I received a sample of Kiehl’s Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate sometime ago and was rather intrigued by the warm sensation it left on my skin upon application.  In fact, the first time I used it, I thought my skin was burnt.

This product is formulated with one of the highest concentrations of stabilized pure vitamin C on the market — 10.5% and has the highest pH (7).   The cream is said to reduce the appearance of wrinkles as effectively as retinol (vitamin A) products, but without the irritation.

I wanted to review Burt’s Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion but instead found something more interesting at their website. 

Burt’s Bees has gone ahead to set The Natural Standard, where they’re working with the industry to develop a universally recognized and regulated standard on products labeled Natural.  According to what they’re saying at The Greater Good, all products that are labeled “Natural” must:

• Be made with at least 95% truly natural ingredients.
• Contain no ingredients with any potential suspected human health risks.
