What’s Hiding in your Bathroom – Part 2 – Toxic Free Skin Care Solutions
Posted by: | CommentsDISCOVER WHAT IS HIDING IN YOUR BATHROOM!
(Part 2)
REVIEW FROM OUR LAST ARTICLE
In our first article we discussed the differences between popular buzz words used frequently in the cosmetic industry like pure, non-toxic, and natural. We contrasted the differences between these type of products and Seven Arrows Color Connection’s Toxic Free product line (http://www.toxictruth.com ). In this article we will discuss the harmful ingredients contained in the everyday products that we use and how they cause damage and harm to the biggest organ in our body … the skin.
WHAT IS IN SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS?
When you read most ingredient labels carefully you will find the majority of the ingredients listed there to be synthetic. In fact, most of the ingredients used are synthetic or artificial. Why? The answer, upon closer investigation is really very simple. The answer is money.
To plant, grow, harvest and otherwise create a truly “natural” ingredient is time consuming, labor intensive and expensive. Natural ingredients, if not carefully controlled during the growing period could contain inconsistencies in their potency. That is to say, some crops may yield higher concentrations or strengths in the plant. This would impact the formula or end result of the product and could affect the consistency which would dramatically impact the end result.
The consumers could experience one jar that you only need to use a little of and another jar that you would have to use a lot of to achieve the same result. This could become very confusing to the consumer. Natural and pure could be better but may also produce challenges.
When an ingredient is created synthetically, there are a few things that can happen. First, you have control over the potency of the ingredient. Second, you have an abundance of it and because you have created it in a laboratory in huge amounts, it becomes less labor intensive meaning it is cheaper to produce than a naturally grown ingredient. Third and probably most important to the creators is that the process to create the ingredient can be patented. A patent means that you can produce it and sell it to hundreds of manufacturers. This means you can put it in your own product and sell it, but you can also sell the basic ingredient to every other personal care manufacturer to put in their products and make money off of it. It suddenly becomes a very lucrative business.
Although we do not believe big business and industry would intentionally try to “poison” their consumers, if an ingredient has not been “proven” to be hazardous and the claims that it might be harmful are only speculative, and if the company that manufactures it is making money off of it, they will continue to do so at our expense until it becomes so obvious that they have to package with disclaimers or take it off of the market completely. A perfect case in point is the tobacco industry.
First their products were distributed without any warning labels on them at all. Then the label said they might cause a health concern and then finally the label reads a huge warning that the surgeon general has proven that the product is harmful or fatal to your health. Finally there is a warning that has some teeth in it, but how many years did it take to get there? 40? 50? No matter, it was a long time.
The sad part of this story is that there were “preliminary” warnings out there but because they could not be proven beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt, they were seen as “one sided and inaccurate”.
What kind of warnings have you heard about the ingredients in your personal care products? The parabens, sodium laurel sulfate, glycerins, sunscreens, etc. What warnings have you heard and ignored? Or, worse yet, what warnings have you NOT heard? What is being said about the products (or ingredients in the products) that you are using? How “safe” are they? For more information on some of these ingredients and the damaging effects they have on your body, visit www.helpme.com.
WHAT CAN WE DO?
Good News. With all of this information available to us, we may begin to think: “What’s the Use?” Or worse yet; “There’s nothing I can do”. Both of these statements would be incorrect and self defeating. There is plenty that you can do.
One of the purposes of this treatise is to inform and educate consumers of the actions they can take to safe guard their health. Ignorance is the worst excuse, whereas knowledge is power. The information offered here will help to arm you, the consumer, and make you wiser in your purchases.
The information in this article is helpful, however, the real remedy lies within you and the amount of education you are able to receive. The first place you should begin to discover what is really invading your body can be found on each and every label.
We read labels when it comes to food. We count carbs, grams of fat, cholesterol, etc. We are becoming a very food savvy generation and we are not afraid to ask for “pure” bottled water with our “natural” veggie burger and fresh garden salad with the fat free dressing on the side.
In other words, when it comes to food, we know what is good for us and what is not and we are not afraid or timid when it comes to giving instructions to restaurant owners and waitresses on what we will take into our bodies and what we will not.
WHAT GOES INSIDE?
