Have you ever thought about what goes into most commercial brands of soaps, moisture creams, shampoos and bubble bath?

This course will show you how to reduce your toxic load – from food and toiletries. Prepare to be shocked when you learn what really goes into the contents of your bathroom cabinet! You will also find out some powerful information that will change the way you think about food. Learn how to read – and make sense of – food labels. Shopping will never be the same again! Find out what to look for and how to choose the best foods, creams and soaps for you and your family.
A selection of the hand made, natural soaps and moisture creams (Simply Soaps) will be available to buy. This means no synthetic detergents, perfumes, colourings or preservatives. Simply Soaps use minimal, biodegradable, packaging and a low energy manufacturing process.
