    I used Clinique once years ago - maybe 12 years ago... I became all red and inflamed. The chemicals in Clinique - my g/f calls it Chemique...!

    For moisturiser couldn't fault Miessece, for body soap etc I'm happy with Natural Instinct. I use their facial cleanser as well.

    I buy the big litre bottle of Natural Instinct for the kids bathroom - it's really nice. (But I am hung up on "Love My Hair" for me)

    I also use Natural Instinct hand wash in the soap dispensers around the house.

    I buy my soap from The Natural Foodstore - I love Sandalwood so I get a really yummy one from there for the whole family.

    Do Natural Instinct make a soap bar Christy or is it the body wash that you use?

    Body wash for us & the pump hand soap for that. We use soap nuts for baths & clothes washing...

    I use MOPS (modern organic products) for hair my favourite.

    Oh you girls! I'm going to have to place some online orders now! LOL Let's see... I definitely need to try some MiEssence moisturiser... the last one I bought is nearly used up (Jurlique's Calendula Cream, also bought based on BB recommendations... it's good, not too heavy, not greasy, absorbs quickly and works well with my foundation... I might go back to it again someday). And I need some more MooGoo shampoo. The thing I like about those brands is that their websites and delivery is FANTASTIC... both companies ship very quickly! With 3 kids I rarely have the luxury of browsing the comestics counter anymore... though one good thing about being my age I've tried sooooo many products now that I have largely sorted the cream from the crap! And I don't subscribe to advertising anymore! Interesting how the best brands don't seem to need much advertising.

    Me too! But after reading the bottle I was a little disappointed that it's not really very organic, has some of the same stuff as other shampoos (SLS, etc) just not as much. But it is very light and yummy!

    Tobyturtle, why the dermalogica bias? Am thinking of getting their scrub but not sure if it's worth the $$...

    To the ladies who use A'kin and Alchemy, what are your favourite products? Do they have a good, light moisturiser?

    CHeck with the manufacturer but if it is a "natural" product - often the SLS is coconut derived or naturally derived which is better than the man-made ones
