What about renewable plastics or ocean plastics?

How can I tell if a product is truly natural?

Read the ingredient list. Some companies will say “natural” on the front label but their ingredient list is full of petrochemicals.

If I know what is in your product, can’t I just make it at home?

Yes. But simple isn’t easy. You could source the highest quality ingredients, convert your kitchen into a filling station and spend your time mixing ingredients at just the right time and at just the right temperature and hope it comes out right or you could just let us do it.
