As founder of Cosmetics Without Synthetics, I appreciate your letters. In January, 2013, we will begin our 16th year of business and 14th year online! Thanks so much for your wonderful support and referrals of your friends and relatives! My personal goal is to educate as many people as possible to read their labels and do not take the word "natural" for granted. I have searched the world over to find the purest and highest quality cosmetic products for my customers. Suffering from allergies since childhood, I have always sought out personal care and cosmetic products with minimal ingredieints. After a professional career for 13 years as an interior designer, I started my natural cosmetics company as a mail order business in 1997. This was to meet the needs of others who were seeking cosmetics without synthetics. Two years later we went online, and the rest is history! In 2000 I developed the Earth's Beauty line due to the demand of my customers wanting even lesser ingredient makeup than what I was offering from other brands. In April 2003, I received my certification in Aromatherapy. With this education I am able to educate our customers on why skincare products work using essential oil ingredients. We are also pleased to bring you our own lines of products: Earth's Beauty®, Cosmetics Without Synthetics®, True Aroma™, and meisha™. In 2008 we were honored to be awarded the USA/Canada distributorship for the Paul Penders company. We are proud of all of the companies we represent!

Please email me with comments and suggestions that you may have. Customer satisfaction is our goal!

It amazed me that I received my order so quickly and so well packaged. Thank you very much. I would like to extend my appreciation for the free shipping. This is a blessing in itself. My last order (from another company) cost me as much in shipping as it did in product.

M.L.

Hi Ladies. I'm so excited I just got my order. Man you ladies are fast. I will never shop with anyone else. Ya'll are great!

I have tried many "natural cosmetics", but never have I had as much success with the quality of how they feel and look on my face!!

First I want to tell you how impressed I am with your products! I received my order last week, and have been using my samples of your powder and blush along with full sizes... I have not worn makeup in years because it either irritated my skin, or looked chalky or unnatural. I cannot get over how great your products look.

I just received my latest order, and just love everything, as usual! I had previously ordered the Earth's Beauty powder foundation with sunscreen, which I really like. However, with my most recent order, I decided to try the kabuki powder brush, since I was just using an old powder brush that I already had, and what a difference! I suggest to anyone using the powder foundation to use the kabuki brush along with it, because it makes a huge difference. The powder goes on so much more smoothly and evenly, and you actually use less of the powder because the kabuki brush is so dense. I also ordered the Earth's Beauty lip gloss for the first time, and just love that. It feels great, not gooey or slippery. I ordered Natural Taupe, and it's a lovely color, very natural, and it smells and tastes great, too! Thanks for the great products and for your wonderful service--your website is just fantastic!

This is an excellent website featuring a wonderful selection of organic/natural products. I've ordered several times and have been extremely happy with the products, service, shipping, etc. Really love the option of ordering sample sizes of products. That way for only a buck or two you can try a product before you purchase a full size.... I've purchased several sample sizes of eye shadows (as well as other cosmetic products) in different colors for only $1.50 each--they come in paint-by-numbers style small plastic containers and are perfect for sampling and throwing in your purse or travel cosmetics case.

I was very impressed with the size of the samples I received a few weeks ago--well worth the money and postage. With really sensitive skin I buy very little unless I can sample first. Your web site is a gold mine!

JTB

I have been trying to go to all natural cosmetics for over a year..... finding your website was an answer to my prayers. Not only are your selection of products excellent, but having samples to try was wonderful. I am now totally on your natural products and find my eyes do not get 'red' anymore. The fact that there are no chemicals (especially parabens) gives me piece of mind... It just doesn't get any better than this! Thank you for great products and service!

Bo in CA

I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all of your help and kindness. I'm glad that you have made available such healthy products that are highly effective.

A.M. in Hawaii

Thanks for offering superior products without compromise, and giving truthful consumer information.

