WHAT GOES INTO GD/BOTANICALS
Let's start with what doesn't. No parabens. No toxins. No preservatives. No harmful chemicals. Nothing bad at all. Just quality ingredients that are good for you, resulting in products you can feel good about. We're so proud of our ingredients that we've listed them all below. So you know exactly what goes into our products and what you get out of them.
