Suggestions for natural skin care products?

I've been looking around on vitacost lately and I really want to order from there! I love the idea of using products containing only natural ingredients and oils that are good for my skin, but I rarely ever switch face products because I'm worried I'll break out. I'm 18 and have combination skin. My t-zone can get pretty oily at times, but my cheeks and eye area are SO dry right now. My face can be kinda sensitive at times and I have a few zits here and there, but nothing too extreme I guess. I'm thinking about switching my face wash and my moisturizer, so does anyone have any suggestions? I'm especially looking into Desert Essence and Alba Botanica brands. Anyone have any experience with these?

In the beauty industry, there is no industry-agreed meaning for terms like 'organic' or 'natural'. Unlike the food industry, these terms are not regulated for cosmetics which means companies can use these terms pretty freely.
Also, products like shampoo, conditioner and body wash are mostly made of water so therefore are mostly natural (because water is natural, right?). So if a shampoo is 90% water, then a company can simply claim "90% organic or natural" and be telling the truth. Certainly, this isn't in the spirit of what people believe organic to mean, but it is within the law.

I didn't think I have allergies, but for 4 months, I've used a new product 100% Paraben Free, 100% natural ingredients (St. Ives brand). I couldn't return it, it was on sale, but I didn't start feeling like this weird until 4 months later. I just started feeling like the world is rocking, like I'm on drugs, and staggering when I get up to the bathroom, then when I lie down, & rest & open my eyes, the things around me are still moving, like I'm inside a boat! Then it calms down. I got rid of the product, I couldn't return it, it's 1/4th from the bottle. Gel harms the nerves, I've preached about that for months and I've gotten rid of ANYTHING gels @ my house. 
SENSITIVE SKIN? Skip the gels and waterproof formulas. They contain more alcohol, as well as an ingredient called propylene glycol, which many people are allergic to. Water just can't get in (sunscreen for ex.) but sweat also can't get out - which can cause breakouts.
