Why Use Organic Skin Care: an inconvenient truthYou are slowly being poisoned, although most of us don't even know it. The unfortunate truth is that most mass produced skin care that promises you healthy skin contains many harmful, toxic ingredients. The synthetic ingredients used to thicken, bind, stabilize, add fragrance and lengthen shelf life compromise our immune system and damage our health. At the low end, synthetic ingredients merely cause dryness, irritation or allergies. On the high end, ingredients have been shown to contribute to birth defects, central nervous system disorders, hormone imbalance, even cancer. Our skin is the largest organ of our body, 21 square feet for the average adult. It provides a barrier for germs, gives us shape, regulates temperature, has millions of nerve endings and continuously eliminates toxins. It is also our most resilient organ. Just think of the thousands of times you have cut, burned, scratched and it miraculously healed itself. Unfortunately, most of us aren't taught proper skin care, and the information from most cosmetic companies is designed to sell products rather than educate. The skin literally soaks up the ingredients of every soap, cream and deodorant we use; these substances end up in our bloodstream and affect our health. The reasons “big-business” cosmetic companies use harmful ingredients are unfortunately tied to profits. Synthetic ingredients cost less, prolong shelf life, control bacteria growth and contain "fragrances" from synthetic perfume that harms our immune system. Many companies have jumped on the "natural bandwagon" offering token amounts of poor quality essential oils and other "natural" ingredients.
