So is it good to use everday, because it is organic, but it contains alot of silicone?

There is no such thing as organic body care because organics is regulated by the USDA and body care/cosmetics are regulated by the FDA. this means that there is a huge loophole for cosmetics. they can legally use the term organic to market their products without being organic.

You have a wonderful example of this. The product in question I see had parabens, dimethicone and several other ingredients that are carcinogenic and should be avoided at all costs. So even though this product does use some certified organic products it is also using ingredients that would not be allowed if there was an organic standard for cosmetics/body care

http://www.organicconumers.org has a great list of body care products that really are organic as well as a campaign to close the huge loopholes cosmetics/body care companies are taking good advantage of.
