These ingredients are actually beneficial and are good for you. In addition, they contain vitamins and compounds such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin E,  and more, all of which help the body to function at optimal levels.
They're Better for the Environment Organic, essential oils and food grade products are better for the environment than many of those made from synthetics.
