Discover for yourself, the crazy “wild west” of personal care products ingredients in the USA. It’s almost like anything goes. Don’t be fooled or caught off guard.
I am guilty of being a hypocrite. For much of my life I naively thought that what I ate and put on my skin had zero impact on my overall health. That came to a screeching halt when my father was battling terminal cancer and our family was searching for holistic as well as traditional medicine for help. As I searched I learned about the connection between what we put on and in our bodies and how our bodies respond to those influences.
Naive as I was, I thought that spending more money on Organic and Natural foods and personal care products meant I could avoid research. It was my own “get out of jail free” card. What I learned about the personal care industry shocked me, and I have a feeling many people believe the same myths that I did. We know that skin is the largest organ in the human body and yet we slather on products full of ingredients that might just do more harm than good.
