Tasty Skin Care Products

Since your body absorbs anything you place on your skin pores, shouldn't all your cosmetics and skin care products be edible? This is the thought behind "NOe Cosmetics", a new line of skincare products comprised entirely of organic, food-grade ingredients.

The average American uses between ten and 45 pounds of soaps, toiletries and cosmetics per year. That adds up to a lot of exposure to chemical additives.

As more consumers begin to question the wisdom of coating our bodies in that stuff, manufacturers are responding with alternatives. For example, parabens are preservatives used in shampoo and cosmetics. They have long been suspected of permeating the skin and entering the bloodstream, potentially contributing to serious illness. So a growing number of concerned shoppers are looking for alternatives like natural hair or skin care products that don't contain questionable ingredients.

Noe Cosmetics scientific team spent about two years sourcing organic active ingredients
- all of which, the company says, are USDA-certified organic.
