There are tons of beauty/personal care products, like lotions, oils, shampoos/conditioners, perfumes, out there on the market.

Unfortunately, the great majority of them are full of harmful chemicals. Many of these chemicals cause health problems such as allergies, cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption, nerve damage, etc. It’s really unbelievable that these products can be sold.

The general public has no idea what they are using on their bodies. If you take a careful look at the ingredients list on the products you buy, and do a little research on what each ingredient is, I’m sure you will be pretty shocked.
Fortunately, there are much healthier versions of these products available, which use much healthier, certified organic products. Certified organic body products contain pure, high quality ingredients derived from natural things such as flowers, fruit, beeswax, green tea, etc. They do not contain artificial ingredients. To be certified as organic, 95% of the product must be composed of pure organic ingredients. Any less than that, and they cannot be certified as being organic.

If you take a look at the ingredients list of a certified organic product, the majority of the list will be things you have actually heard of, not names of chemicals you’ve never heard of.
You have to really be careful these days when purchasing products and make sure the item says certified organic. If it says natural, chances are it may contain a few natural ingredients, but it also probably contains quite a few harmful chemicals. The natural ingredients are probably not organic, which means they probably contain chemicals themselves. Buying products that say certified organic is the only sure way of knowing you are buying a product free of harmful chemicals.
You are the only one who can take care of your body, and making sure you use certified organic products is a great way to do so.
