Here are a few tip to clean up your Medicine Cabinet and other places where medication and vitamins are stored: *Gather all medications in one place. *Check the expiry date of each item. *Set aside any medications that you no longer take or has expired. *Set aside any medication that is not in its original container or whose appearance, consistency or odour has changed. Take all discarded mediations and vitamins to your pharmacist for safe and ecological disposal. Do not throw them into the waste basket, sink or toilet. The Medicine Shoppe can help with the cleanup process and disposal.

The ingredients in organic beauty products set them apart from cheaper drugstore counterparts. *High concentrations of quality active ingredients vs inactive cheap fillers or harmful chemicals. *Quality active ingredients are listed first as ingredients are always listed in descending order, starting with the largest amount. *Higher concentration of active ingredients means less product is needed for each use. *Organic, clean products without chemical preservatives have an earlier expiration date.
