Body Care • Current: Colgate, St. Ives • Better option: Dr. Bronner’s, Aubrey, Desert Essence • Why? • 89% of the ingredients in conventional body care products have never been tested for safety • Companies like Dr. Bronner’s, Aubrey, Acure, Desert Essence use certified organic ingredients • Other suggestions: Dr.Bronner's or Aubrey Shaving Cream, Aubrey Deodorant, Acure/Aubrey/Desert Essence Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Lotion, Natracare Tampons and Pads, Jason/DE Toothpaste
