Be Aware of the products that you put on your skin!

 

We are exposed to many harmful toxins everyday that are common in many mainstream products such as personal care products, cosmetics, fragrances and cleaners! 

 

“the average person can absorb more  contaminants from bathing and showering than  from drinking and eating”  – Alain Menard – Green Beaver

Harmful ingredients found in personal care items:

 

Parabens 

  • Parabens are chemical preservatives used in skin care, haircare and cosmetics to stop mould by preventing normal biological activity. 
  • Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl and Butyl parabens were found to be mildly oestrogenic which means they have the ability to mimic female hormones in your body when applied to the skin 
  • Parabens occur in so many products that they could have a cumulative effect  

Propylene glycol 

  • This ingredient can be irritating to the skin 
  • Having a small molecular weight it can be absorbed through the skin 
  • Has been shown to cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage in laboratory animals  

Formaldehyde 

  • used as a preservative in general purpose cleaning products 
  • a suspected carcinogen 
  • an irritant to the eyes, throat, skin and lungs
  • often present in conventional mattresses  

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate 

  • SLS is a surfactant which is widely used in cleaning detergents and body care products, including toothpaste, shampoo, flowing soaps and shower gels and dish washing liquid.  
  • It imparts foam and viscosity; it’s also a strong detergent to remove soiling. It strips oils and fats efficiently.  
  • We do not use this ingredient in our products because we believe that if SLS is absorbed through the skin then penetration can include systemic tissues such as the brain, heart, spleen and liver.  
  • SLS in your hair products could be increasing the rate of skin absorption of other chemicals used – like detergents, preservatives, fragrances and colour additives
