The skin is the largest organ in the body. Any cream applied to the skin is 'ingested' into the body. For this reason, I prefer to use the most natural skin care products for treatment of minor conditions such as simple sunburns, dry skin and diaper rash.

Emerging research suggests that chemicals in standard sunscreens may increase the risk of cancer, and that some exposure to the sun is beneficial.

When shopping for skin products, I try to find basic simple ingredients-which is difficult to find.

When I made these topicals for myself, basic science for ingredients had to make sense. If they are safe to inject or if swallowed, would we need to call poison control or 911. If it is accidentally swallowed, is it toxic? No.
