ShiKai Borage Therapy Unscented Dry Skin Lotion and Foot Cream Review
The desire for smoother, more supple, ageless, flawless, and glowing skin is the driving force behind the plethora of body products marketed to consumers. Many popular products contain chemical ingredients (parabens, phthalates, propylene glycol, and petroleum to name a few) noted to have harmful effects. Since skin will absorb what is placed upon it and whatever is absorbed by the skin affects the body, choosing body care products with healthier, more natural ingredients is an important wellness practice. Here’s a review of a healthy lotion and a crème skin care option from the Borage Therapy product line from ShiKai.

Gluten and Chemical Free OTC Remedy
If you’re like me, maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle can be challenging when searching for over the counter GF remedies and medications.
