RADIATE<br />
BEAUTY<br />
from the Inside Out<br />
An indispensable guide for<br />
buying and using natural<br />
personal care products<br />
BY THE EDITORS OF BETTER NUTRITION<br />
T<br />
oo many beauty<br />
and personal<br />
care products<br />
are described as natural<br />
on the label when they<br />
are anything but. In fact,<br />
“natural” may mean nothing<br />
more than the addition of<br />
botanical extracts such as aloe<br />
vera or chamomile. Lurking behind<br />
this all-natural facade are chemicals<br />
like sodium lauryl sulfate (a harsh<br />
detergent and skin irritant) and<br />
propylene glycol (used in antifreeze).<br />
That doesn’t sound pretty, right?<br />
Fortunately, there are many wonderful—<br />
and incredibly effective—alternatives<br />
to both pseudo-natural and definitelynot-natural<br />
beauty products.<br />
Here are our 50 favorites. They’re<br />
all free of chemicals and irritants<br />
commonly used in conventional<br />
beauty products. That means you<br />
won’t see something like aluminum<br />
chlorohydrate in deodorant or<br />
parabens in shampoo. Instead,<br />
you’ll find advanced formulations<br />
that marry the best<br />
of nature and science.<br />
And because we believe that<br />
nutrients play a big role in hair,<br />
skin, and nail health, we’ve<br />
included our favorite beautyboosting<br />
supplements as well.<br />
