A natural product is described as one that contains mostly or completely naturally derived ingredients (Antczak, 2001). It also indicates thatrepparttar product is free from, or contains minute amounts of artificial chemical additives. Caution is required when products claim to be natural. For instance, they may contain small amounts of plant extracts, butrepparttar 114823 bulk ofrepparttar 114824 product is petroleum based and loaded with fragrances. Instead, consider switching to completely natural products, which perform torepparttar 114825 same standard as their non-natural counterparts. The organic make-up co. offers a wide range of simple, affordable and high quality products.
