Did You Know? |

DID YOU KNOW... that you may be washing your hair and brushing your teeth with brake fluid, engine degreaser or anti-freeze? YOU PROBABLY ARE AND DONT EVEN KNOW IT!!! You and your family may be exposed to potential cancer causing agents every time you enter the bathroom. Have you ever read the labels on your deodorant, shaving cream, mouthwash and toothpaste BOX??? Product warning labels are shown for a reason. It is a fact that many manufacturers use potentially harmful chemical ingredients mainly because theyre CHEAP and give the ILLUSION of working properly. But residues of more than 400 toxic chemicals have been found in human blood and fat tissue. From 1950 to 1989, the overall incidence of cancer in the U.S. has risen by 44% (smoking related incidences accounts for less than 25% of the increase). Childhood cancer is up 20%. Today, cancer is the leading cause of death for women aged 35-74. Baby Boomers have three times the cancer rate of their grandparents. In 1901 cancer was considered a rare disease. Statistics show that 1 out of 8000 persons had cancer.Today, according to the American Cancer Society, 1 out of 3 people have cancer. By the year 2000, 1 out of 2 persons will be touched by cancer. How much cancer, and other illnesses, are linked to chemical exposure? Sometimes it depends on which "expert" you listen to but even OSHA admits there are at least 880 neurotoxic (harmful to your nervous system) chemicals used in personal care products, cosmetics, and perfumes. DID YOU KNOW... That three of the most popular shaving creams combine two chemicals which together form a likely cancer causing agent? Theyre even listed right on the label. But how many people would know this? The manufacturers are betting "not many"! Our product DOES NOT have these Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and propylene glycol are two of the most common ingredients found in many personal care products BUT... DID YOU KNOW... That the journal of the American College of Toxicology reports that (SLS) is easily absorbed into your skin and builds up in your heart, liver, lungs, and brain...even if you wash it right off after using it! The Medical College of Georgia has done testing showing that SLS forms dangerous levels of cancer-causing nitrosamines when combined with several other common ingredients found in many personal care products. Your skin is the largest breathing organ of your body, and many chemicals can be absorbed through it. Nicotine and medicine skin patches wouldnt work if the skin couldnt absorb. Yet most shampoos contain SLS. DID YOU KNOW... That propylene glycol, used in many facial moisturizers and hand/body lotions, has been found to cause kidney damage and liver abnormalities in scientific and animal testing. Propylene glycol may damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin, and surface damage to the skin. Is this the best thing to be putting on your skin? We dont think so, so we dont use it! DID YOU KNOW... That KIDS bubble baths have warning labels on them? Why? It is because the sodium lauryl sulfate in them eats away at the mucous lining of the skin and causes urinary tract infections. We have a much better product that is safe to use. DID YOU KNOW... That the Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc. reports that sodium lauryl sulfate builds up in the eye tissue and may be a cause of eyesight problems in many children. You will find sodium lauryl (or laureth) sulfate in most shampoos. You wont find it in ours. DID YOU KNOW... That many children are rushed to the emergency rooms each year due to alcohol poisoning from drinking mouthwash. One of the most popular brands of mouthwash is 26.9% alcohol. In adults, high alcohol mouthwash increases the risk of oral cancer by as much as 60%. Our product uses no alcohol and it works great! CONCLUSION... In our opinion, it is little wonder that cancer is on the rise. All these harmful chemicals found in our everyday products, combined with the pollution of our air and water, have created and environment that is no longer friendly. However, there are safe alternatives that we can use. |
