Why choose organic skin care?

Our skin absorbs up to 60% of what we put on it. This includes the toxic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers sprayed on products used in skin care. Many things that we apply to our skin show up in our blood stream within twenty minutes. Once in our bodies, our fatty tissue stores these chemicals, leading to numerous health problems. Many Environmental Protection Agency approved pesticides were registered long before extensive research linked these chemicals to cancer and other diseases. Over 400 pesticides are currently licensed for use on North America’s foods and over 2.5 billion pounds are dumped on crop lands, forests, lawns, and fields annually. There can be anywhere from four to twenty-five different pesticides used on conventionally grown produce with tolerances set for only individual pesticides, without consideration of the combined effect of multiple pesticides in the conventionally grown products we consume. Using organic skin care ingredients helps to lower the risk of allergies, irritation and illness associated with the absorption of these toxins into our bodies.

Another advantage of using organic skin care ingredients is the higher antioxidant level found in organic fruit. Antioxidants are necessary to healthy skin because they combat free radicals. Free radicals are byproducts that are formed when oxygen is used by the body. This leads to damage in the structure of our skin and the weakening of its cellular structure. Free radicals also alter our DNA, which results in premature aging.
