Alba Organic Hawaiian Beauty Products
by on 02. 7.05
Alba skin and sun care and spa treatment products are made with refreshing all-natural ingredients from Hawai’i. Using tropical fruit and flower extracts, like pineapple, hibiscus, and jasmine; nourishing nut oils like kukui; and certified organic aloe vera, these creamy, curative blends are the perfect thing for rejuvenated, luminous skin—and they sound good enough to eat. Made with mostly organic ingredients and following the Vegetarian Ethic. ::Alba [by MO]
the increase of yummy natural body products on the market is heartening. with no intentions of belittling these excellent steps toward green, i'd like to bring up the use of parabens, a common preservative. studies (URLs to info. below) indicate that parabens can disrupt hormone activity when absorbed through the skin and cautions use pending further research. yet it's still difficult to find paraben-free products even by greener companies.