The skin is the largest organ in our body. Each square centimeter is filled with:
• 6,000,000 cells
• 5,000 sensory points
• 100 sweat glands
• 15 sebaceous glands
Your skin IS the largest organ of your body, consisting of approximately 3000 sq. ft. Every square inch of your skin contains oil glands, sweat glands, thousands of nerve endings, millions of cells and several feet of small blood vessels.
The main functions of the skin are to keep out foreign substances, protect the underlying tissues from injury, maintain adequate moisture in the tissues, regulate body heat and temperature, and act as a receptor organ for the sensations of touch and pain, and aid in the elimination of water and waste materials.
In order to remain healthy and vibrant the skin must take in oxygen and nourishment, eliminate waste materials and reproduce new cells. One of the main functions of the skin is to protect the underlying tissues from bacteria or disease. Therefore, the surface of the skin is slightly acidic, which protects us against bacteria and environmental pollution.
When considering the skin and its functions, one of the most important things to understand is that the skin is an organ that absorbs chemicals. It is especially susceptible to petroleum chemicals.
It used to be thought in the 1960’s and early 70’s that the skin was an impenetrable shield. Many believed it was like an armadillo shell and that it would keep everything out. Modern research, however, has proven this is not the case.
The skin is an oil based organ and has an affinity to oil based substances such as petroleum. Research substantiates that these various ingredients are absorbed into and through the skin and that there are health risks associated with most cosmetic personal care, oral care, and household ingredients. Further medical research has established to what degree different substances can penetrate the skin.
Modern medicine delivers drugs internally through a process called trans dermal application. What that means is that you put a product onto your skin topically and because of its molecular structure, it is able to migrate through the skin, use the body’s own natural fluids to penetrate to the inner organs delivering the medication necessary to achieve the desired result.
This is a wonderful break through for modern medicine, but if they can deliver medication or other substances to the organs through a topical application, how many other chemicals or harmful ingredients are we absorbing into our internal organs every day? Is it any wonder that so many people are suffering from “new” and different types of disorders? Wouldn’t it be possible for us to be “poisoning” ourselves slowly without even knowing it?
The very same type of molecules that are used to make drug patches, like for motion sickness, breaking the nicotine habit or birth control are formulated to the very same molecular size that a PEG is made from. PEG stands for polyethylene glycol. Each number behind the PEG on a label indicates the molecular weight. The low numbers up to 400 may cause hives and aczema. PEG is made by ethoxylating Propylene Glycol and may contain dangerous levels of dioxins.
When you read the ingredient labels on the back of your personal care products, look for those ingredients that are labeled as a PEG. When you discover these ingredients, you will be looking at something that is designed to penetrate the skin. You will be looking at something that has also been designed to emulsify. This emulsification process takes place inside your skin using your own oil to emulsify with water which is, binding up the inside of your skin so that it doesn’t operate right.
Now you have a double problem. 1. Your skin doesn’t work correctly because it is bound up inside and, even worse yet, 2. You are delivering to your sensitive, tender, internal organs those ingredients that may deliver damage and even cause the organ to stop working altogether.
Because of the advances in the chemical industry, we are now able to make ingredients with a molecular structure so fine that it can penetrate the skin. Now, instead of the skin being the first line of defense and protecting the inside of the body from an invasion of harmful ingredients, it has become a “carrier” organ that assists in delivering these harmful substances right to the very organs it was designed to protect! What is the end result? For many, it is weakness, poor health and in some instances, even death.

It is a scientifically proven fact that our skin absorbs the ingredients that are applied to it in topical applications such as creams and lotions. These ingredients find their way till our bloodstream.
Thus, it becomes of paramount importance that the body care product that you choose should be of equally high quality as your face cream. It should have a high concentration of active natural ingredients. An organic natural body care product is the best solution to overcome all skin problems and achieve young and beautiful skin.
Here are 7 essential ingredients to look for in the best organic natural body care product –
1) Grape seed oil — it is one of the best antioxidants. It creates an invisible barrier on the skin which keeps the dirt and grime out and locks in the essential moisture. It is rich in linoleic acid and other essential nutrients that are vital for skin health. It reduces stretch marks and prevents premature skin aging.

Question and Answer
Who should be responsible for toxic body care products leaching into the environment?
More and more research points to destruction of our environment from body care products. Who should be financially responsible for cleaning it up? Companies who make them, consumers who use them, or all of us through taxation for government clean-up?
