Your immune system and organs are impacted daily by what you put into your body and also on your skin. Many products (soaps, lotions, toothpastes, antiperspirants) contain harmful chemicals that cause damage to your health. Hazardous ingredients like parabens, petroleum products, fluoride and aluminum are linked to numerous health problems.
Look for natural soaps and lotions which contain the smallest number of artificial ingredients and chemicals. We carry many Burt's Bees products at the office which are good natural personal care alternatives. We also sell Coconut Oil which is a great natural moisturizer for the skin. It can be used topically and internally (in cooking). Also, Standard Process makes a product called USF Ointment which is helpful for severe dry, cracked skin. We also have a new product line called "Free Of...". These bath and body products contain no parabens, sodium lauryl/laureth sulfates, petroleums, formaldehydes or formaldehyde donors, phthalates, DEAs, MEAs and TEAs, added colors or fragrances, animal products and other harmful ingredients. See more information about Free Of at their website:
http://www.freeofproducts.comFluoride is a toxic chemical. The FDA requires the following statement on the packaging of all toothpaste products. "If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek professional assistance or contact a Poison Control Center immediately. Naturally, you should keep this and all drugs out of the reach of children." Look for toothpastes that do not contain fluoride. We are now carrying a Burt's Bees Fluoride Free Toothpaste.
Antiperspirants contain aluminum (a toxic metal to your body). Switch to a natural deodorant instead of using antiperspirant. We have an effective, natural antiperspirant called "Dr. Mist" and a deodorant from Burt's Bees.
Choose products used on your skin and in your mouth wisely. Read labels and avoid products that may be harming your health. Ensure your body is receiving the best nutrition possible by eating healthy, nutrient dense foods and avoiding foods that contain white sugar, white flour and fake fats.
