Your FAB FIVE would be...

[NaturallyATLPCH]

What are your fab five ingredients you like to see in the products you use?

I look for:

Coconut oil, olive oil, castor oil, BTMS, and any ceramide oil (sunflower, wheat germ, safflower, kukui nut, etc.). Other ingredients are welcomed as long as I see those or some of those in there.
