Your skin is a physical barrier to the pollutants in the atmosphere. When you use products on your skin such as cosmetics, lotions, shampoos, etc… the ingredients in these products come into direct contact with your body’s largest organ; your skin. Your skin absorbs the chemicals in products, directly into your bloodstream. Parabens (preservatives)-linked to cancer- are derived from petroleum and help to maintain the freshness of most products. Currently, manufacturers add parabens to products to allow a minimum of 3 years shelf life. Why? the parabens kill any bacteria that could potentially enter the product. If these chemical ingredients can kill the bacterial cells, what are they doing to your skin cells? The effects of chemicals and other synthetic ingredients in products may lead to allergic reactions, causing rashes and minor skin irritation, to more significant problems. Luckily, there are alternatives to chemically loaded cosmetics & health/wellness products. Increasingly, manufacturers are answering the public’s demand for alternatives to chemically engineered beauty and wellness supplies. Arbonne International is one such company that is leading the way in producing pure, high-quality, botanically based & vegan certified cosmetic/health & wellness products! As a consumer, you have the ability to decrease the number of preservatives and chemical additives your skin comes into contact with. All you have to do is make the change in what you use. Whether you continue using products that contain petroleum-based ingredients, parabens, etc..or not, is a personal choice. The most important thing is to get the facts and to know that you have a choice when it comes to buying pure, safe & beneficial products. Arbonne by Amie Hess
