The more chemicals you expose your body to, the more your immune system is kept busy trying to figure out what this alien is - thus your immune system is hampered - period. The closer you can get to nature, the better you will be; however, lotions are water-based and have to be preserved and there aren't many natural ways to do that and keep the integrity of the product. The article about lavender & tea tree oil is old and has been refuted over and over again - a very poorly done study and as usual a headlines grabber and away it went. Please email me and I will give you one of the best rebuttals on that one - annrn@neb.rr.com. Lots of good comments here, but lots of misunderstanding and misrepresentations.

Yes, some so-called natural products contain harmful stuff with a little more natural add to it. That's up to us to research adn look on the label all the time. I think your article is even a poorer example in trying to feed consumers that natural products are worse than chemical products. (unless you're certain allergic to some plants) To say what's been said: I think your site is run by politically big Corporation lawyers and advertisers. You did a good job of trying to scare people off of real natural goodies! How many times do we have to be falsely informed about products from those BIG companies? La Mer, same thing as nivea with couple different ingredients etc.. Anyway, to shift the fault from some dishonest companies (big or small) to naturals being bad is false advertising... if you want to use your money power to buy all traditional cosmetics, it's your choice. Man made or synthetic aren't exactly bad, but chemicals? Chemicals are worse. Why don't you do a "The Good Benefits About Paraben" ;) You certainly has your take on this.. but I don’t believe it.

The information they provide is not validated and poorly skewed to push their agenda of chemical fear-mongering. They are a political action committee run by lawyers, not scientists.