Published July 11, 2007:
Chemicals found in household products like antibacterial soap and plastic bottles are found in sewage water that is discharged into San Francisco Bay, posing a threat to wildlife and humans, according to new data….The inspectors found three types of chemicals — phthalates, bisphenol A and triclosan. All are suspected of interfering with hormone systems of humans and wildlife…"We're involved because we know that these compounds are out there, and we cannot treat them in the wastewater stream," said Charles Hardy, EBMUD spokesman.

We Have Found a Safe Organic Natural Body Care Product
Posted by: | Comments
Searching for an organic natural body care product? Companies can use the words organic, natural and hypoallergenic, regardless of the ingredients that they contain. The term doctor tested and recommend is another of the unregulated phrases. You may as well call them sales gimmicks.
It is no doubt that the use of naturally occurring oils, botanical extracts and similar substances are better for your skin’s health and the environment, as well. It is just that finding a product that actually contains them is difficult.
The US FDA recommends that consumers carefully read the list of ingredients, but that’s difficult for most of us. How many people know that Butyrospermum Parkii is Shea Butter? What’s alpha-tocopherol, ubiquinone, petrolatum or oxybenzone?
Cosmetic manufacturers are required to use the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients on their labels. Most consumers find that difficult to read or understand. There is now way that I could completely “translate” all of the ingredients that you might find on the label of an organic natural body care product.
In the past, I have listed some “clues”, such as warning labels to look for, but lately, it seems that nearly everything must be viewed with caution. California has always been ahead of the game when it comes to environmental and consumer protection.
They recently sued four manufacturers of “organic” body cleansers, because they were found to be contaminated with high levels of cancer-causing Dioxane. The companies must correct the problem, include a warning label that the products cause cancer, and/or pay a fine.
But, what about anyone who bought that organic natural body care product? The whole thing is scary and saddening, but I do have a solution.
I have found a company that I believe in. They make some of the best vitamin supplements in the world and now they have a complete line of skincare products. I believe in them, because they test each raw ingredient for contaminants. They check the final batches, as well. This should be standard practice for manufacturers, but it isn’t. Someone has to make them aware of a problem and it is usually independent consumer safety advocates that initiate the process.
If they started with the safest ingredients, checked them for contaminants and followed up by testing the completed batch, then they could be sure that their customers were safe. So, before you buy an organic natural body care product, check out the manufacturer’s website. Find out what testing protocol they follow. You’ll be safer and happier in the long run.
Look for alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10). Avoid petrolatum, which is white petroleum jelly. It causes greasiness and clogs the pores. Avoid oxybenzone, a sunscreen that has been proven to cause damage to DNA within the cells.
Vitamin E and COQ10 help delay the signs of age, as do other nutrients, when properly combined and emulsified. So, that’s my advice for finding an organic natural body care product that is truly safe and effective. Please take a look at my website now.

What To Look For In A Real Organic Natural Body Care Product
Posted by: | CommentsHow do you know if an organic natural body care product will actually work? The problem is that organic and natural are used all the time as marketing gimmicks. So, it is difficult to ascertain whether or not it actually is what is says it is. If you educate yourself on the specific natural ingredients that make your skin look and feel healthy then you will be able to make a more educated purchase.
Many of the products today contain ingredients that could be potentially harmful to your skin. One of the worst ingredients is Dioxane. This potentially cancer-causing agent has been used in products in the past.
Another ingredient that should not be used in any organic natural body care product is parabens or preservatives. Preservatives are not required in skin care products. They are added to give the product a longer shelf life, which means it stays on the store shelf until someone buys it. These additives are also potentially cancer-causing agents.
There is a small niche skin care company located in New Zealand that is manufacturing some cutting edge organic natural body care products that contain specific natural ingredients that will do wonders for your skin. They test all their ingredients to make sure there are no contaminants. In addition, they also manufacture some very effective natural supplements as well.
Let us look at some of the specific natural ingredients used in the safest organic natural body care product. Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10 help to reduce the signs of aging and help to stimulate the re-production of vital skin proteins.
Any organic natural body care product worth its weight should contain Cynergy TK. Cynergy TK is a substance that is derived from the wool of sheep in New Zealand. It contains functional keratin, which is instrumental in boosting the production of vital skin proteins. These skin proteins help keep our skin supple and pliable. In addition, they help to reduce the signs of aging.

Question and Answer
Beauty Care?
What treatments are there for hair loss in women?
