Snowy Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just curious, as I bought some today from our local health shop. I've been following the topics on using products that are SLS free with interest, but not having had skin problems in the past, not paid it too much attention. Since I've been ill my skin has been terrible - all over my body the skin is getting very dry and flaky. I think it is just a response to the illness and is improving, but it's made me stop and think about how much rubbish I slop on everyday! Anyway, I got some Faith in Nature handwash to try, and some Jason shampoo, shower gel and hand lotion. Has anyone else used them, and how do they compare to the Faith in Nature / Green People products? I can't afford to completely swap over to SLS free products, but I though I'd make a start and see if my skin stops falling off! Here is a link to them (can only find an american site) http://www.jason-natural.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've seen them in my local wholefood shop where I buy my Faith in Nature stuff, but not tried them. Just had a big clearout of old makeup I don't use any more and anything toiletries with parabens in them, so looking to restock on a few things...

theherd123 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yes we have tried them Snowy and we think they are great The Aloe Vera ones are just brill as my OH has terrible skin and they really suit him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Thanks Em! I've got some apricot shampoo, herbal body wash and the hemp hand cream (currently working wonders on my flaky hands ) It seems quite reasonably priced as well.

theherd123 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yes it is we usually buy the huge bottle of shower wash and it lasts the 2 of us a good couple of months. We buy the huge moisturiser when we go visit family in the West Indies as we constantly slap it on! The moisturiser the OH used is the 84% aloe vera one - personally its way too rich for my skin but he loves it and it suits his skin really well. He was given steriod cream as a child and was told to use it every day morning and night which he did for nearly 10 years Needless to say it has done a lot of damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanie Bean Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've been using them recently, and love them. The lavender face wash/hand soap is lovely and silky and I have been using the sea kelp shampoo until I started the no 'poo route. You wont need conditioner and it lasts for much longer than a 'normal' shampoo. A bit expensive but not as much as some SLS free shampoos.

Eyren Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I love hemp based moisturiser - I have the Body Shop hemp hand cream, which I use after gardening. My skin isn't normally dry, but contact with soil turns it to sandpaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I tried Jason products, but didn't get on as well with them as I do with faith in nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keanie Bean Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I just bought some of the kids shampoo. It smells so nice, but I cant use it for me at the moment as I'm giving the sans 'poo thing a go. I used it on my son this evening as hemanaged to cover himself in poached egg and peanut butter (dont ask ), which I wasnt getting out without any shampoo. His hair was so silky and soft afterwards.