J.R. in CA

I got my order quickly and everything looks terrific. It's really obvious that you take great care in packaging orders and putting together the samples. I also want to mention that your customer service is excellent. I do a lot of online shopping and let me tell you, your service is a cut above the rest. Very prompt, down to earth and personable. I can tell you care a lot for each of your customers, and satisfaction is a top priority. Thank you for offering such a fine selection of natural products.

D.L. in OK

Thank you, thank you! The products are the first I have been able to use since discovering I was allergic to methylparaben.? This is a great thing you do. Thank you for the excellent follow up and service. You are truly appreciated.

K.P. in CA

I am just writing to say "Thank You". I have very sensitive skin and scalp and suffer from eczema...I found your website during one of my many internet searches for natural skin care products....I was actually able to use almost every sample product that I received without irritation, and have since ordered full sizes---even lipsticks!...You have a life-long customer in me!

D.L. in CA

It is truly so wonderful to do business with someone that is honest and caring for others ... especially when they have never meet them!!

T.B. in NV

thank you so much, I love your makeup and the way you show honest concern and are interested in your customer's needs.

D.H. in TN

Thank you so much for your suggestions!....Your quick response is another wonderful thing I like about your company. Thanks again!

W.H. in CT

I received the mascara yesterday and I love it. It did not bother my eyes at all- I cannot believe it. I have been searching for years and suddenly I come across your site- it is a dream come true!

G.A. in England

Thank you for being so prompt and efficient in dealing with my order. I was really pleased to receive it from the United States yesterday morning. In fact, it arrived in a much shorter time than many orders within England! The make-up looks great and it is so good to know that I can put things on my face without being worried about nasty chemicals. Thank you so much for setting up your cosmetics company. I will certainly re-order from you in the near future.

P.H. in VA

I love this company! Don't want to know what I'd do without you!

In regards to your company's positive approach against animal testing, I would like to simply let you know that I commend your company, and will continue to buy your products. Animal testing is an important issue.Thanks to your company's standpoint, many animals' lives are being saved. Because of my morals, I believe it is wrong to torture other species for the benefit of man. Thank you for respecting these morals with your policies. Perhaps many other large companies that still conduct animal tests will leave behind their outdated ways, and follow in your example.

I just wanted to take the time to tell you I am so thoroughly pleased with everything I have ordered and used from your website! I have very sensitive skin, and have searched since my early teen years for products that would help and not harm my skin, finding that most did nothing to help, or did only one or two of the things they promised; moisturize without breakouts, get rid of oil without excessive drying, etc., and mostly they did nothing promised... All the skin care products I've purchased have done all the things promised, and my skin has never looked or felt better! I also wanted to say that the chance to buy samples really helps tremendously. Anyway, you have great stuff, keep up the great work, and thanks from my happy skin!

S.M. in TN

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for your great service! I am really enjoying the products and samples that I ordered. Everything is such good quality. I really appreciate your helpfulness. Thanks and God bless.

B.B. in VA

Your site looks wonderful. I love the links to the news stories. Very professional and compelling!

...Just for comparison I ordered some products from a so-called "natural" company. When I read the ingredients of their products it was so "un-natural" I couldn't believe what they advertised was what I received. Naturally I wrote a letter of complaint claiming they were misleading people. The rep who wrote me back actually tried to claim that parabens were natural!!! And that no such company existed that had all natural ingredients. So I took the initiative in letting them know that you are out there and are the real deal, and that you even supply a list of ingredients up front. So once again, I thank you for your wonderful products, but most of all your honesty.

G.G. in Canada

I want to thank you very much for your wonderful and stylish products! I purchased lots of them last year just before a holliday in Europe and my wedding so I got the chance to use them quite often. I got lots of compliments about the way I looked, my pictures are beautiful and I am left with wonderful memories thanks to you. .. Although there are many other firms that advertise "natural" cosmetics I find the term abused and totally misused in order to include ingredients that are carcinogenic and toxic... Thank you for a job well done.

K.B. in IA

Just want to let you know how enamored I am with your products! I was pretty skeptical when I ordered samples because I thought that if the products did not have all the chemicals in most companies products that they would be "weird" and not so nice. I have been pleasantly surprised and will continue to do business with your company. Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind!

