Organic Cosmetics and Skin Care
- Are you tired all the time?
- Have your joints started to ache?
- Is your memory deteriorating?
- Has your blood pressure suddenly gone up?
- Is middle age spread creeping up on you?
Evidence suggests many of our medical illnesses are compounded by the continual use
of chemicals and toxins. According to the Health-Report website the damage being
done to our immune systems by synthetic chemicals is incredible.
Chemicals are found in virtually everything we eat and everything we use and they
all have an effect on us. Just look at the Greenpeace chemical home to see for yourselves.
What is Organic?
- Well, organic farming cares for the environment without relying on synthetic chemicals.
Rather than using pesticides, farmers prevent pests by planting a diverse range of
crops, using a rotation system and NO artificial pesticides, herbicides, hormones
or growth promotants. These are all questionable for maintaining a healthy body.
- The organic farmer believes the food it provides should be as Mother Nature intended
and strives hard to conserve natural ecosystems.
- In organic personal care products only minimal processing is permitted and only natural
or traditional ingredients are allowed. There should be NO synthetic chemicals, unnatural
dyes, colourings, flavourings or other additives.
As the number of people concerned
about toxins in our environment grows more companies are jumping on the organic bandwagon.
But
what does natural and organic mean when we see it on a product label and how do we
know if what we are buying really is natural and organic?
Organic - "grown and cultivated
without the use of chemicals" - but is it?
Do you know the difference between "Certified
Organic" and "Certified Organic to Food Standards"? There's a big difference!
Many
products labelled “natural” and “organic” aren't always what they seem. If you see
“derived from.....”(some natural substance) then a chemical process has taken place
and it is no longer pure and formed by nature. It is not “natural” and therefore
not necessarily safe. Just think about vodka. That's derived from potatoes but there's
a big difference between the two!
Similarly, “organic” should mean grown and cultivated
without the use of chemicals, but the chemistry definition means ‘a compound that
contains a carbon atom’. Since carbon is found in anything that has ever lived, certain
companies can get away with using synthetic chemicals and still call their products
“organic”.
You should always check the labels for the ingredients and look out for
the internationally recognised organic logos.

Our Skin
As a result of mercury poisoning caused by
my dental amalgam I have difficulty in removing chemicals from my body. Many people
will have the same problem although not necessarily because of their teeth.
Unfortunately
we live in a chemical soup and toxins are everywhere. You probably check the labels
on food to see what you are eating but what about everyday personal products like
shampoo, deodorant and cosmetics? Do you just assume because they are on sale at
your supermarket or drug store they are safe?
I did but not any more.
You see I discovered
that government does not require cosmetics and other personal care products to be
tested for safety. Further, the industry’s own safety review panel has assessed only
11 per cent of the 10,500 ingredients contained in health and beauty products available
in stores today.
On the FDA's website, it states “Cosmetics and their ingredients
are not required to undergo approval before they are sold. Manufacturers can use
any ingredient, except for 10 prohibited substances, without government review.”
So what about the other 10,490?
Our skin is the largest eliminatory organ in the
body. It is a two-way membrane. Toxins are eliminated through the skin via perspiration
and absorbed through the skin, into the body's systemic circulation, through hair
follicles and sebaceous glands (not through sweat glands). One square inch of skin
contains 65 hairs, 100 sebaceous glands, and 650 sweat glands.
That means if you
put a chemical compound on your skin your body is likely to absorb it. You’ve got
a lot of hair follicles and sebaceous glands.
Low exposure for a long time for someone
who doesn't remove chemicals well means they accumulate and that leads to health
problems.
The bottom line is the more things you use, the more chemicals you absorb.
Cosmetic manufacturers are not supposed to claim that their products penetrate our
skin. If they did (the products would then be labelled a ‘drug’ and be governed by
much stricter regulations.
This is both good and bad:-
Good – your skin can be nourished
from the outside with wonderful ingredients
Bad – some cosmetic manufacturers put
certain things in their cosmetics that would never be allowed to be taken
orally. They can still be absorbed into our system through the skin though.
Fortunately, there is a company which sells Certified Organic skin care products
which are 100% Synthetic Chemical Free.
See our Natural Skin Care page for more information.
The
Environmental Working Group (EWG)which is a non-profit,research based, consumer advocacy
group has developed an online safety guide with in depth information on nearly 15,000
name brand products. The electronic database it has compiled is cross-linked it with
37 toxicity or regulatory databases.
When EWG analysed their database results they
found:
More than one-third of all personal care products contain at least one ingredient
linked to cancer.
57 percent contain “penetration enhancer” chemicals that can drive
other ingredients faster and deeper into the skin to the blood vessels below.
70
percent of all products contain ingredients that may contain harmful impurities such
as known carcinogens, according to FDA or industry reviews.
Impurities are legal
and unrestricted for the personal care products industry. As you can see health and
beauty do not always go hand in glove which is why I seek out 100% synthetic chemical
and toxin free cosmetics and skin care products.
I’ve discovered a range made from
purely natural organic ingredients, many of which are Certified Organic to Food Standards,
so you could even eat them although that's not my recommendation. However, if you
would like to find out more and think about your health as well as your beauty then
