Our 7 Favorite Natural Skin Care Ingredients (and why they're oh-so amazing)

So here's the scoop. I spend a lot of time talking about the stuff we're not supposed to slather on our skin.  And while it's important that you know what to look for and how to ditch the poison, you also need to know what some of the healthy alternatives are. Well lemme tell ya, these seven lifesavers are nothing short of phenomenal. We use these ingredients in so many of our products -  not just because they are safe, but because they work amazingly well! Here's what we love the most and why:

Coconut Oil- Superb moisturizer with anti-aging properties. Promotes cellular health and tissue repair. Anti-microbial with mild SPF.
