By Carolin 

chemistryChecking the ingredients in our food is relatively easy.
1. something you cannot pronounce and sounds as if it belongs in a chemistry class = NOT GOOD
2. anything you would not use in your own kitchen = NOT GOOD

When it comes to . It’s a bit more tricky.

The first time you read the ingredients label on a lotion or shampoo you are not likely to recognize one single item.

But this doesn’t make it less important. Checking your skin care for is vital. Read this translation that  Narelle Chenery made for us and you will understand:

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (coconut): Composed of 4 known carcinogens: Formaldehyde, Dioxane, Ethylene Oxide, Acetaldehyde

Cocoamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine: Causes redness and stinging of skin & eyes. Toxicological properties have NOT been investigated at all.

Triethanolamine (TEA): Severely irritating to body tissues, Corrosive to the eyes. Reacts with nitrosating agents to form nitrosamines, which are Carcinogenic

    I’d prefer skin products with natural ingredients. Most artificial ingredients are harmful.

    I really enjoyed the article posted regarding harmful ingredients in personal care products. It was very informative and I believe you are absolutely correct about the negative impact that these chemicals can have on our bodies. I have discovered several amazing reports to validate your position, and I think you would find the information fascinating. I would love to discuss this further with you. Please email me at your earliest convenience at tdeann24@gmail.com. One report in particular is very serious in nature and was documented on CNN. I’ll send you a link.
