Ali O's Ingredients

The subject for today is what I use in my products.  I take special notice of making sure that the ingredients that I use are as pure as I can get.  Some are organic, some are wild crafted, and some are ethically harvested.  What does all this mean?  It means that the products that I use have NO pesticides.

I contact all my suppliers and talk about the harvesting.  Even though they don't claim to be organic-even though they are----they are a small company and can't afford the organic certification.  Some are small distillers and some are small companies.  I believe them because of the relationship that I have developed with them.  Unfortunately only the large companies can afford the certification.  The big big companies have figured out ways to get the certification even though they are abusing it, and what that certification means is--- your going to believe the certificate and not what they are REALLY doing.  Old story.  Big Corporations and the ways that they fool you.  In my estimation-it's time to support the small producer and give the corporations a big kick in the behind.  Opps!  Think local, buy local, support the small businesses and be aware.

Signing off.  Ali O.
