still after chemical free coconut products

had to go and get some goodies for hubby's family christmas dinner on 23/12/09. i looked in the grocery shop and they have a small range of chemical free products - that stunned me.

then went into the chemist to see what they stocked, if at all. it was a small chemist so i wasn't expecting them to stock anything without chemicals but they also had two ranges of chemical free products. only thing was they didn't have any product brochures about their ranges. this i found disappointing as every other chemist has had brochures about their special products. also means that the grocery companies have to get brochures for their products if they expect to keep up with other products such as our products, chemist ranges and other companies that are chemical, toxic free.

this is still all as a result of looking for the coconut range. still having problems finding them - web site didn't help me find another seller. may wait until the new year and contact them to see if i can buy on line or they can definitely tell me where it is stocked.

non toxic product search is still continuing

friday night was a night out to see friends for christmas. we had to take dessert - my job was to do the shopping and that meant going down some of the isles to find things/get things for home and dinner.

you know i have been after this coconut skin range so i went into the chemist there at the shopping centre and looked at their skin range. only one had non toxic chemicals in it. up to 6 non toxic ranges in two chemists that i have found on my research for the coconut skin range.

did my shopping and you know what i found there, some of the christmas packs they have made up are non toxic. that one stunned me - a big named shopping centre having some skin care products that are not toxic and wrapped up for presents for those who have problems with chemicals.

you do need to remember neways has non toxic products - yes there are chemicals but that is to help shelf life, make the product work. go to www.providingchoices.com.au, guest password - choices and leave your questions/thoughts about the products to me so i can deal with them and get back to you.

still on the hunt for the range so it means now contacting the queensland distributor as it wasn't in the said chemist shop that it was meant to be in under their stockists. hopefully i will get there and get a change to look at the range.

chemicals in products

i am one who loves to read the daily paper. i found this beautiful coconut skin range in the sunday mail 15 november 2009. i looked it up on the web site and on 7/12/09 we were at a shopping centre that is supposed to stock the range so i had a wee look for it.

well it couldn't be found in the chemist and the staff hadn't heard of it. the interesting thing that i found while i was looking for it was that there was a brochure put out by the chemist (name to remain annonymous) introducing natural beauty. in this brochure it listed some of the harmful chemicals in products. these include sodium lauryl sulfate, petro chemicals, paraben, phthalate and animal testing. well during my search i couldn't locate the coconut range and found brochures on products that were not containing the mentioned chemicals. out of the skin care range, the chemist has now picked up 4 ranges that don't have these chemicals.

i know 4 seems small and it is but you have to remember the rest of the skin care ranges at the said chemist contain these chemicals and probably many more harmful ones and could be tested on animals.

neways skin care range does not contain any of these chemicals and are not tested on animals. they contain basic things such as water, essential oils and some chemicals to help their shelf life.

i never found the coconut range so it is back to the internet to do another search. also found some other coconut products at some other shops. i recall i may have one of them already. i wanted to look at the coconut range and see what it included, chemicals/items in it that make it and if it was animal tested. also the smell of coconut reminds of of pina colada which is perfect for the summer heat we are having now.
