Hayley Walker: because every single thing in the world is a chemical. Everything is made from atoms and how those atoms come together give it it's chemical formula. A substance found naturally occurring in nature is no better or worse or different in anyway from the same chemical that is made in a lab. The use of the word "chemical" interchangeable with "toxin" is terribly misguided.
Also it is SO important to recognize that the dose makes the poison. Everything is poisonous to us at some dosage. We have lots of scary sounding things in our bodies at all times (e.g. arsenic, formaldehyde) but at such low levels, it really doesn't matter!
Not every "chemical" is bad (you wouldn't live long without dihydrogen monoxide) and not everything natural is good (deadly nightshade and listeria are not your natural friends).
Feel free to enjoy your products but don't think them being "natural" is any better for you.
Not filling your body with chemicals? Of course its good for you. I only use natural beauty products, free from toxic chemicals, I don't know why everybody doesn't.