Ask your doctor about minoxidil (the generic name for Rogaine.) This is over-the-counter and available in 2% and 5% concentrations. It's something of a nuisance to apply but it helps conserve hair and may even grow some. Propecia is a drug that helps men retain their hair but unfortunately has no use for women. Propecia is not safe for women of childbearing age and it just doesn't work for older women. This is unfortunate but, for the moment, this is the situation. Surgical procedures like hair transplants can be useful for some women as well as men to "fill in" thinned-out areas.

Useful Personal Beauty Care Tips
Posted by: | CommentsSkin and beauty care indeed is extremely important as it enhances self confidence, boosts personality and furthers career prospects. Makeup is essential to conceal imperfections, while playing up best features and beauty spots.
Feel nice, feel beautiful and that’s what everyone will see. Try to appear as good as possible. There are several ways to live beautifully without making it into an obsession.
To appear and feel good, there are helpful tips for the beauty conscious.
Need to dress quickly after-work for that lovely dinner date or party? Well you can have on your makeup in a jiffy. Slip into that sexy black number and you look great to go.
Switching from morning to evening look? Apply more eye shadow, slightly darker on eyebrow bone and at the outer edge. If you wish, add a hint of iridescence. Line under your bottom eyelashes using black or brown pencil. Smudge using a cotton swab to create a smoky eye. Apply second coat of mascara. Apply a trace of shine to the lips. Use a darker shade lip pencil to enhance your lower lip pout in the middle of the lower lip line.
If your hair texture drives you crazy, change shampoos. At times, a minor change in ingredients will alter your hair’s appearance.
Foundation is meant to craft a clear, perfect, flawless palette where you outline and accentuate your best features.
What do you want people to focus on when they see you? If your beauty lies in your face, sport: a great makeup job, a lovely haircut, a becoming color near the face, striking earrings, and a pleasing hair color shade.
Your hair will appear glossier after a final, color-wash!
A brilliant red lipstick will make teeth appear yellow, but with a blue-red one, teeth appear whiter. Bear this tip in mind when you search for that red lipstick.
Never apply mascara that’s non-waterproof on lower lashes as it tends to smudge into the under-eye cream and eye shadow. It’s a good idea to use mascara that’s waterproof on lower eyelashes and one that’s not waterproof on upper eyelashes.
Always evenly file you nails so that they are all of uniform length. It looks better to have short and even nails than having them in different lengths. Apply nail polish to conceal your short nails.
When down at the beach don’t wear makeup. Just go for the natural look and apply some lip balm and sunscreen to go with your waterproof mascara.
If nails are not kept neat they will lend a sloppy appearance. Ensure you have well-groomed ones by making use of a cuticle scissors, emery board, polish remover, base coat, hand cream, and your fave color.
Highlight hair for instant appeal.
Style implies your clothes look right on you, your makeup is discreet, your accessories add refinement to your look and your beauty lets your personal allure to shine though.
For the right eye shadow method for any eye shape apply a faint trace all over the eyelid. Stroke a medium-tone eye shadow in the crook and sweep it around 1/3rd towards the middle. Use a medium shade to line the crease, blend lightly and you’re finished!
When applying eye shadow gently blow on the brush prior to starting to apply it on the lid. This way you can save precious time by not needing to clean a lot of shadow off your cheek after you’ve finished applying it.
A beauty regimen is very necessary! Develop your own regimen and adhere to it! Use a moisturizer on your face, apply a hand and foot cream, shampoo regularly, make sure you have a manicure and pedicure done, plus a brow wax so as retain their shape as often as you can.
Spray on your favorite fragrance to uplift your mood and that of others near you too.
Never be scared of changing products. While you prefer a certain cosmetic, technology is constantly introducing new products which may be better than what you use currently. Experiment.
Everybody requires a facial! It will clean, soften, and refresh your skin. It’s extremely relaxing when getting a facial done.
A light tone foundation always makes for an excellent choice rather than a dark foundation, which may make your face look mucky.
To highlight your eyes, trace the outer 2/3rds of the eye, both top and bottom, and then blot the lines so as to moderate the effect. Based on what look you wish to flaunt, you can choose Purples, Blues, Charcoal, Gold, Brown, or Black.
Purchase only foundation that has sun block.
Always keep in mind that a wow haircut wipes out bad hair days.
Pamper yourself by following these beauty tips and see yourself glow.

