Ingredients
Something that is difficult to find out is where each of the ingredients in different products, such as personal care products and food, comes from. Trying to find this out for every product one uses is unrealistic. Even if a product looks simple, it can contain dozens of ingredients constellated thanks to long and often global supply chains. In my personal practice, I try to be mindful of that. At times, due to my autoimmune skin condition, I use more conventional (but still "natural") or prescription items, so my practice is far from perfect. In the photo above are rosehip oil and rose water, single-ingredient products. They come from an EU country. I use rosehip oil as a cleanser and instead of a moisturiser in summer when my skin becomes even more sensitive due to sun exposure. These products come in glass containers. I wish it was possible to refill them and to remove the labels effortlessly.
