Last weekend I spotted Alba's Un-petroleum jelly at Giant Eagle's Market District. This is great for those who may be allergic to petroleum products or those who are concerned about decreasing use of petroleum products for environmental and/or political reasons. You can check out the Un-petroleum here, if you are curious and want to learn more. After using it a few times this week, it seems to really moisturize. It looks like regular petroleum jelly, except it comes in a tube to squeeze out just what you need. It's maybe a little thicker.
This week, Herbal Essences announced it would begin to make over the recipes of its shampoos and conditioners in order to decrease the amount of 1,4-dioxane, a cancer-causing chemical. Current amounts are actually illegal in California. If you go here, there are two links to this week's press releases on the topic. Follow the links in the one article to get very handy product lists that are safe to use. Or use Skin Deep's online database. The link is in my favorite links list.
I noticed Rite Aid has organic cotton balls. WalMart has several shirts labeled as organic cotton at very reasonable prices. Check the clearance shelves for organic cotton sheets. Giant Eagle Market District has organic cotton kitchen towels. Look in the baby section for unscented, mild liquid castille soap at the Market District also.
