What Are You Feeding Your Skin?
Are Your Bath and Body Products Making You Sick?
|
First things first, THROW OUT the old stuff! Bath and body products generally have a ~ 2 year shelf life, but they all vary, depending on the type of product, storage and usage.
What you are putting on your skin day after day, year after year, may be doing much more harm than good!
Have you ever stopped to think how many hours a day your face spends under a layer of makeup (which is likely loaded with synthetic and toxic chemicals) or what ingredients are penetrating your skin when applying your favorite body skin care products?
Your skin absorbs up to 60% of the ingredients (including the synthetic and toxic chemicals) found in the cosmetics, lotions and other body skin care products you use on a daily basis.
Absorbing natural and organic ingredients from plant oils and waxes, mineral pigments and essential oils is a healthier alternative!
The Facts:
- The average adult uses 9 personal care products daily, exposing them to an average 126 chemicals every day!
- One-third of all personal care products contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human carcinogens.
- 89% of 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have NOT been evaluated for safety.
- Over the last 30 years, only 9 of the 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have been banned or restricted.

Side Note: The chemicals present in any one body care product alone are unlikely to cause immediate harm.
The Issue Is ...
We are being repeatedly exposed to toxic chemicals from multiple sources on a daily basis, which long-term can be detrimental to our health. Some chemicals used in personal care products, including bath and body care, are carcinogens. This means that there have been many studies that show that exposure to a certain chemical can result in cancer in humans or in laboratory animals.
Our Point Is ...
Body skin care products would be safer without the chemicals that we know can cause cancer, birth defects, allergies and/or contribute to other serious health conditions.
That Is Why ...
We recommend all natural body care products as alternatives to avoid or at least limit the synthetic and toxic chemicals found in conventional personal care products.
