Personal care products can throw your body out of balance.  If you are using products that contain harmful ingredients, your skin, scalp, and mouth are absorbing those harmful things into your blood stream.  Your liver can become overtaxed and sluggish trying to filter these out of your body.  Your body doesn’t know what to do with synthetics, dyes, or the ingredients listed below.   Your body can become imbalanced, an unhealthy state of being.

Harmful Ingredients Found In Most Personal Care Products:

Parabens

 Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum

Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES)

Acrylamide

Propylene glycol

Phenol carbolic acid

Dioxane

Toluene

This is a short list, and these were grandfathered into the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) list many years ago by the FDA.  Today there are organizations working for us to have harmful ingredients removed from our personal care products.  It’s a long journey as you can imagine and progress is being made.

Until your everyday brands create safer products for our daily use, we do have some health conscious companies paving the way.  I have found several places to purchase healthy skin and mouth care products.

For mouth care I use YoungLiving Dentarome Ultra, and Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash .  Both  include powerful essential oils that are known to get rid of bad bacteria.  The toothpaste also removes stains for a brighter smile, and can be found at:

I also purchase some skin care products from YoungLiving including the Satin Facial Scrub Mint,  Sandlewood Moisture Cream, Sacred Mountain Bar Soap, to name a few.   AromaGuard Mountain Mint Deodorant is my choice for underarm protection.

YoungLiving is also my place to purchase therapuetic essential oils, but that’s another subject for another time.

I also have found organic and no harmful ingredients skin care at:

www.healthyskinwithsusan.com 

At this website you will find beautifully scented with all natural ingredients skin products for your skin type.

You should consider changing from harmful personal care products to non-toxic personal care products.  Once you begin using these healthy alternatives you will notice how much better you feel when using them in the shower, after the shower, and at the bathroom sink.  You will also enjoy the sense of well-being you have throughout the day just by using products that create a higher vibration in and around you.
