Retinyl Palmitate Revisited

Jun
20th
2012

You might or might not remember my post from a while back about my confusion regarding retinyl palmitate. The knowledge I gained from my limited research did prompt me to eventually add retinyl palmitate to my list of Ingredients to Avoid, but I was still pretty unsatisfied with how much I learned. Upon the discovery of All Natural Beauty, a pretty nifty website packed with useful information (complete with a HUGE ingredient glossary), I decided to ask one of the available experts what they thought of retinyl palmitate. In her response,...

Link to Foody Friday: Sweets, Beets and Ladybugs on a Log

I was feeling a little snacky yesterday, so I did the reasonable thing and made a snack. My ladybugs on a log are slightly more fancy than regular ol' ants on a log because the celery is organic, the peanut butter is mixed with a little honey, and I used dried cranberries instead of raisins.
