Organic beauty products. Who would have thought about it twenty, even ten years ago? Beauty products were beauty products and that was it. Sure there was some talk about all the “bad” things used in the literally hundreds of thousands of beauty to line the market shelves, but only the very hardcore enthusiasts of these things took much notice of these claims.
Everyone else stuck with their normal beauty routines, the consequences of using potentially harmful chemicals and the like on a daily basis, negligible in the face of looking like a hag to put it mildly. With the turn of the millennium however the tides have changed and the theme now most widely utilized is that of “natural”. Anything and everything natural is in, and this includes organic beauty products.
People are taking a keener interest in their health, what they put into their bellies, and what they put on their bodies. This means many people are turning towards more natural in just about every aspect of their lives, and in a regulated market such as the organic food market, this is all fine and good. But what happens when the mega-million dollar beauty products industry decides to go organic?
Mass consumer frenzy to go all natural, and get the latest in organic beauty products to hit the shelves. The problem here is not that there are organic beauty products, but that there isn’t a regulatory body to oversee what exactly “organic” constitutes when it comes to organic beauty products.
This isn’t to say that all beauty products labeled “organic” are fraudulent, only that some of these products don’t necessarily have more than a small fraction of dubiously labeled organic products, and yet these products too can take advantage of the entire health craze and call their products, organic beauty products. This is consumer deception at its worst, but there’s nothing that can be done about it at the moment.
With organic beauty products selling like hotcakes, it won’t be too long before someone calls a halt to this free-for-all in indiscriminate labeling. But until then it behooves us, the consumer to be wary of what exactly it is that we’re shelling out extra money for, because without a doubt we are paying more for products which are labeled as organic.
And while this is alright if the organic beauty products we buy are genuine, there really is no point in spending our hard earned cash on the same product we bought ten years ago without the organic labeling!
The key here is to be aware of what we’re buying and where we can likely go wrong. In the end however, when push comes to shove and the organics part of organic beauty products really does live up to its name, there will be no stopping the masses from buying something that is not only good for them but that also makes them look good.

i saw govinda this past weekend. he was amazing.
one of my favorites
or…. I say the same every time I listen one of Govinda’s song
and your right Goutamy… they are really unique..
I got all Govinda albums, each one is awesome, this music inspiring me all the time. Its realy magic… Very strange that Shane O Madden is not very popular. Maybe reason is that his musiс is realy unique.
you probably need to find a place to rent where you can sell the products, you will need to check with the city's licensing dept for any license you will need, you will need to get your state sales tax number, if you plan to have employees, you will need a Federal and state ID # to report wage and pay the withheld taxes, quarterly
if you go to http://www.irs.gov. request Publication 34 for more information about your business income and expenses for tax purposes
See http://www.organicconsumers.org
You see because the national organics program is regulated by the USDA and all beauty care products are regulated by the FDA there is no organic standard for beauty products as there is for food and fiber. This means anyone can put the word organic on any cosmetic or soap even though the ingredients will not have a single certified organic ingredient and there will be some dangerous things like parabens. I notice the Body Shop is very bad about this.
Go to the organic consumers website to learn more and how you can help to close this loophole and make organic cosmetics really organic
Nothing quite touches my soul like Govinda’s music. I use it to meditate and move. It both mentally and physically moves me. And because of this I can not understand why more people do not know about them?
Here's a site with a directory of 11 "organic cosmetics" party plan companies:

well the whole reason for anything organic is that its not unhealthy 4 ur bod. in regular makeup and stuff of that sort has all these man made chemicals that just puts poisons in ur body. just think of it like this if u wudnt put it in ur mouth dont put it on ur face or hair or ur skin or watever.organic stuff is so much better more expensive but better. also u shud read a book called natural cures they dont want u to know about by kevin tredeau

Burt's Bees products are a godsend, and they're rather inexpensive.
Thanks so much!!!
You can become an IBO and distribute Nutrilite organic vitamins and Artistry Natural Beauty products. The fee for being a distributor is $150 which gives you the whole sale price for these products for life. They have warehouses in California and Texas so you might be able to pick them up at the warehouse or you can just order them online. Let me know if you want to be an IBO and get the whole sale price for these products. Go to my profile to email me. Hope all is well and I wish the best of luck on your business venture.
I absolutely love Shane O Madden. I was introduced to his music by my father in India and there is no surrogate for Govinda. Simply mind-blowing stuff!! I bought his new album, and should probably upload some of the songs..!
Very Cool
If you go to nordstrom.com they have a section in thier make-up department devoted to organic and green products.
