Pennys, I by no means intended any slight or "slam" by my response. Additionally, I wasn't insinuating anything by the next paragraph of my response. I simply want to encourage people to truly think about that fact that what they apply to their skin is absorbed systemically into the body.
OK, so why did you say:
Again, I encourage you to read this information and really think about what is in the products you use, beyond a set of words you aren't familiar with or have difficulty pronouncing. Look up those components: see what they actually are.

perhaps that didn't mean to sound *****y, but it did. I expect better of women. I can read labels, I've been to college too!
But you know what, don't imply that you know better than me what is good for me or not.


you also wrote: [quote}
I myself really didn't think about this until my own system started reacting negatively to certain components. My intent was to share information, not insinuate that you are less informed or less of a "purist," or what have you. I regret that this paragraph did not come across in the fashion I intended.
You should regret it. People here are just trying to be helpful. I for one don't' care about some one else's politics, whether they eat organic or not, use pure prouducts or not, who they vote for or anything else. All I ask from people here is that is you aren't getting the answers you want... be nice about it. And I know I am not being terribly nice right now, I'm annoyed.

now, lets just shut the hell up and ride.
