Beauty through pain?
Hello, dear health-conscious person.
Today it's about an exciting topic that is getting more and more topical: the natural cosmetics
Why pay attention to the ingredients of cosmetic products, advertising sounds so promising? What do conventional products do and how can I protect myself? - I want to go into the reasons for that today.
Whether face cream, shower gel, hair shampoo, body lotion, sunscreen, lip balm, scrubs, toothpaste or hair gel, etc. NO cosmetic product is safe from industrial madness! Not to mention the decorative cosmetics or make-up products!
Of course, we always want to be beautiful and look well-groomed, that's clear. Our skin should stay young forever and the hair should always shine. For these requirements there are umpteen products in drugstores, supermarkets or pharmacies. As a more conscious person, you may even think that more expensive branded products are still "better" for us and can not contain harmful ingredients ... Of course, that's not the case! Even with misleading names or product names you have to be careful, just because "of course" is on it does not mean that ONLY nature is inside!
Our skin is our biggest organ. And everything that comes into contact with our skin gets into our organism.
The whole thing is now problematic, because we overload our bodies with a poison cocktail, we use several products for skin and hair care and several times a day! Some substances (especially petroleum!) really stick the pores of our skin so that they can no longer breathe and we literally suffocate in our bodies.
The fact that we poison our skin or body over time is a logical conclusion. Not only through the skin, but also via the lungs, we absorb these toxins increasingly!
Now for the ingredients:
The INCI list works so that the substances listed at the beginning are most included in the product (just like the food ingredients lists). If an asterisk can be seen behind a fabric, that usually means that the raw material comes from organic farming.
The dyes are indicated by the color index number, which you always recognize by the name "CI". Perfume oils are commonly referred to as "perfume", sometimes individual perfume components are also indicated.
The list of toxins is long and they are funny chemical names that are often not even pronounceable. Nobody can remember that anyway, so I'll let it go, but I'd like to point out a very valuable app in this respect:
Codecheck . The app is great because you just have to scan in the EAN code and then you'll see right away if there are questionable ingredients in the product.
The problems that come from Conventional products or their substances range as already said by the increased toxin burden of the body on cancer, Alzheimer's, affecting the hormone balance, irritation of the respiratory tract, allergies, eye problems, accelerate the aging process of the skin, increased pollutant absorption the skin, liver abnormalities, kidney damage to skin irritation.
Another important point is, of course, the whole animal experiments associated with the production of conventional cosmetics. And not even to protect us consumers! No, only because, so that the company can secure, if it should come to problems!
The truth is of course dramatic when we consider that we are poisoned from the early age by the products. Yes, baby products contain no less chemistry (they often contain fewer active ingredients)!!
TTIP also plays a major role here again, because in the future allergenic and even more hormonally active substances in cosmetic products should be approved! Another reason to turn your back on conventional cosmetics ...
Natural cosmetics use raw materials such as vegetable oils, extracts, hydrolates, butter and natural waxes, which all have different positive qualities on our body.
Even from herbs you can make cosmetics!
I prefer to make my own products,
but I'll tell you more another time;)
So, it's best to download Codecheck and go to your bathroom to see what you've got around poison bombs.
Maybe in the future you think about the purchase of some products for the first time or inquire for better alternatives.
That's all gor today,
