Are 100% organic, natural cosmetics really that safe???

They might claim they do not contain any "carcinogenic" sulphates, parabens, etc BUT how sure are we that the natural herbs/extracts themselves are not just as bad???

For example, i am looking at a hand cream which contains Yarrow. Yarrow, after prolonged use can increase the damage the sun does to your skin. It also contains a toxic element (although in tiny quanitities).

Are they really safer than chemical cosmetics?? And are chemical cosmetics REALLY that bad for us??

What would you recommend??

Thanks for your help and comments!!!

They are as long as you know there's nothing in them you might be allergic to. Try Bare Minerals. It's what it is, just minerals of natural coloring.
