Non-Poison Potions: Chemical Free Toiletries for Your Bathroom

It's been waaaay too long since my last post. I was moving house and then there was the settling in after that and then....well I got lazy. A bunch of inexcusable excuses, but nevertheless, here I am again. As a continuation from my previous post Beauty & The Chemical Beasts, I started the hunt for chemical free personal care products few years ago upon discovering the article from www.care2.com that the synthetics used in manufacturing toiletries could have well been the cause of my skin allergy (diagnosed by my doctor as chronic urticaria). Let me tell you, it wasn't easy! Personal care products made using natural products are very, very limited in Malaysia not to mention costly, usually available in health shops (but I'd like to think the market for it is growing with more and more people getting more aware). 
 
I go by these rules of thumb when I decide whether or not to buy a product.
