Quick Note About Glycerin and Extracts:

Look at how many times Glycerin and Extracts are listed in each product – products you use daily

Glycerin is often in the top 5 ingredients of the majority of natural, organic and synthetic personal care products.

•Glycerin – A By-Product of soap making – companies use this because it is cost effective and an emolient – not nutritious

•Extracts – most are alcohol and glycerin based and only 10-20% of the raw herb itself – again cost effective but not nutritious
