Where do you find the most helpful information about natural products?

My grandmother’s lap and company information, ingredients lists, store cupboard.

The problem with so called ‘natural products’ is that they often are not natural at all. I have one motto when it comes to putting things on my body ‘If I won’t happily eat it, then I won’t ever put it on my skin’ When commercial ‘natural products’ live up to my standards, I will reconsider them.

In the mean time, the items that I have in my food cupboard are about the best I can do. Better for me, much better for the environment and better for people who are exploited in the production of commercial ‘natural products’. Tell a sweatshop worker in a developing country that natural organic cotton is good for his/her health, wealth, community and well being.

Natural store cupboard ingredients are not perfect, but they are the best I can do for myself, others and the natural world. They are the best and simplest solutions and cheapest too.

The Cinnamon, Vanilla and Pepper won Paris International Gold Medal awards back in the early days (1928), and since keeping pace with nature and environmental aspects, the natural products have been running out due to high customer demands.

A new award just granted from the National Products Association allowing the Natural Apothecary Line to carry the NPA Seal of compliance, due to products being made of at least 95% natural ingredients from renewable and sustainable resources.

I trust this company and know that they have wonderful ingredient listings, product detail and testimonials.

Growing up with the products and hearing the old tyme stories from the grandparents and other people, I know that these can’t be replaced or even remembered in today’s world, of hustle and bustle.

The most obvious way to find information about natural products is to look at the list of ingredients in a product. If there are words you cannot pronounce, most likely they are not natural. If there is any question about an ingredient, look its properties up on the Internet.

One of the catches you don’t want to fall into is reading a label that says “all natural” or 1% pure, etc., and taking it for granted that that is true. What they mean is that the natural part of the product is natural or 1% pure and natural. Similar to the meat ads that are labeled 1% pure beef. What they mean is that the beef in there is 1% pure, but there may be other ingredients in the product also.

I use your toothpaste and mouthwash, exclusively.

I have read every label. Now I am able to go to my fave products without thinking twice. I know what is in it, and that it is good to bring home to my family.

But, I also LOVE trying new things, especially beauty products. Always have. Now to answer your question, where i find the most useful information is on the package itself. The ingredients list. This is where the truth reveals itself.

What amazes me is that products claiming to be natural, usually are not all natural.

Ingredient lists are absolutely the first thing I look for in natural products. I go to these first to see what I recognize, what I don’t recognize I look up on the Internet or in books.

It’s always helpful when companies have detailed Web sites that break down the major ingredients in their products and give information on all aspects of the ingredients they use – how they are obtained and processed, what the reasons are why they choose that particular ingredient in their products.

Whenever possible, I buy products from those Web sites that do provide detailed information on their products. After all, if a company is proud of what they produce, they’re going to be looking for ways to get that information out to as many customers as possible.

natural this and green that. We are surrounded by the newest “catch phrases” of the day.

I’d have to say that on the internet would be the best thing cause you don’t get that much info from stores unless they have that product!!! and most stores just say that they are natural when they just are cheap and giving you less of that product. Also you could read the ingredient list’s on the back of the package.

I truly believe that asking friends and family, especially those who are health and environment conscious, is the best place to start research on information about natural products. The next step is to research the company website and then to do a search on individual ingredients in each product along with maybe looking into how they test the products and what type of facilities they use as well as the location of the facilities.

The label of the product has the most helpful information. I start with that. Next I would say either an editorial or a good advertisement. I go by word of mouth also. I might be in the grocery store and be near a certain product and if another shopper is there or the grocery store staff I might ask them if they have tried the product and liked it or does it sell good.
