Avoiding Toxicity
“We are amidst an epidemic of chronic diseases, and evidence continues to mount that synthetic chemicals contribute to these preventable conditions.“
Dr. Leo Trasande, MD, NYU
Avoiding Toxic Exposure
One of the ways to avoid toxicity and things that are harmful to our bodies is to use safe and non-toxic products.
Today I am talking about shaving cream. I am not even going to bother writing out all of the potential harmful potential ingredients etc. but will keep this simple.
If you Google “Dangers of Shaving Cream” you will find lots of info and most importantly you will see that government sites have it listed in their poison control section! That alone speaks volumes.
Our skin is the body’s largest organ and is really like a big sponge so we need to be very careful what we put on it and at the same time, what we breath into the body.
I have written a blog post about this in the past and you can read it here:
In my wellness practice as a Nutritionist and Coach, I see more and more people suffering from toxicity and the reprecussions from the toxic world that we are living in.
It is VERY important that we start to immediately lower our toxic load and by switching out your shaving cream, you can assist with lowering the load immediately.
I am a person who loves to shave my legs every time I have a bath or shower. It is just my thing that I like to do. I am going to share with you what I use and what I love!
It was actually made for babies and kids but hey I like to baby myself so it works for me.
So here are the goods on this:
Details
DNA Miracles Natural Foaming Wash & Shampoo is a natural, gentle, non-toxic body cleanser specially formulated for your baby’s delicate skin and hair. Suitable for newborn use.
Ingredients
Gentle Surfactants
Surfactants are cleansing ingredients that help clean the skin and hair by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away. Many surfactants can be harsh on the skin, resulting in mild irritation. The cleansing surfactants in DNA Miracles Natural Foaming Wash & Shampoo are derived from coconut oil, and are gentler than many of the surfactants found in other shampoos and body washes. Panthenol Panthenol is an analog to vitamin B5 and can be converted to vitamin B5 in the skin. In cosmetics, it is classified as both a skin and hair conditioning. Panthenol has been reported to bind to hair and act as a humectant, helping to moisturize and condition the hair.
Anyhow, I hope you found this helpful and if you want to lower your toxic load or help those that you love, lower their toxic load, why not baby them or yourself and try this out.
It really is delightful to use and it works perfectly as a foaming agent to shave with.
Have a great day everyone!
