The first product I decided to switch for a more natural alternative is lotion. I use lotion over my entire body so there's a lot of surface area for junk to creep into my system. Its hard to find a lotion that doesn't contain parabens or some other Xenoestrogens. I live in a desert so lotion is a must. My skin without lotion would look like the dried cracked dirt that we all visualize when we hear the word "desert". There are many oils that make great alternatives. My top 3 are almond oil, olive oil, and coconut oil. I most frequently use coconut oil because I like the way it smells and the consistency is a little more solid so I don't end up dripping it everywhere. I love the 72 oz jar (can you call something that is 72oz a jar?) of Nutiva organic extra virgin coconut oil that I found at Costco for $21.99. I believe you can never have too much coconut oil!
