Hi Ladies at curezone,
I just wanted to comment on the toxicities of makeup. As per Hulda Clark 's recommendation and research results, I have not worn any make up in over a year. While reading some of Hulda's case reports, it seemed that women would disobey her rules about eliminating beauty products, because it was too difficult for them to go cold turkey. Some women may be working in the public eye and their appearance is definitely an issue. Our appearance is important to all of us.
So, I have been searching for some all natural products that can be used to take the place of our old fancy shmancy toxic makeup and beauty prodcts:
Aromaleigh, at aromaleigh.com, is all dry minerals in many different colors, sheens, hues, and shimmers. There are no preservatives . You just add the oil (apricot,lavendar,jojoba..) you want to use right before you put it on your face. You make it fresh everytime. YOu can mix it up to make the perfect colors.
Castor oil on your eyelashes, keep your eyelashes dark. Put it on before bed and in the morning. They look longer to me.
Flax seed oil on your face before bed reduces reddness, scarring, and does not bother my acne. It may prevent wrinkles too. My face looks more one color and less blotchy. You'll notice a difference.
Burts Bees products uses all natural ingredients and citric acid as a preserve. They sell little tester kits so you can try it. I know that Clark said something about beeswax rarely being pure, but not all products have beeswax. Just watch out for fragrances...almond one is strong which is a lot of aldehydes. I got their tinted moisturizer and strawberry lip gloss and I only wear it when I go out.
Dr. Hauschka's line of skin care is expensive, but homeopathic. It teaches your skin to come back to its full health. Ingredients are all natural. I am getting a bronzer from this line.
ZIA is another line of skin care. It is expensive, but you can get it cheaper at vitamin shop. I have not tried it yet.
All the otyher products and hair stuff have methylparaben and other chemical preserves, so I did not consider them safe.
I think that's all I have for now. If anyone uses these or dislikes these products let me know. If anyone uses any haircare products that are OK by Hulda's standards, please post them. Thank you!!

I have cut way back on makeup after Dr. Clark's findings.
But when us girls have to look great, a liitle makeup goes a long way. Thanks for the tip on the fresh minerals page, I am very interested.
My hair was blah using the Borax solution. Finally, www.drclarkstore.com has a shampoo that is syncrometer tested and is great. The conditioner rinse is worked great too. It is still probably better to still mix your own with citric acid and water.
But the icing on the cake, or should I say coconut oil on the hair finally put it all together. My hair shine and bounce is back. I just put a small amount of coconut oil in in hair, not enough to look greasy. then when shampoo time comes, just shampoo with the Pure and Natural. I got the hair thing solved, and the skin mosturizer solved, but still needed that aromaleigh.com. Thanks for the insight.

This is a reply to # 612,763MS Lightning, are you using the Pure & Natural Shampoo AND the conditioner?
Yep, I'll be doing the coconut oil idea as well. I agree with ya on the borax for anything in the shower.
David Amrien has written in his recent newsletter that a few product lines were *fairly* safe. Weleda, Lamera (sp) and Dr. Hausschka. He did not say what aspects of their lines were safe, so emails wold have to be sent to him for questions.
They both can be seen here, but i would buy elsewhere if interested:
http://shop.saffronrouge.com/s.nl/c.ACCT116870/sc.7/.f;jsessionid=626f9a14d61...
Many celebrities supposedly using the Dr. H stuff.
You will usually find it locked behind glass cases at stores. Real expensive. High in essential oils.
I am trying SEVERAL Weleda products due to David's comments.
Although there product sizes are smaller than average, they seem to last/go further than others. My initial thoughts of the Weleda line is very positive, but we all know that it doesn't mean much unless we've got people out there syncrometer testing this stuff. Anyone?
Yes, I think the Pure & natural stuff is a GREAT bet. Mrs Lightning, is it cost effective? It is expensive on a per ounce basis similiar to Weleda stuff,,,but does it "go" a long ways for its small bottle ounce size?- Re: Gave up your makeup? gracey

This is a reply to # 612,765Hi Comeback Kid,
I personally have looked at WELEDA and found that it had chemicals and a very strong chemically fragrance. That's stress on the liver. One thing about weleda is a portion of the proceeds goes to cancer research, that's Western medicine Big shot "I'm a MD-PhD" research. It really won't benefit the poor and suffering.
There are shampoos by Burt's bees and all natural companies like; Giovanni, Kiss My Face, Nature's Gate, ABBA, Aveda, Rainforest.... Any of these would be way better than Weleda. I have not found anything totally perfect. There is always one word at the very end of the ingredient list with a methyl or para. But its not as bad as the salon types or drugstore brands. I am still researching...
I will try that one on Clark's list. Thanks Ms. Lightening!

This is a reply to # 612,766Hello,
I bought the both the Pure and Natural shampoo and conditioner. For future orders I am only buying the shampoo and making my one conditioner with citric acid to be more frugal. (Another word for cheap. Money saved is more money to spend on other goodies.)

