There are no “natural” cosmetics, but there are formulation strategies that can be followed to create cosmetics and personal care products that are more “natural” than standard products.

In this SupplySide West edition of the Healthy INSIDER podcast, Rachel Adams, managing editor, and Perry Romanowski, vice president of Element 44 Inc., discuss strategies for formulating natural cosmetics.