Natural Organic Body Care Products Are Possible to Find
Posted by: | CommentsFinding a truly organic natural body care product can be tough. The manufacturers are not required to prove that the ingredients are naturally occurring and if they are, they are not required to prove that the farmer avoided the use of herbicides or pesticides. Since, they are not foods. The applicable regulations are quite different from those required for organic foodstuff.
The better manufacturers have websites. They walk you through the manufacturing processes and explain why their products are better than others. You have to pay more for organics. You should understand why you are paying extra.
The manufacture should test the raw ingredients for contaminants and purchase them from a reliable farmer. The final batches should be tested to insure that no contamination occurred during processing and that’s a step in which most companies are lacking.
Recently, the state of California was made aware of testing conducted in part by a group of public safety advocates. The group was concerned that an organic natural body care product containing ethylene oxide might also contain dioxane, a substance that is listed in California as a known human carcinogen. Dioxane sometimes forms when ethylene oxide is used to emulsify ingredients.
Other health organizations list the substance as a “probable” human carcinogen. There’s a problem with that listing. To some health organizations, a substance can only be listed as a “known” human carcinogen if there were studies involving human subjects. Other than observational studies, which include groups that are and those that are not exposed to a substance like chlorine, there is no way to conduct a study proving that something causes cancer in humans. It would be unethical.
But, substances that cause cancer in laboratory animals are likely to be cancerous in humans. Many factors come into play, of course, including genetics. But, when it comes to dioxane, there is no doubt that it is at the very list a toxin and an organic natural body care product should not be contaminated with it.
Four different cleansing products were found to be contaminated with high levels of dioxane. When the manufacturers were notified, only one of them said that they would make efforts to correct the problem. None of the four were aware that dioxane contamination was a problem and the state did not force a recall. They are likely to be fined and may need to correct the problem or else label the package as cancer-causing, but the cleansers are still on the market.
The best organic natural body care product is designed for use after cleansing. It contains ingredients that are moisturizing, nourishing and counter the signs of aging. It contains natural antibacterial agents that help prevent infection and stimulate the immune system.
If you are not using a moisturizer after you shower, you should start. Just make sure that you buy it from a reliable manufacturer. I wouldn’t say that the well-known brands are reliable. Hopefully, the information in this article gave you something to think about, but there is always more to learn about choosing an organic natural body care product.

A properly chosen organic natural body care product can work wonders for your skin health and rejuvenation. Here is your inside guide on how you can find the best body care product for yourself.
It might have occurred to you that even after months of applying well known and expensive body care products, you did not achieve the desired results. This is because majority of skincare manufacturers do not keep the interests of consumers in mind. They are just concerned about maximising their profits.
Even in natural organic body care products, you might find synthetic chemicals like parabens and mineral oils. They are very harmful and are known to cause various adverse health consequences.
Parabens interfere in the functioning of the endocrine system and cause cancer. Mineral oils cause acne eruptions, allergies, rashes, irritation and photosensitivity. They cause premature aging of skin.
On the other hand, you can find body care products which contain collagen as an ingredient. This is a marketing strategy and you should be watchful of such products. The manufacturers are taking an unfair advantage of public misconception about the role of collagen in skin.
Scientific evidence proves that the collagen molecule in topical creams and lotions is too large to penetrate the skin. Therefore, such body care products turn out to be ineffective and useless. They are a sheer waste of your hard earned money. You should avoid them.
The right approach to achieve a wrinkle free, healthy and young skin is to look for organic natural body care products which contain the best natural ingredients that have been scientifically proven in their skin rejuvenation and anti-aging capabilities.
Phytessence Wakame is one such amazing natural ingredient. It is an extract of special type of Japanese sea kelp. It is one of the best kept Japanese skincare beauty secrets. It has been a part of the Japanese diet for many centuries. It is one of the prime reasons why Japanese women have a beautiful complexion even in their mature ages.
It is rich in minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and calcium (its calcium content is 15 times greater than milk). It improves moisture retentivity in skin and soothes inflammation. It protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation.
One of the unique roles played by Phytessence Wakame is that it inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase. This is the dreaded enzyme that breaks down the vital hyaluronic acid in the skin.
Hyaluronic acid is the “glue” that binds together the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. These are essential to keep our skin firm, elastic, supple and toned. Phytessence Wakame preserves hyaluronic acid and reverses the process of aging. It makes the skin smooth and creamy complexioned.
