go shopping for natural organic hair and skin care
March 31st, 2009One of the things I enjoy is to go shopping for health and wellness magazines in the local bookstore.
Last weekend, I picked up an informative Natural Health and Organic magazine in Borders and had thoroughly enjoyed the wellness articles and wide range of natural and organic products being reviewed.
Do you know that alot of the make-up and body care products have been linked to allergic reactions, birth defects, and even cancer? When I first came across the term ‘Ugly Cosmetics’, I was initially humored. Then, I realized that this is more becoming a reality as we pile more chemicals on our skin and face. In other words, we need to be real careful when we go shopping for beauty and personal care products too!
When harmful chemicals are used in cosmetics, dangers draw nigh. These compounds are not trace contaminants. You will be surprised that they are base ingredients of the product, just as flour is an ingredient in bread. Many of these chemicals are found in personal care products and can penetrate the skin and some are ingested directly after they are applied to lips or hands.
Another category of chemicals that’s becoming the media highlight of late is parabens, short for “para hydroxybenzoate.” These preservatives are widely used in cosmetics, particularly nail polish. Recent studies have implicated parabens as being associated with breast cancer, though more testing is needed. How do you think we can be ignorant when we go shopping these days?
In the next post, I’ll talk about how many people are shopping naturally and becoming more informed when they go shopping for personal care and skin care products. For now, you can check out some healthy natural products if you have to go shopping for some natural organic hair and skin care products.
