Green Light Bodycare

‘Not Safe’ ingredient list | ‘Untested’ ingredient list | Safe Ingredient List

Your skin is the largest organ of your body and absorbs 60 percent of what is put on it. This can be worrisome when you realize just how many questionable ingredients are in common body care products.

The natural body care industry has been under particular scrutiny lately due to contamination concerns (i.e. 1,4 dioxane), unsafe preservatives (i.e. parabens), and the lack of regulation in all cosmetics. Here at Community Market, our Product Policy helps us to strive to offer the finest and the healthiest of what is available in the natural product industry. We want to take that a step further by educating our customers about which are the cleanest products to choose from on the shelves. To make it easy for you to choose the best, we have implemented a "Green Light" bodycare program. There is now a detailed list of chemicals that we consider harmful and a second list of ingredients we could not classify due to a lack of information. Each list is in alphabetical order by ingredient name. Each ingredient is listed with the purpose it serves in a product and why it is harmful or if there is not enough information to make an assessment. These lists are both available at Community Market or online at the bottom of this page.

All Green Light products are vegetarian and completely clean and free of harsh or unknown chemicals and now have a green price tag, while the products with some questionable ingredients keep the standard yellow tag. We hope this will help make deciphering unknown ingredients and perplexing labels on body care products easier. At Community Market, we care about you and your health and we want to help you be a conscious consumer. We make it simple for you to be the healthiest you can be.
