I known Arnica for a long long time. I’m happy that you include this in your ingredients post
Tavia, I’m glad you enjoyed this post. Arnica is a nice ingredient, isn’t it?
Where is a reputable site that you can buy Arnica and other botanical ingredients for cosmetics?
Tina, I buy everything in shop so I don’t know of any sites. I’m sure a google search would turn up a few but because I have never bought from any of them I can’t vouch for one in particular, sorry.
