Beauty Product List

I really didn't mean for my posts on chemical-free to take up 2 weeks of blogging, but I've been pleasantly surprised/overwhelmed at the response & questions, which create more posts.  I'm extremely touched by the friends & family who are willing to make changes to their beauty regimen or house in order to accommodate me (as well as their own health, of course).  It's so heartening!  The last question was about which products I use -- as opposed to re-doing research I totally believe in sharing!

Keep in mind that research for my products went one step beyond fragrance free to include gluten free as well.  To make it into my house, a product must meet 3 criteria:

1. Rated green by the EWG.  
2. Fragrance-free.  
3. Gluten-free.  There are a lot of acceptable products out there that aren't gluten-free, so that precludes them for use on my skin.  

The final criteria for me is availability of the product -- I don't want to order tons of products online and end up not liking them so almost everything I've purchased at CVS or Target.  The company DHC allows for samples so I can try out a product before I purchase and now that I know what I like, I order online to avoid the chemical exposure (especially from stores like Ulta and Sephora)

Unless otherwise noted I get at CVS - some are also available at Target.
