Introducing Mad Mondays... we are so over toxic chemicals in our products that when we did our research, it wasn't a surprise that so many of ailments can be simply avoided if we took a little more time in knowing what we are putting on our bodies everyday and in the most intimate places.
Did you remember your skin is the largest organ on your body? Just as a reminder, your skin works like your liver or your lung, not just like a zip lock bag keeping it all together. It absorbs everything up to about 60% so from perfume to deoderants and especially shampoos and other bubbly delights, those ingredients become a part of us and our pores are just an open door to free radicals. here are some ingredients we consider avoidable.
Sodium Laurel Sulfate: White powder used as a detergent, emulsifier, and surfactant in over thousands of cosmetic products, including shampoos, toothpastes, lotions and creams. SLS is a strong degreaser that dries skin and hair. It is a primary irritant in high concentrations. It is produced synthetically. The presence of natural ingredients make little difference in the irritating action. Any cosmetic that contains sodium laurel sulfate can't be termed as natural, although many shampoos labeled as natural contain large amounts.
