Most people do not realize that the skin can absorb in the upwards
range of 60% of what is put on it, i.e. lotions, soaps, oils, cleaners,
etc.. Depending on the ingredient and where it is placed on the body the
skin can absorb as much as 100%. Did you know that what your skin
absorbs can, and most likely will, get into your bloodstream. Think
about that the next time you use Bath & Body Works lotions and what
nots.
With the seeming influx of Cancer it has caused
me to be more aware of what I put in and on my body. Over the last few
years it has become more crucial that I learn more about the products
and ingredients I purchase on a regular basis, and how important using
all natural and organic products has become. I believe that it is
extremely important to know, understand, and be able to pronounce the
ingredients in the products that I consume internally and externally.
Now
I must admit that there are some products that I have not given up but
it is a work in progress. However, I do believe we should all do our
part in trying bring the stuff we love back to the basics, shopping
local, and supporting your farmers markets.
Pleasant Earth Soap Company would like to stress that we do not use any
artificial ingredients, hardeners, detergents, parabens, or any of the
other crap you can not pronounce that may make you break out in hives
and start convulsing on the floor. We only use essential oils, organic
herbs, organic milks, and natural colorants that your skin will love,
appreciate, and even give you a pat on the back to thank you. Can you
say that about your soap?
