Everything we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies (just think of all the medical patches sold). In Europe, beauty products are now barred from containing any chemicals known or strongly suspected to cause cancer or birth defects. Unfortunately, it is perfectly legal in the United States for companies to sell beauty products that contain chemicals linked to cancer, specifically breast cancer.

At Healing Anthropology we are passionately committed to changing the status quo on skin care by making safe, effective and 100% natural products available.
Modern skin products only add toxins to our already stressed bodies. Healing Anthropology offers products with the unique combination of being wonderfully luxurious and completely free of any toxins or chemical preservatives. We use only the finest natural ingredients. Because of this, our products would not harm you if eaten, and although we do not suggest that you eat them, we do suggest they be treated as food. They should definitely be kept in a cool dry place and refrigerating them will extend their shelf life.

While offering natural and effective skin products, we also achieve another of Healing Anthropology's goals which is to bring the wisdom of the past together with that of the future. Cultures around the world have used plants and minerals to heal for thousands of years. Healing Anthropology takes this time-tested knowledge and combines it with modern anti-aging research to create a product with superior healing properties.

Healing Anthropology’s philosophy goes beyond skin products. Social and environmental responsibility is at the core of the company. The products are 100% chemical-free, products are in no way tested on animals, packaging is recyclable, and labels are printed with soy based ink. Further, all marketing and press material is printed on 100% recycled paper, products are shipped sealed in BioBags (which are made from corn and completely biodegrade leaving no toxic residue), products are not boxed to cut down on waste and part of proceeds go to charitable organizations.
