All Natural Beauty Products
All natural beauty products are made using only the purest and gentlest ingredients derived from nature, with no added chemicals of any kind. This is the ideal way to really care for and protect your skin. Did you realize that the products you are putting on your hair could be damaging to your overall health? Or did you ever stop to think that the statement "you are what you eat" could be extrapolated to include "you are what you put on your skin and hair, too"?
It is true that your skin absorbs the products that you put on it. Think of estrogen patches to be applied to the skin or nicotine patches to help you stop smoking. These products are living proof that you absorb chemicals through your skin. You think that your skin is a barrier to toxins, but it is rather a carrier. In fact, toxins which enter your body thru your mouth (on the food you eat) are subjected to the enzymes in your saliva and stomach which can break them down and reduce their harm to your body. They are also passed through the liver and the kidneys and are detoxified a bit more.
But toxins that enter your body through your skin bypass the liver and the stomach enzymes and go directly into the bloodstream and tissues with no other protection to reduce their harm. In fact, the carcinogen called nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA), an ingredient often found in shampoos, was shown to have 100 times higher absorption rate through the skin than through the mouth at a report given to a congressional hearing in 1978.
Be selective in the products you choose to put on your hair because you want to get healthy hair while achieving beautiful hair you feel good about. Shampoos and conditioners are full of petrochemicals, many of which are known to cause skin and eye irritation and allergic reactions. Your skin needs to be nourished and moisturized regularly in order to remain healthy and supple. Instead of using skin care products containing chemicals, opt for natural skin care products that deliver the same results without the risk of developing rashes and allergies.
Manufacturers of organic skin care products offer every kind of skin care product that you could ever need. You can find natural body lotions, facial moisturizers, face and body scrub, bubble bath, body wash, facial mask, bath oils, facial and body soap, deodorant and hand and foot care products.
Whether you are looking for a specific product for facial skin care, body skin care, anti-aging products, toners, moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams, lip care, and sunscreen, nowadays it is possible to find an option that made from organic ingredients. If you have special needs like oily, dry, combination, and sensitive skin – it is also possible to find products that are suitable for this. In fact these products are better for people with sensitive skin – as these natural skin remedies are mild and pure so you don’t have to worry about any irritation.
Using all natural beauty products that are eco-friendly has never been more important, when you take into consideration the major global environmental issues that we are facing today. It feels good knowing that you are still able to get the same beauty products that you know and love, only now you know that they are completely organic and that you are doing your part to protect the environment. Read your ingredients label and cross reference with our toxic 100 list, and use the cosmetics database site. Treat yourself to some organic favorites by browsing our beauty product directory or find do-it-yourself recipes.
