Marin County craves for Omega 5 oil treats, shouldn't you...
Is what we put on our bodies as important as what we put in them? Mounting research does suggest that seemingly benign chemicals in lotions, lipsticks and shampoos could have harmful, even serious effects on health. Here are some local companies, chosen by Judi Shils of Search for the Cause, that sell safer cosmetics and creams.
As a nutritional healing practitioner, Tzeira Sofer knows the benefits of fresh fruits and natural products. After working with skin care experts in Israel, Sofer started the lines t’Zerah and Pomega5 in downtown San Anselmo. After only a few years, the products became available at Whole Foods, Mollie Stone’s and, if you were lucky enough to be ranked as a celebrity, the gift bags at the 2007 Golden Globe awards.

Graphic Designer Lisa Levin founded Pharmacopia after being diagnosed with the chronic pain condition fibromyalgia. Levin researched natural products to help relieve her symptoms and as a result Pharmacopia was born. The company is now a million-dollar business, offering such products as ginger hand cream, sold at Nancy Koltes and Evo Spa. For a juice-based formula (rather than water based, as most beauty/body care products are), choose Juice Beauty, sold at Sephora and Whole Foods. The Marin-based organic skin-care line uses ingredients like honey, raw cane sugar and ylang ylang from Madagascar.
EO founders Susan and Brad Black started making products with sustainable and organic essential oils in their garage in 1992 and now fill a 15,000-square-foot operation space in Corte Madera.
EO neighbor Stellar Spa is tweaking its five-year-old product line, started by owner Dana Vande Weg, to be mineral based and paraben-free.

Great Soaps use higher quality ingredients and certain additives to delivergentle but thorough cleansing, abundant lather and fragrance, a luxurious feel,and beneficial skin properties.
FragranceThe quality and complexity of the fragrance oils (a great fragrance may have 300 individual elements), the amount of oil used in each soap, and the compatibility of the oils with the soap base (Great Soaps undergo extensive testing for this) all impact how a soap smells.
Soap BaseSoaps use tallow oils (derived from animals) or vegetable oils as their primary base. Great Soaps use pure vegetable oils (such as Palm and Palm Kernal oils) for their exceptional cleansing characteristics, luxurious lather, and mildness. Glycerin is often added to Great Soaps for its natural moisturizing qualities. And vegetable bases are completely biodegradable. Many mass soaps use tallow as a base, producing bars that are harsher on skin (that squeeky clean feel often means that the outer layers of moisture have been stripped away!) and harder to lather and rinse.
AdditivesA Great Soap uses additives to do more than cleanse. Look for some of the following additives:
Exfoliating Additives scrape away dead skin cells and expose healthy skin. These additives include bran (wheat, rice), oatmeal, peel (orange, lemon), nut powder (avocado, walnut), seed powder (apricot, peach), glycolic acid, fruit acids, beads, pumice.
Moisturizing Additives increase a Soap's care characteristics. Be careful of claims here. Since Soap remains on the skin for a brief time in a high water environment there is limited opportunity for these ingredients to have the same impact as they would in a lotion. These additives include butter (shea, cocoa, avocado), nut oils (apricot kernel, almond), milk lipids, honey, soybean oil, glycerides (palm, palm kernal), glycerin, sodium PCA, sorbitol.
Antioxidizing Additives include many fruit extracts (green tea, grapefruit, grape seed
