Hey it's for applying or eating "just kidding". Well surely wanna try this new product.

anti aging facial care

Whole Foods is truly the best ! trust me i have worked in the skin care industry for well over 20 years , eat well unprocessed and use natural skin care , people will think you are still in the 30th while being 50

Hack again?!

The truth is that there is no regulation on ANY cosmetic labeling organic or otherwise. Products found in drug stores dept. stores etc... are loaded with pore clogging garbage and irritants yet are labeled non comedogenic, dermatologist tested and hypoallergenic. The FDA only researches complaints against the companies. Whole Foods does have a team that researches ingredients in the products. I am a Master Esthetician and recommend many of the products available there. They are much better than anything offered to the public at this time. If you would like to research ingredients yourself, Google non-comedogenic ingredients list or comedogenicity scales. You will find many sights that rate how irritating and pore clogging an ingredient is. Stay away from alcohol even if your skin is oily!

good reading...thanx Charlie

thanx...this working group sounds cool....does anyone know more details?

Organic products have no regulations in beauty products. There are some companies, I think aubrey and Origins, that have gone through the official process of approval (of a food product) for getting the label organic. This is a very costly and difficult process. There is a working group of natural skin care and cosmetics companies that has proposed new regulations and procedures for getting an organics labeling, but until then, it's the wild west out there. --NG

I was also uncertain about buying from whole foods but then I went out and bought something call organic apoteke which i have been real impressed with. they are certified organic and i could not believe and had to double......no triple check all products alcohol free. i have real sensitive skin to alcohol.great moisturiser ....they have some funky names but but i love the cleanser...my skin has never felt this good. anyway worth sampling out next time you there. In fact does anyone know more about this organics stuff ?...i am researching more into it. but so far so good
