Have you thought about going back to nature for pure, chemical-free creams, toothpaste, deodorant, and soaps but are not sure where to start or who to believe?
You can find out for yourself which chemicals are harmful in your current cosmetics, by visiting www.cosmeticsdatabase.com, then come back and try some of my affordable skin care products from www.SunflowerAcres.ecrater.com Grab one of your sticks of deodorant, or a tube of toothpaste, and enter the ingredients in their search bar. It is worth a little time in the long run for your long term health.
I have been on their site half the night last night (my computer is really s l o w), and before work this morning researching all the toxic chemicals in products that I used to use.
I found that Aluminum Chlorohydrate, which is the main active ingredient in a couple of deodorants we had (past tense) in the house has shown strong evidence of neurotoxicity to humans, and is classified as toxic or harmful in moderate doses. Now I make natural Deodorant with Peppermint Tea Tree, Peppermint, Orange, and Orange Tea Tree essential oils and sell it at www.SunflowerAcres.ecrater.com It is great to control foot odor also. I love it! It even softens the underarms and feet, and is great for those who have sensitive skin.
Sodium Flouride, is in two of the toothpastes we used to use is toxic if swallowed, and in one or more animal studies (terrible to test on animals!), shows brain, nervous system, or behavioral effects at very low doses. We have switched to NEEM Toothpaste for only $3.90 a 6.42oz. tube from http://africaimports.com/go.asp?agent=dianne&ic=M-P129&eq=&Tp=. It contains no harmful chemicals and makes my teeth feel really clean!
We now use the toxic toothpaste to clean stains on the sink and tub. Hey, you know me, I don't like to waste anything! Its better there, than in my mouth.
