Toxic Ingredients

Before reading this, I suspect you will think "Ah they’re just trying to frighten us and sell more product" NOT true. While, yes, we are running a business it is also important to us to let people know what is out there and then THEY can make up their own minds from an informed point of view.. There is SO much information out there, but we’re all bombarded by adverts and celebrities endorsing products, that a type of mindset steps in – "Well, if it’s not on telly, must be rubbish or a scam". This was said to me not that long ago!!

A couple of testimonials are here and I urge you to have a look as another way to see what power these products have

The Details:

Despite the fact the Department of Health in the UK and the FDA in the USA, have issued warnings in the past, serious concerns remain about the long–term safety of the known toxic chemicals in personal care toiletries we all use.

"What could be more healthy than a refreshing body wash, a nourishing shampoo, a minty fresh toothpaste and a moisturizing facial cream? Commercials, magazine advertisements and billboards bombard us with the message that soaping and scrubbing, exfoliating and moisturizing are only beneficial to our health."

"Too many of the toiletries and cosmetics we use are hazardous carcinogenic cocktails of synthetic chemicals. Most of the chemicals which go into our toiletries are no different from the harsh toxic chemicals used in industry."

"Far from enhancing health they pose a daily threat to it!"

• For example:
  • Propylene glycol (PG) is a wetting agent and solvent used in make up, hair care products, deodorants, after shave and is often found in toothpaste.It’s also the main ingredient in antifreeze and brake fluid.
  • Polyethylene glycol (PEG) A related agent found in most skin cleansers, is a caustic used to dissolve grease...the same substance you find in oven cleaners.
  • Isopropyl and Alcohol A poisonous solvent and denaturant (altering the structure of other chemicals). Found in hair colour rinses, body rubs, hand lotions, after shave lotions, fragrances, is also used as a solvent and found in wood finishing lacquers.
  • Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) Used in toothpastes, shampoos and just about every personal cleansing product on the market. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is a harsh detergent commonly used as an engine degreaser and garage floor cleaner.
  • Formaldehyde Used in bubble bath, shampoos, moisturising lotions and many cosmetics as an inhibiting agent against carcinogenic nitrosamine production. Yet this chemical is a known carcinogen in it’s own right!It is also used in vaccines as a preservative and given to our children for goodness sake! Formaldehyde is a powerful and poisonous toxic substance! It readily penetrates the skin and can cause serious future health concerns and often sensitises individuals to other chemicals. It is commonly used in agriculture as a foot rot treatment for sheep and cattle and as embalming fluid to preserve bodies.
    • Safety warning labels advise users to wear protective clothing, face mask and gloves. If spilt on the skin to wash off with copious quantities of water and to seek medical advice! Accidental spillage on skin may cause irreversible health effects! If swallowed induce vomiting and seek immediate medical help!

"Some of the most dangerous chemicals we put on our bodies in the name of beauty belong to a family of hormone–disrupting chemicals, which are water soluble ammonia derivatives."
