parabens? what the heck are parabens? phthalates? i could barley say it much less know what it was. i wondered what was so bad about these ingredients that they would advertise not having them in their products. so i bought the kit, went home and did some research. it was like opening Pandora's box, i could not believe what i was reading. parabens are linked to cancer? phthalates disrupt the endocrine system? Then i read about sodium lauryl sulfate or SLS that is a detergent used as a degreaser , its also found in the stuff you use to clean your floors and cars? what? thats in my shampoo?? i was completely shocked , i couldn't believe that people/companies would knowingly put these toxins in products that we use every day, from makeup to body wash. i immediately began looking through my bathroom reading the ingredients on every bottle, they all contained SLS and/or parabens, they were everywhere! ahh i can't believe i've been putting this stuff on my body for years, not even knowing what was really in it or what it could cause. since then i have thrown out my old stuff that was full of toxins and replaced them with products that are 100% natural and i gotta say my skin and hair have never looked and felt so good!
so thus begins my journey into the green and to embrace more organic, natural and good for the earth products. so now is prolly a good time to mention that theses blogs are my own opinion from the information i've read and researched. no ones paying me to write this and i certainly don't want to scare anybody , just make you more informed. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!! ( yeah i totally got that from School House Rock lol ) please research this information and decide for your self what you think about it. o and here's a link to Skin deepwww.ewg.org/skindeep , its a great website that you can search any personal care products and it'll rate it based on the ingredients if its safe or not.
