Sephora.com has a “natural” section

Sephora.com has a "natural" section which we were so excited about, but once we looked up some of the products ingredients- well, it was a little disappointing.

One of the product lines claims to be preservative free, but they are using an ingredient called Lonicera Caprifolium which is a new natural preservative. Hey, it's ok to use a preservative, but let us know it's in there Bosca folks. You can double check the preservative info "here",
it was pretty far down the page.
