Toxic Products~The Truth

Personal Products and the Toxin Contained Within 

You wake up in the morning anticipating the day.  You shower, shampoo, condition, lotion, use deodorant, then if you’re so inclined, you put your make-up on, spray your hair in place, and get ready to head out the door.

For most of us I described a fairly typical routine in our daily regimen.  You may not even realize what you’ve just done.  Most of us never will.

You see, as unfortunate as it may seem, according to the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), “Cosmetic firms are responsible for substantiating the safety of their products and ingredients before marketing.”

What does that mean for us?

Where the FDA is concerned the word “Cosmetics” covers a wide range of products…”articles intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled or sprayed on, …or otherwise applied to the human body…for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness or altering the appearances.”  This list could include, toothpaste, shampoo, deodorants, moisturizer, perfumes, lipsticks, facial make-up, and hair dyes.

Although ads share all the accolades of these products, they often neglect to warn us of the dangers that may lurk within.

One group championing the cause for safer cosmetics is the Environmental Working Group (ewg.org).  EWG utilizes an internet based directory which contains products, listing and rating, their potential for harmful toxins. (cosmeticdatabase.com)

Some harsh toxins to watch for:

Phthalates:  Utilized in shampoos and hairsprays.  Known to disrupt the hormone system and regulated by the EPA.

Oxybenzone:  Used in sunscreens, (lip balms, lipsticks, and moisturizer)…linked to hormone disruption, allergies, cell damage according to the CDC.

Triclosan:  A pesticide which disrupts hormones.  Found in liquid hand soap, children’s toys, and toothpaste.

Parabens:  Found in the family of widely used preservatives in thousands of cosmetics.  It, too, disrupts the hormone system.

Obviously we can’t avoid all contact with toxins.  They are a part of our world, but we can take steps to learn and choose safer products.

We have found that Sonoran Bloom Nopalea, because of it’s formulation to help the body cleanse itself of toxins and fight inflammation, is an amazing step in righting some of the wrongs done through absorbing toxins into our system.

Through the use of Betalains, Nopalea enters your body and then helps reduce inflammation and detoxify your cells.  The wellness stories on this product have been amazing.
