What’s in your soap?
Ivory soap is full of hot air. Â Really. Â That’s why it floats! Â Now, air is gentle, Â but does it moisturize your skin? Â Do you feel pampered or irritated?
There is a reason the “green movement” is sweeping the country, from grass roots Farmer’s Markets to large scale industries, you are not alone if you are concerned about toxins in your environment. Â Arsenic in apple juice? Â Where does that come from.
Start reading labels for everything you put on, in and around you. Â If you can’t pronounce an ingredient on your product label, chances are it won’t benefit you to expose yourself to it. Â Know the difference between terms. Â For example “fragrance” usually means an artificial perfume while “essential oil” is the natural essence of the plant. Â Sometimes you have to look under the hood, even for simple things like shampoo, soap and dishwashing liquid. Â Do you want your shampoo and body soap to contain detergent or artificial moisturizers? Â Probably not. Â If you want to reduce or eliminate toxins in your personal environment, look for pure, natural ingredients. Â You know what they say – “garbage in, garbage out”.
