Research has shown that up to 60% of what we put on to our skin is absorbed into the bloodstream. This is why medication in the form of patches, like Nicotine or Hormone replacement, works so well!
The synthetic ingredients present in a lot of cosmetic brands today are absorbed into the bloodstream in the same way. This is worrying as there has a been suggestion that with prolonged or heavy use, some of these may be carcinogenic (causing cancer) or interfere with vital hormone regulation. They are also more likely to cause allergic reactions to those with sensitive skin and in babies and children.
By choosing Natural and Organic in our beauty and personal care products we can at least reduce the amount of harmful chemicals we and our families are absorbing, thus contributing to a healthier lifestyle.
Also, it is well known that Organic farming is much less harmful than non-organic, as it produces less pollution and toxic waste. So you'll be helping the environment too by buying products made from organic plant oils!
"After watching a programme on the BBC I got so concerned by the synthetic and chemical ingredients in what I used to buy that I decided to go natural. I was so pleased when I found your site. Not only were your products 100% pure and organic but they had none of the nasty chemicals like Parabens that you find in deodorants and other things on the shelves today. I have total peace of mind using Essentially Natural products", Ann Cannon, Lancashire.
