Thanks for all the good advice. But I think we need to be clear about the meaning of "natural". Lead, mercury and arsenic are bad for the body but they are all natural minerals! Nobody can synthesize them from other ingredients. Not all natural materials are good and there are good synthesized materials. Tobacco and marijuana are as natural as any other herbs and we all know how bad they are. Pure petroleum jelly (petrolatum) is the best and inexpensive moisturizer around. It is inert and when applied thinly can seal in moisture effectively.
