This a topic I have had always wanted to cover & discuss on for a very long time. Just didn't have enough time or the creativity to do so, but now I'm given the opportunity to do so. For Starters: Water is a Chemical... Our human bodies are compromised of chemical elements. Poison Ivy is "natural" doesn't mean it belongs on our faces. There is no such thing as "chemical-free" skincare. If anyone says there is it's a completely false claim to be made & entirely just untrue. Now moving forward... I personally believe that both botanical & synthetic work phenomenal in unision. Together they can be a powerhouse in an ingredient list and nothing wrong with those either. I feel there's so much fearmongering when it comes to synthetic ingredients when in actuality there are studies that have proven to show that they have less adverse reactions & sensitivity as opposed to natural ingredients. Not to say, it can't happen either...
