea monkeys. Many of these products contain artificial and synthetic ingredients which the body has a difficult time eliminating. There are also no testing requirements for personal care products, resulting in misleading non-toxic labeling. Natural products are not simply products that mandate natural ingredients; they are products that purposefully avoid harmful ones.
      Abe’s Market only features personal care products that meet the Natural Standard for Personal Care Products, ensuring that every product we sell adheres to a policy of no animal testing, 95% natural ingredients, full disclosure of ingredients, environmentally conscious packaging and no toxins. Your body is all natural (assuming you are not a Hollywood actress) - why would you put dyes, chemicals, carcinogens, and possible seamonkeys in your bloodstream, when your skin could ingest nature instead and feel better for it?  (-)
