WOULD YOU ....... Wash your hair and brush your teeth with brake fluid, engine degreaser or anti-freeze?
YOU PROBABLY ARE AND DON'T EVEN KNOW IT! - You and your family may be exposed to potential cancer causing agents every time you enter the bathroom.
Potentially harmful ingredients are in everyday personal care products.
Have you ever read the labels on your skin care products including shampoo, conditioner, shaving cream, colognes, and lotions?
Product warning labels are shown for a reason. It is a fact that many manufacturers use certain
harmful chemical ingredients mainly because they're CHEAP and give the ILLUSION of working
properly.
More Than 400 Toxic Chemicals In Your Blood
Today, cancer is the leading cause of death for women aged 35-74.
Baby Boomers have three times the cancer rate of their grandparents.
In 1901 cancer was considered a rare disease.
Statistics show that 1 out of 8000 persons had cancer.
1 Out Of 3 Have Cancer
How much cancer, and other illnesses, are linked to chemical exposure?
Sometimes it depends on which "expert" you listen to but even OSHA admits
there are at least 880 neurotoxins (harmful to your nervous system)
used in personal care products, cosmetics, and perfumes.
There is a proven significant trend towards the incidence of ALZHEIMER'S disease among long term users of ALUMINUM based anti-perspirents? But almost all store brands use aluminum.
That the most popular shampoos combine two chemicals which together form a likely
cancer causing agent? They're even listed right on the label. But how many people would know this? The manufacturers are betting "not many". Our products DO NOT have these ingredients. But another product that does is a popular KID'S SHAMPOO!
Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and propylene glycol are two of the most common ingredients found in many personal care products BUT...
That the journal of the American College of Toxicology reports that (SLS) is easily absorbed
into your skin and builds up in your heart, liver, lungs, and brain ... even if you wash it right off after using it!
The Medical College of Georgia has done testing showing that SLS forms dangerous levels of cancer-causing nitrosamines when combined with several other common ingredients found in many personal care products. Your skin is the largest breathing organ of your body, and many chemicals can be absorbed through it. Nicotine and medicine skin patches wouldn't work if the skin couldn't absorb. Yet most shampoos contain SLS.
That propylene glycol, used in many facial moisturizers and hand/body lotions, has been found to cause kidney damage and liver abnormalities in scientific and animal testing. Propylene glycol may damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin, and surface damage to the skin. Sierra brand anti-freeze for your car is mostly propylene glycol (read it right off the label). Most auto anti-freezes will switch to propylene glycol (from ethylene glycol) in the near future.
Is this the best thing to be putting on your skin? We don't think so, so we don't use it!
That KIDS' bubble baths have warning labels on them? Why? It is because the sodium lauryl
sulfate in them eats away at the mucous lining of the skin and causes urinary tract infections.
We have a much better product that is safe to use.
The Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc. reports that sodium lauryl sulfate builds up in the eye tissue and may be a cause of eyesight problems in many children. You will find sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate in most shampoos. You won't find it in ours.
SLS-Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
is a wetting agent that allows shampoo
to spread out and penetrate more easily. It is found in shampoos and some
deodorants and cosmetics. It has been found to increase the absorbtion
of certain chemicals. It can actually damage the outer layer of the skin,
the stratum corneum [outer layer of the skin], causing dryness,
roughness, scaliness, fissuring, loss of flexibility and reduction of
the barrier functions of normal healthy skin.
It can cause damage to the
moisture retaining ability at the cellular level resulting in water loss
and loss of water-binding ability. (Cosmetic Science, C. Prottey, 1978)
It is a mutagen, which means that it is capable of actually changing the
information in genetic material found in the cells!
It has
been linked with health problems such as contact dermatitis, autotoxicity,
kidney damage and liver abnormalities.
Bulletin of Enviromental Contamination and Toxicology, Jan. 1987
Hulda Clark Ph.D. links it to different Cancers and other diseases.It is
a component of brake fluid and anti-freeze. It originally was developed
for use in industry as an anti-freeze, brake fluid,airplane de-icer among
other applications. It's been used in the cosmetics for over 30 years!!
Toxic molecules enter the body by one of three ways: breathed, ingested
or absorbed. Remember the skin absorbs 60 to 80%!
