Are Your Hair Care Products Making You Sick? Find out why you should use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate Free, Sodium Laureth Sulfate Free and Paraben Free hair care products now!




Did you know that what you are putting on your hair day after day, year after year, may be doing much more harm than good? It's true!






Think about this:






Why do your eyes burn when shampoo runs into them?


Is it really "OK" that you are inhaling the hair spray that misses your hair?


What toxic ingredients are penetrating your scalp when using your shampoo and other hair products?


Your skin (including your scalp) absorbs up to 60% of the ingredients (including the synthetic and toxic chemicals) found in the cosmetics, lotions and shampoos you use on a daily basis.






Absorbing natural and organic ingredients from plant oils and waxes, mineral pigments and essential oils is a much healthier alternative!






About Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and Paraben Preservatives








Both Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and its close relative Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that are expected to "foam up". Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants. However, both come with health risks, are known skin irritants and enhance allergic responses to other toxins and allergens. Although Sodium Laureth Sulfate is somewhat less irritating than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, it cannot be metabolized by the liver and its effects are therefore much longer lasting.






Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)


SLS is used in car washes, garage floor cleaners and engine degreasers, and in about 90% of personal care products that foam. SLS is also absorbed into the body from skin application. Once absorbed, sodium lauryl sulfate mimics the activity of the Oestrogen hormone. This has many health implications and may be responsible for a variety of health problems including PMS, menopausal symptoms, lowered male fertility and increased risk of female cancers such as breast cancer, where oestrogen levels are known to be involved. SLS is frequently disguised in semi-natural cosmetics with the explanation "comes from coconut".






Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)


When combined with other chemicals, SLES can create nitrosamines, specifically 1,4-dioxane, a potent carcinogen. Dioxane readily penetrates the skin. While dioxane can be removed from products easily and economically by vacuum stripping during the manufacturing process, there is no way to determine which products have undergone this process. Labels are not required to list this information. SLES is frequently disguised in semi-natural cosmetics with the explanation "comes from coconut".






Paraben Preservatives


An estrogen mimic, parabens are preservatives with antibacterial properties. Widely used in all kinds of personal care products, paraben is usually preceded by the prefixes methyl-, ethyl-, butyl-, or propyl-. Parabens can cause allergic reactions or contact dermatitis in some people. Preservatives are one of the leading causes of contact dermatitis. There are safer practical alternatives to parabens, including vitamin E, vitamin C and grapefruit seed extract


The Facts:







The average adult uses 9 personal care products daily, exposing them to an average 126 chemicals every day.


One-third of all personal care products contain one or more ingredients classified as possible human carcinogens.


89% of 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products have NOT been evaluated for safety.
