I shared this info with my oily group of friends, but educating about toxic products is something I am becoming more passionate about. It all started for me when my daughter suddenly became allergic to red dye. I was shocked where we found red dye from spaghetti sauce to vanilla ice cream!
Reading all those labels, made me curious about what we were putting on our skin. Some of the very things our doctors tell us to put on our babies are highly toxic! Some estimates say what we put on our skin is absorbed into us, in as little as 26 seconds. I make no judgments as to what you are using, I get I was right where you were. I put myself out there and share all of this with you so that you can make better decisions for you and your family. When we know more, we make better choices.
Ignorance is not bliss, unfortunately, it can be dangerous in this day and age. This may sound dramatic and I do not mean it to. But I was truly stunned when I looked into what was in the products I was putting on myself and my families bodies. What I found didn’t make me happy, it made me really sad what we had been exposed to.
We are surrounded by so many damaging products, when you consider what the ingredients are and that our skin is our largest organ. You may be under the impression that the FDA has our back, you may be disappointed to find out they do not. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council: The last time the Federal Saftey Laws were updated is 1976, the number of chemicals (I’m not saying all are bad) in household items 84,000, number of chemicals tested by the FDA 200, the number of chemicals the FDA regulated … 5!
Ingredients you should try to avoid: retinyl palimitate, fragrance, parfum, triclosan, Cocamidopropyl betaine, quaternium-15, peg, sorbitan laurate, phenoxyethanol, potassium sorbate, butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), Aminophenol, Coat Tar, Phenylethylene, Parabens, Sodium Lauryl (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES), and so many more.
