NP!! I like apple cider vinegar for toner, too. and I buy white willow bark tablets from the health food store, open and put in my shampoo/face wash. it is an herb that is the active ingredient in advil and ibuprofen...they just add iin all these extra chemicals, so I just take WWB by itself and use it in cleanser, too. I never use anything with parabens in it. for women, parabens are especially bad for our hormones...they mess with them so much and are very dangerous for women. I learned a lot if this from reading the book "woman code"
Thank you so much Valeria!! I love being all natural, but I live in Brazil and struggle to find brands I know here so like you I make a lot of my own stuff. I've been making my own hair shampoo conditioner and treatments and face masks but I've never tried to make ny own face and body wash, how do you make yours?
Hey Paula, I was just reading my shampoo bottle (brand:kiss my face) and it has green really, hibiscus, chamomile, lavendar, green really, oats, and other all natural ingredients. no chemicals or anything. it may be a food choice for your hair since you want to stay all natural. on the EWG database, this beans is rates between 0-2 (the lowest) on chemicals, which is great. just an idea for your hair! I like all naturally too...I make my own face wash, scrubs, cleaners, etc. so we are in the same boat!
