Ecco Bella Botanicals Lipstick-  Ecco Bella foundation.  I like it very much.  The handy pump bottle is a nice feature.  The blush is a little harder than most to get on.  You can do it once you get used to it.  Seems to be pretty concentrated color and you must apply it very softly and lightly.  Otherwise you will have stripes of color.  Not such a good look on a pale face.  The lipstick I liked very much.

LAVERA

Lavera- Basic Sensitive Cleansing Gel with lemon balm & mallow extract and Basic Sensitive Cream- Moisturizing Formula with Jojoba oil and aloe vera.

Trend  sensitiv makeup No. 1 with Jojoba and aloe.

I have tried the foundation, lip and eye pencils.  Cleansing gel and basic cream. I like all of the them.  I think I like this line the best.  Some of the products do contain a scent.   I could not tolerate the scent of the face powder it was a little much for me.

Paul Penders 

 I like the Paul Penders but NOT as much. I found the foundation to be a little on the watery side.  I also had problems with the containers that the makeup comes in.  The foundation is hard to handle and to runny.  The Mascara was more like an oil and not much color- mine and it was black.  The eye shadow came in a little round container with a cardboard shaker lid.  The lid does not work well, it filters way to much product.  Waste and mess were a problem for me.  I put the products into better containers I had and that was an improvement.  But still on the foundation...too runny for my taste...okay so I shouldn't eat it hahaha!

Shivani Ayurvedic Lip Color With essential oils- 

Nice lipstick but left a strange taste on my lips...YUCK.  But loved the color.

Now, the ultimate in lip care! - lip colors that really are all natural!!

Shivani Lip Colors contain pure, all natural, nourishing ingredients, conditioning plant oils and are pure botanical formulations. All with vitamin E to combat free radical damage.   They contain natural nourishing ingredients based on ancient Ayurvedic wisdom to enhance your health and beauty.

Shivani Lip Colors contain pigments only from natural sources, unlike most lipsticks today, which contain artificial FD&C colors, the majority of which come from coal tar, a petroleum product and suspected carcinogen. Our commitment to quality ensures that our pigments come only from natural sources, even though these cost many times more than artificial FD&C colors.

Shivani Lip Colors are not drying, do not smudge and are long lasting.   Devi Inc. Lancaster, MA 01523  1-800-237-8221  Visit Shivani.com

Northern Lite Scentsations
Our Cold processed soaps are made with all natural ingredients.

We developed a recipe which we have stayed with for all our bars because of it's thick, rich lather and it's ability to rinse clean from the skin, leaving your skin feeling moisturized. Our soap recipe includes the following ingredients: Rain water, sodium hydroxide, vegetable oil, olive oil, coconut oil, essential and/or nature-identical oil, herbs, botanicals & natural earth colorants

I really enjoyed the Gardener's Friend and Cocoa Butter Soap. Also one other green one that is scented with essential oils.  It is very nice.  These are all very nice soaps that lather very nicely.  My hands felt very nice afterward. Very pleasant to use.   Thanks Denise for your lovely soaps.

Sungold Soaps and Products                                    We only make unscented, fragrance-free soap. All of our fragrance-free soaps are are literally pure soaps with nothing else added. All the soap products are simply saponified vegetable oils.  We have tried the liquid soap and the unscented bar soap.  We liked them both very much.  We experienced absolutely no problems.  Sometimes unscented soaps have a weird smell that bothers even the chemically sensitive.  We didn't experiece that whatsoever.  The bar soap stays a little soft/gooey so you may want to have a soap dish that drains or has a metal/wire insert.        Thanks for sending us the great samples to evaluate.

Mint Conditioner

About Mint Conditioner
Organic Excellence Chemical Free Mint Conditioner does not coat individual hair nor does it create a greasy feel or flat look. Our Conditioner benefits every type of hair from dry to oily because its natural ingredients moisturize and treat the scalp, not coat the hair!

Organic Excellence Chemical Free Mint Conditioner helps build healthier hair two ways. First, it nourishes hair and scalp with essential vitamins and minerals, and moisturizers that add luster and manageability without a dulling film. Second, while other conditioners actually seek to create a negative charge on the scalp and hair so that the individual hairs cling together, Mint Conditioner is pH neutral and will never cause damaging build-up on hair or scalp. All types of hair will benefit from the wholesome, natural ingredients.

Non Tolerable

Fruit of her hands- I was sent a sample of soap and could not tolerate it.  The ingredient list looked good but the light scent I could not tolerate.

Simple Shampoo and Conditioner by Simple Products. Could not tolerate.

Zia Natural Face Powder - Our Natural Foundations and Powders use mineral-derived colors for soft, even tone without using chemical dyes  All the elements of what they were doing sounded good.  The smell of this product was a definite NO GO for me!  -  http://www.zianatural.com/   I obtained them at Whole Foods   Zia Natural Face Powder - 

The product line look good as far as the ingredients.  But this face powder had a very strange smell that I cannot tolerate.   I don't even know how to describe.  It is not something I can tolerate at all.  Nor if I were well, would it be a smell I wanted to use either way.  

Farm Esthetics- Fine Herbal Skincare.  This line was very difficult to add here to the non tolerables.  I wanted very much to say I could tolerate these products but I could not.  The product line is made with very good ingredients that are organically grown.  I really liked the simple yet elegant packaging.  I especially liked that lots of the products were packaged in glass or in stainless containers.  I could not tolerate most of the line because they use allot of Levendar, Jasemin and Sage.  If you can tolerate these items then I would look into this line of beauty-care. www.farmesthetics.com

Leaf Print-  03-0399  Leaf Print at Gaiam.com  No pic avail at this time.  Could not tolerate the smell.

I could NOT tolerate Coyuchi Sheets, Duvet cover or pillow cases. See Coyuchi.com  I have been told that allot of sensitive individuals have done well with this brand however.
