Hi you guys!

I hear ya-- Two companies I found make really good- non chemical and non paraben body and cosmetic products.

Burt's Bees (i checked their ingredients) and Aubrey Organics.

Aubrey is my favorite. The only perservatives they use is Grapefuit Seed Extract. They use no foaming agents or sulfites- You could probably eat their products if there were a famine-- and they would be good food substitutes.

I use their shampoos, cleansers, and conditioners (they have a type for every hair texture - (I love thier GPB shampoo and condtioner)

Russ, they even have a hair gel that is all natural- I got it, it has NO chemical or modified ingredient whatsoever- and they use all organic herbs, etc.

They also have a great Seeweed skin toner.
For my skin lotion, I now use Coconut Oil. There is this brand they sell at the International section at Wegmans' called "Parachute" and the coconut oil is all natural- no additives. I love how it feels on my face and body-and though I get blemishes, this doesnt make them worse, nor does it contribute any acne. It only costs $1.79 a bottle ! (comes in a blue plastic 4 oz bottle)

Otherwise, I use olive oil which is another awesome skin moisturizer.

The cosmetics I use now is from Burt's Bees. I use their Ethnic face powder for the eyeshadow because it is for African American skin, and I have fair skin- so it shows up as a nice natural eye shadow or contour powder on me (minus the toxins)
