The raw food diet doesn't seem to work for you? The challenge, I'll suggest, is not with raw foods, but with the digestive system. It must be properly prepared to welcome raw foods, especially if you are striving towards 100% raw.

Bloating, intestinal pain and gas rank high on the list of problems for people aspiring to go raw. Here's why.

Clearing out your pores lets the moisturizer to penetrate for maximum effectiveness.

Gentle Facial Cleanser

A natural clean for a natural beauty.

Tips on finding a good cleanser...
1. pick a gel or cream cleanser-less tendency to dry out your skin
2. look for a cleanser that will moisturize, in addition to cleansing your skin
3. choose a purpose designed skin cleanser - not a makeup remover.

A good skin cleanser removes some oil-but not all of it. Makeup removers are oil-based, so if you're using those, you'll actually be adding oil.

Bottom line: You want a product that does the job, yet as gentle as possible. You may well find your ideal cleanser in my product line.