This is a reply to # 612,769Mrs. L-
How do you make conditioner out of citric acid ? What does it do to the hair? Also, when you use coconut, isn't it solid? How do you put it in your hair?
Thanks,
Gracey

This is a reply to # 612,766
Interesting thoughts Lightning. But y then would David Amrien speak anythig at all positive about them?
I am not good at sorting through ingredients and we both agree that is essential.
On the chamomile shampoo for instance maybe you could spot some poor ingredients?
Oh, by methyl if figure you mean petroleum based? If so, Weleda has stated they don't touch/use anything petroleum as ingredients. Para would be?
Ingredients: Water, disodium,laureth sulfosuccinate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium laureth sulfate and lauryl glucoside, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) extract, coco-glucoside and glyceryl oleate, lecithin, ascorbic acid, potassium sorbate, natural frangrance from essential oils.
There is a "propyl" in there but I thought they discused their source in their website. Irrespective , don't think any propyl would be good..but not sure. Can you comment on the above ingredients? Thank god we have the food zappicator to knock out at least some of the offending ingredients. But in the end, you never know what the manufacturing plants that are producing the product bottles are using as equipment cleaners. Any of these products could have solvent residues on them. I'm willing to bet that our dog food products are some of the worse offenders.
Are you saying that you are going to try the Green People shamppo clark mentions from England?
What prefixes or suffixes within ingredient words are you looking to stay away from?- Re: Gave up your makeup? gracey

This is a reply to # 612,771Clark says to stay away from "Para" and "Methyl" in any form. Sodium Lauryl Sulfates are a known carcinogen. I guess people can justify that its from coconut oil or plant sources, but I still stay away from them. If it was that easy, Hulda would not have listed only one or two shampoos as safe.
That's just what I think. Happy shampooing!!

This is a reply to # 612,772That's a whole list of incredients! Well the coconut oil for conditioner is a new thing I've been using lately. I get about a teaspoon or so in my hand and rub it in my hair. I leave it in for as long as possible before bathing. Shampoo with the Pure and Natural that makes great suds comparing it to borax, and rinse out. I have also found that my hair actually loves to just be rinsed with warm water and nothing else sometimes, too.
The citric acid rinse doesn't have to be an exact science. A tablespoon to 3 cups water. pour in hair , leave in a couple of minutes. That's it.
I used to wear a whole bunch of makeup when I was younger and trying to look older. Now I am older and not wearing much makeup makes me look younger. But for those special ocassions, I still have a few tricks up my sleeves, as all us women should. Right ladies. I could never give up makeup completely. I am looking forward to the info Gracey shared.

This is a reply to # 612,773Thanks for the info Mrs.L.
I think its important because most woman will not be able to give makeup and beauty products up forever. Instead of returning to the same bad products, we should make better choices.
Everynight I watch my Mom rub smelly Chanel night cream all over her face that she thinks is great. I think it is so bad for her. My goal is to get her to switch. Hopefully Dr. Haushka's cream will be really good and will convince her change. I just have to find it on sale now.

This is a reply to # 612,781Thanks for the exercise book for the face muscles. I was planning on asking you about that.
Also, on mosturizing the nonscented mosturizer from Tropical Traditions is very good. I has a sweet smell of coconut and is pretty basic without the bad stuff. It would be easy to switch to this product. I still like making up my own from various ingredients.

You are quite the chemist when it comes to mixing mosturizers, a person should feel pleased to receive your special clean products.
On lipstick, a sliver of fresh beet brushed over your lips makes a nice rosey color for a few hours.

This is a reply to # 612,795Another fantastic moisturizer that I have used for many years....and I am O - L - D....but get numerous compliments weekly on my "wrinkle free" skin....is, Formula 405, made by Doak Pharmacals, NY. This product is truly sensational. Besides leaving your skin like silk, it firms and tones at the same time. Wear it under makek-up, and any time....Formula 405 has a full line, but the one specifically I use is in the black TUBE...NOT THE BOTTLE. It is the moisturizer cream in the tube...not the moisturizer lotion in the bottle. All their products are excellent, but I have an "older" skin....combination at that, so I really prefer the deep moisture. And it lasts, and lasts until you actually wash it off. How I use it: I wash my face with warm soapy water, rinse well with warm, final rinse with VERY cold water, barely pat dry....leave face rather wet, then use approx. an amount the size of a dime. Work it in well, down onto the throat. It is very water soluble so you will be tempted to use more because it almost feels as tho the water left on the face is diluting it down to nothing. NOT SO. Just rub it in well, and let it absorb. YOU WILL LOVE IT! rae

This is a reply to # 612,781hi
I'm new to this forum.
First of all thanks to all you people here who post wonderful therapies. I too believe in everything natural
I'm a 24 year old female.
I suffered through severe Depression and anxiety for about an year. But now i have dark circles and bags around my eyes. They look so bad and I'm so self conscious and feel so low all the time. Even i have started noticing fine lines around my mouth and forehead. This is driving me crazy. I always had a beautiful skin and fair and flawless complexion but now have brown spots and bags.
I want to get rid of these bags. Please help. I have read a lot about face exercises.
Are they safe or do they cause more wrinkles? What else can I do? Some diet changes ?
yoga or what?
Please Please help.
I shall be highly grateful
Love
Bless all
Swati

This is a reply to # 612,759just curious to know if you tested any of these and also that I've looked at Dr. Hauschka's but do not like the Titanium Dioxide in the mascara. Almost all mascara's I've looked at have it :( . Anyone find one that didn't?
thanks for the castor oil tip - I will try that in the meantime..
