They look a lot more expensive, that's forsure.
That said, I'm using Kit Naturals, but it's not enough for me. My skin is still really dry.

I use a body butter for my face and hands I found here in Montana. It seems pretty good from the ingredients, and is sold all over Montana, as it is made here. It is very greasy! But only takes a little and rubs in well, too. I'd like to try Kit Naturals one of these days. It sounds nice.

Ruthrn, what are the ingredients... If it were me, and I really liked their products, I would first see if they were really made with natural ingredients or chemicals. I'm one who doesn't like aluminum deodorant, or fluoride toothpaste, though...

You know, there are more ingredients listed that aren't readable without looking them up, than I am comfortable with for myself.... But at least you aren't eating it....

Fair enough! Looks like I need to do some research :-)

I was a bit of a skincare snob, only EL and Clinique but as I became more aware of what was going on my body I've switched completely to It Works natural skincare. It's affordable and natural and even my teens/preteen love it. Pm me if you want more info as we are not allowed to post links.

I am a minimalist just for clarity I like the Kit Naturals, it talks a bit about them in the book ruthrn, unhappy baby so I can't find the page for you.

Keep in mind that whatever you put on your skin is absorbed within 26 seconds or less. A wonderful and possibly disgusting experiment I was required to do in college was to stick a clove of garlic between my toes and time how long it took me to taste it to prove this point.
Just a thought to keep in mind.
