Want to start organic but you’re still 50-50, perhaps this will give you that push to take your first step into organic beauty!
If the past year has taught us anything, it is that health is most important. We are more mindful of what we touch, what we put on our skin – best example would be the hand sanitizers and disinfectants. Because we are using these everyday, every hour, every minute, we look for safer formulations, so our hands won’r crack but kills germs and viruses effectively. It took us only about a year plus to realize the importance of choosing a safer formulation for our hands so why does it take forever for some of us to realize this should be the same for the face and other parts of the body too?
Did you know? You may be putting up to 2.3 litres of harmful chemicals on your skin every year. Unfortunately some of us are still into fast results, hype on social media, ‘because it worked on her it is going to work on me too’, without thinking of the potential result of sensitivity and allergies, higher chances of health issues such as thyroid or hormonal abnormalities and other unwanted health risks.
Some nortorious ingredients we always hear of…
Mercury – while prohibited in many many countries, are used in skincare to whiten the skin fast. It is extremely toxic and causes skin damages that are sloooooooowwww and difficult to heal.
Parabens – used to make products last longer however may cause allergic reactions and possible increase in the risk of breast cancer.
Mineral Oil – supposedly acts as an emolient but can inhibit proper functioning of the skin.
Phthalates – a chemical compound used to make plastic PVC that can affect your kidneys, reproductive system and liver. It is also bad for the environment!
Sulphites – functions as a preservative in your hair products but can cause asthma, skin rash, stomach irritations and it destroys vitamin B1which helps convert food into energy.