B.S. in GA

Just wanted to let you know I am very pleased with your products. After finally finding out what I have been allergic to for many years, and then finding your company to provide the chemical free products, I finally have a face that is not swollen and rash-laden! It is a joy to wake up without puffy, itchy eyes........ and wear quality makeup that stays on throughout the day.

I am a cancer patient who is following Dr. Clark's "The Cure for all Cancers". Naturally I was upset when I read about the "NO MAKE-UP" rule. I love make-up! So I checked jeeves for "natural cosmetics", but as you know many of the web sites were not as "natural" as they claimed to be. When I reached your's and saw that you believed in Dr. Clark's book I was estatic, to say the least. I can't wait to get all the samples I ordered so I can try them out and order my favorites in full sizes! Thank you so much for producing these real natural cosmetics!

As you can probably tell from my many orders over the last few weeks, I have been replacing everything in the cosmetic and skin care departments for myself and my husband. This has been a huge process, as we were very content with the many products we were using, all of which we thought were "healthy" and "natural" from quality "Health Stores". From two or three different sources I suddenly came to realize the danger of many of the ingredients in our so-called "healthy" products. I couldn't stand to use the old products one more day. We tossed all the "suspicious ingredient products" and started from scratch. All of the products we purchase from your web site are simply wonderful and we especially appreciate your quick filling of our orders. We just wanted to say Thank You for providing your wonderful products and education to the world. I know you will be receiving many more orders from us."

I have been reading so much about business on the Internet and a lot of it says that there is no personalized customer service there. They have obviously not dealt with Marj at Cosmetics Without Synthetics! Back last September I purchased your Rosehip antiwrinkle oil for myself. It worked wonderfully! The few little crow's feet at the sides of my cheeks/eyes that I was beginning to have (when I was really tired, that's when they showed) are now totally gone. And everyone notices.

E.F. in IL

I am so thankful that this company exists. I have been allergic to parabens for almost 2 years, but was only diagnosed 9 months ago. It has been so frustrating trying to shop for cosmetics, etc. It's actually hard to find companies that sell paraben-free products.

M.D.

Just wanted to say I love your website. I have ordered from alot of other sites and found yours the best. I love the samples and want to try the products you have.

MJM

...I want to thank you so much for your sample service. ..Digital color swatches on a computer screen are highly unreliable. I am so grateful for your samples, as I have finally found colors that really suit me!...

A.T.

..I wanted you to be the one to know how impressed I was with the service I received from CWS! I put an order in on the computer Friday afternoon and my package arrived already yesterday.....GREAT SERVICE! I just wanted to say thank you and job well done!

E.

I want to let you know that I received my products packaged very well and in very good condition. I received them in just a few days of my order. Everything feels so nice and smells terrific.

C.H.

Thank you for your customer service, amazing and healthy products, and for keeping costs low! Thank you also for your shipping specials each month!

E.R.

I am new to purchasing organic products, but very excited. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you selling the samples to make sure the color and everything is right for your skin.

A.B.

I'm glad to see there are people who are trying to get good products out there that won't cause anymore diseases or future health problems.

C.W.

I appreciate speed in delivery of these samples & your company!

A.F.

I am so thrilled to have found a website that offers such a wide range of affordable products. Natural make-up is finally becoming easy to find and buy.

C.S.

You shipped my order so quickly the first time; thanks so much! I love that you offer samples for purchase.

N.S. in PA

I am impressed with your selections.? They are indeed clean and green.

Your site is a blessing. Thanks so much. Happy New Year!

T.M. in CA

...I will never shop at department stores again for my makeup and overpay for expensive harmful chemicals.

K.H. in TN

I appreciate your website! I have many dye allergies, and had given up on makeup. I have not had any problems at all using your natural iron oxide (Earth's Beauty) makeup. Thank you so much!

C.C. in AL

Your service is TOPS!

W.L. in CA

So nice to be able to get samples--it's hard to guess when ordering online...Thank you.
