Water I guess? I always check to make sure that water is the first ingredient that is on the label because that would mean that it was mild. Other than that, it would depend on the product that I am buying right? I'm not so picky when it comes to lotions, but if there's Vitamin E then I'm more inclined to try it out.

The packaging is what attracts me irst and then I check the price and then the label.

Hello Mimico, always a pleasure to share things with you :-)

I like very much natural ingredients from islanders because most of the time their use them for a long time if not for generations. I also think that islanders are more exposed from elements, so medicinal pratices from them are great inspirations to make sensational products.

Dimethicone! Yes. its the ingredient that gives products that powdery, slip that makes everything go on smooth! I have big pores so anything that makes a product matte and makes my faundation stick on and appear better, that's for me. Also kaolin or clay to absorb oil and tighten pores like in masks.

Aloe vera!!! There are just too many benefits to this ingredient.. Be it skin or be it hair.. aloe vera soothes both of them.

Oh, I love aloe vera too!

Oatmeal is a lot of fun, I put it in baths (in a muslin bag so it doesn't clog the drain) and into soap. I love a good oatmeal soap, it's exfoliating without being too harsh.

I also like poppyseeds for a gentle exfoliant. I'm doing them in soap now but I might add a facial scrub too.

And lavender. Oh, do I love lavender.
