What is a good, all-natural skin cream for dry skin that isn't too expensive?

By "all-natural" I mean NO CHEMICALS AT ALL. I'm asking for my mother because she has been using skin creams with chemicals in them for years and I want to find her at least one that doesn't have any chemicals in it, and one that doesn't cost a fortune to purchase either.

Reply:You asked a technical question so I have to give you the truth.





The truth is there is no such thing. Every chemist, physician, dietitian, etc will tell you that even foods are made up of chemicals. Maybe you mean natural occurring chemicals. You can make your own. There are many books which will tell you how to make them.





Chemical are not bad. The next time you get a strep throat and you are sick and in pain forget that penicillin. Just use only the natural (bread mold) and see how you feel.
Reply:I have extremely dry skin too. What I have learned is that most products marketing commercially use oils that simply sit on thesurface of the skin and do not penetrate below the skin.





I found a product last year that I have used ever since. It's 100% natural and VERY resonable. It's a blend on Shea Butter and Emu Oil. It has literally clearned the dry patched around my nose and even on my feet.





It wont hurt to check it out. http://www.emushea.megamarketing.com

Reply:OK, first of all, there is no such thing as "all natural" products unless you make them yourself in your kitchen. As an esthetician I have seen just about every face line on the market. I agree that certain chemicals should not be used in products, I also think that "all natural" isn't the safest either. Look at this way, poison ivy is all natural but you wouldn't use it on your skin. The products I use are botanically based- also VEGAN, but do have a tiny amount of preservative in them to make sure bacteria doesn't grow inside the bottle/jar. The bacteria that grows can cause more problems than the chemical used.





Just like the organic food in the grocery store, "natural" costs more because all the crap cosmetic companies use as fillers is CHEAP. You get what you pay for.





Also be sure to ask if the company has a history of animal testing or uses animal by-products in the formulas.
