Collection: Clean & Organic Skin/Hair Care
It is much more vital than most realize to avoid the myriad of toxic chemicals that are PREVALENT in our personal care products today. Your skin is the largest organ of your body and since it is porous, it absorbs whatever you put on it. A study published in the American Journal of Public Health looked into the skin's absorption rates of chemicals found in drinking water. It showed that the skin absorbed an average of 64% of total contaminant dosage. Jul 8, 2016
Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde-Releasing Preservatives ( Just 1 common ingredient)
Formaldehyde is a toxic, colorless, strong-smelling gas which is added to personal care products and can also be released from preservatives in them. It has been shown to cause cancer; skin irritation; burning sensations in the eyes, nose and throat; coughing; nausea and wheezing.
Formaldehyde and the preservatives can also be found in:
Nail polish, Shampoos and liquid baby soaps, Nail glue, Eyelash glue, Hair gel, Hair-smoothing products, Body soap, Body wash, Color cosmetics.
The use of formaldehyde in cosmetics and toiletries is banned in Japan and Sweden, and it’s restricted in personal care products in the EU. There are concentration restrictions in Canada, but none in the U.S.
It has always been of utmost concern to us here at The Berry Good Elixir Company to avoid these toxic ingredients in everything we create.
Come and see why we here at The Berry Good Elixir Company use and recommend our organic personal care products above all others.
