Organic and All Natural Personal Care Products: Why?
Everyday we are exposed to a multitude of contaminates and toxins from the air we breathe, the clothes we wear and the personal care products we use. Most of us donâ??t stop to think about the risk we take when we constantly put chemicals into and onto our bodies and often it is assumed that if it is for sale then it is tested and safe. Wouldnâ??t the health regulations make sure everything is safe to use? Not really. Below are the top factors in why we should think twice before going for the conventional personal care products.
Poor Regulation: Personal care products are a part of the United States Cosmetics Industry and since 1938 this industry has been self regulated. Additionally the manufactures have no federal review or approval process. The ingredients used are often synthetic; in fact there are over 10,000 chemicals that are used in personal care products with only about 11 percent of them being tested for health and safety of its users. Many of the chemicals used are proven to be toxic.
 Toxic Chemicals: A few of the toxic chemicals used in many personal care products sold today include Parabens, Propylene Glycol, Lauramide and Sodium Laurel Sulfate.  These chemicals can cause health concerns, especially when used over a long period of time and when you consider we begin in infancy we set ourselves up for a lifetime of toxic chemical exposure. Propylene Glycol is used in brake fluid and antifreeze. Additionally this toxic chemical has been shown to cause kidney and liver damage. Parabens mimic estrogen and is linked to breast cancer. Two foaming agents widely used are Lauramide and Sodium Laurel Sulfate is carcinogenic. Take a look at the ingredients on your personal care products and compare it to a directory of toxic chemicals available for your use.
 Petroleum Use: In a recent study by a not for profit environmental group shows that over half of the baby soaps and many common personal care products using petroleum bases also contain a carcinogen 1,4-dioxane.  The study went on to show that 80% of cosmetic products contained one or more carcinogenic impurities including formaldehyde, hydroquinone, ethylene dioxide, PAHâ??s, nitrosamines and acrylamides. To avoid the top carcinogens avoid products with ingredient lists that include: PEG, xynol, sodium laureth sulfate and oleth. Additionally, the report suggested using only organic products to avoid a host of problems; environmental and health related. Environmentally, avoiding petroleum based personal care products helps to reduce the non renewable oil usage. Remember, if you canâ??t eat it you shouldnâ??t wear it!
