natural skincare

cazrobinson

i use shampoo, soap, toothpaste, floss and sunfactor cream.

the only thing about using coconut oil (which i use after bathing only) is that it will make your skin burn in the sun! try your local health food shop and you can buy coconut oil in the food section (it's not as expensive as from the essential oils section) ; )

i use organic toothpaste, but can't get organic shampoo in family sizes.
use organic sunfactor 25 as a moisturizer as well as for protecting my youn ones skin.

soap in handmade with natural ingredients.

floss, i've never found any natural replacements.

if anyone can recommend one that would be great!

tried bronner's but it was just too harsh on my skin!

I've bought it in Superdrug in the past

Little Green Nursery do some really good stuff too.

I had very very dry cracked hands a while back and the cream I got worked perfectly to fix them.

Is 5 litres 'family sized' enough for you? Faith In Nature (https://www.faithinnature.co.uk) do organic shampoos in bulk bottles. Seaweed, chocolate and aloe vera varieties (not all in the same one!), if I recall correctly. They're on about page 3-ish of the hair care section. I love their aloe vera stuff! I particularly like that I can buy it in bulk, saving me money and wasting less packaging.

Faith in Nature use ammonium laureth sulphate in most of their products, which isn't really any better than sls.
