[Bath_and_Body] Re: natural and unnatural

> The term "natural", means different things to different people. What defines natural? Because it is derived from nature, because it goes thru a slight alteration after it is harvested from its natural state, or because it is not synthetically produced?

Very few lotions are made using a natural emulsification system, but the finished product is still called natural. Most of the natural products listed as natural are really not natural at all, but are made with naturally derived products, that is, products that may come from an herb, botanical, fruit, or nut.

Adding a synthetic fragrance, which is usually less than 1% of the total product, and as long as the consumer is aware of the synthetic fragrance, I still contend the naturally derived product is not unnatural because of a synthetic fragrance addition, but simply fragranced with a synthetic fragrance and should be labeled as such. The fragrance, or additional benefits that come from an essential oil, also less than 1% of the total product does not qualify the product as natural unless the other ingredients in the total formula are actually natural ingredients too; and usually the other ingredients are naturally derived, not in their natural state.

Sincerely,
Melanie

********** Yes, if the public was an educated one and everyone WERE honest, I would agree with this.
But, many customers don't know the difference and some vendors don't tell them either.
My Mom has a severe reaction to all of the fake scents out there as I'm sure do others too. She cannot afford to get fooled.
