"I'm in agreement with Sherrice, the simpler the better. I use organic sugar; sea salt; olive oil; and a blend of plant butters (either Shea, Mango or Coconut Oil). It takes awhile to get the measurements right (depending on the…"

Whenever I post an article on Indie the alignments in font size, sentence and paragraph spacing and structure, and dropped words, goes crazy. I re-do it numerous times, it "looks okay", but when I…Continue

Mountain Spirit Botanicals began in my kitchen, when my daughter Lily was four years old. It was a means for me to instill in her the value of personal ritual and the beauty that comes with taking…Continue

"I've tried to avoid retail outlets as my cost of organic ingredients is high and most retailers want to mark-up the product 100% which makes it costly on the consumer end. With that said, I recently approached a local, high-volume Garden…"
Quality of Life
If we pause to reflect on the essence this father and son share, perhaps we may refrain from referring to their culture as “primitive”. (Personally, I perceive this family to be highly evolved, unencumbered by the detritus of “advanced” cultures). The word primitive has noble origins; unfortunately, advanced…See More

Robert Goodman commented on the blog post 'Mineral Oil and Skincare'"Petro oil and gas recovery have got nothing on agriculture where it comes to alteration of the environment. You don't suppose olive groves just got that way, do you? What was there before the olive monoculture? Meanwhile palm oil is…"
"Although I've tried to ignore your comment "we must be writing in different languages if you think you can beat mineral oil for purity or naturalness. No animals have to be killed in its making, no trees cut down, no land cleared for…"
Robert Goodman commented on the blog post 'Mineral Oil and Skincare'"Switch from MO to "pure, natural ingredients"?! What could be purer or more natural than mineral oil? Its name says it. It comes from the ground, they remove the heavier and lighter fractions, that's it. I…"
"Yes, my point exactly. Good old Johnson & Johnson, eh? A customer, who as a baby and young child was "slathered liberally" with Mineral Oil products (by her father, who was a doctor) always had painful boils throughout her…"
Robert Goodman commented on the blog post 'Mineral Oil and Skincare'"That "experiment" has already been done. Babies routinely have their tushies smeared with baby oil or petroleum jelly after diaper changes; baby oil is perfumed mineral oil."
"Thank you for your comment Mr. Goodman, I too "strongly disagree" with your opinion. As far as your opinion "it's hard to come up with anything more innocuous to put on skin than M.O.", this statement is quite…"
Robert Goodman commented on the blog post 'Mineral Oil and Skincare'"I disagree strongly. While it is possible to react negatively to M.O. on the skin, it is considered so biologically inert that it's used as a carrier oil in allergy tests. When it's refined well enough, it's hard to come…"
Mineral Oil and Skincare
Because numerous women have asked me to explain the harmful effects of Mineral oil in skincare products, I’ve compiled the following information (gleaned from numerous articles as well as my own opinions) to explain why I am adamantly opposed to the widespread use of this toxic ingredient. I hope that you will find this information helpful, and that you will share it with anyone using commercially manufactured personal care products that contain Mineral oil (or other ingredients that you can’t…See More
