Burt’s Bees Peppermint Shower soap is 99.9% natural with the following ingredients; vegetable soap, glycerin, almond meal, rosemary oil, peppermint oil, rosemary leaves, peppermint leaves, comfrey leaves and calendula flowers. It is also NOT tested on animals. How much more natural can you get than that? I do recommend using it as it makes you feel very clean after you’ve showered and you know that you did your little part for our environment. Burt’s Bees products are in no-nonsense packaging and printed on recycled board containing 30% post-consumer waste.

Skin Deep Cosmetic Database is run by the Environmental Working Group, whose mission is to “use the power of information to protect human health and the environment”. They break down ingredients for levels of  toxicity, allergens, carcinogens, and more. This allows you to educate yourself on the products that you and your family use, and decide whether or not to continue using them.

They use a rating system of 0 to 10, with 0 being of least concern and 10 being the highest. This makes your research easy, and fast. Look up your favorite products to see how they rate…if they rate in the red, you should definitely consider buying a better brand for your body.
