Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 Do you have a web address for Melaluca? I've never heard of them and would like to check out their products..............Donna Melissa Hill <assilembob wrote:It is good that they are trying to switch over to using vegetable derived things, but they still test on animals, thier toothpaste contains WAY too many chemicals for my comfort, and well, I just get freaked out by some of thier " flavors " and such. I am also kind of disturbed by the statement about it being so chemically altered...how can that be good in any way? Recently I was introduced to melaluca, which is a company originating in Austrailia and they sell home care, body care ect. products and they have all kinds of information about what chemicals in products can do to your body and health. I already used mostly natural products but now, I am done with anything not natural.

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2005 Report Share Posted April 17, 2005 http://www.melaleuca.com/ The only downside is you need to do the prefered member thing to get cheaper prices but considering they have EVERYTHING from skin care and body care to health and wellness products you can easily get your points each month! It's kind of like mary kay or avon, only less chemical and more environmentally friendly. I may even get into the buisness side of it...who knows? I am going on a confernece call with some of the company people's on monday night to hear about the buisness and products and will let you all know what i find out from them! ~Mel --- GeminiDragon <thelilacflower wrote: > Do you have a web address for Melaluca?
