Regardless of the country we are in, we are probably sharing the same dilemma of finding a reliable treatment for our skin problems. Reliable might be a vague description so to be more specific, we are in the look-out for tried and tested, non-toxic, hypo-allergenic and cruelty-free treatment for our skin diseases like acne, eczema, rashes, athlete’s foot, dandruff, sunburn and more. But there is no one brand that can guarantee all of those requirements.
And despite modernization and technological advancements, there are rampant reports on animal testing, carcinogens and petroleum by-products on personal care products that most people have developed a skincare scare. So consumers resort to the basics, with the idea that what you can eat is what you can put on your skin as well.
