Natural Beauty
The word cosmetic comes from the Greek word kosmos , meaning "order in the universe." The wise use of natural
cosmetics can help us reflect the beauty of nature, enhancing our health from the outside and providing us with a
pleasurable experience while using them. Plants transform the nutrients of the earth, making them more bioavailable to
our bodies. What we put on our bodies makes a difference. Even medical doctors recognize the transdermal delivery
system of the skin when they prescribe a patch of estrogen, nicotine or heart medicine to be worn on the skin as a means
of delivering that substance to the bloodstream. The face is especially permeable. Plants such as aloe vera and calendula
soothe the skin and benefit both from the outside and into the deeper layers of the body.
For thousands of years, millions of people have relied on the bounty of plant preparations to cleanse and nourish the
skin, hair and nails. Their benefits are legion. When we use pure botanicals, there is no need to test them on animals.
Plants come with their own natural fragrances and colors. The chamomile or rosemary that nourishes our hair also
provides nectar for the bees and oxygen for our planet. Cosmetics that are truly made in harmony with nature enhance
rather than pollute the environment. Would you rather have an acre of lavender or a large chemical company in your
neighborhood?
