Organic skin and hair-care product are all the rage right now. The question one may ask is, "are all-natural products hype?" The answer is no. Synthetic (man-made) chemcials are cheaper than high-quality, natural products, so manufacturers use these as FILLERS. The problem is, these fillers can be harmful to our health and are far less effective than their natural/organic counterparts. Here's a list of synthetic ingredients to avoid at all-costs.
Cleansers: sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium myreth sulfate
Petrochemicals: petrolatum (petroleum), mineral oil, parrafin
Preservatives: ALL parabens, DMDM hydantoin
Chemical Suncreens: oxybenzone, avobenzone, octinoxate
Moisturizers: propylene glycol, butylene glycol, polyisobutene
Some of my favorite all natural brands can be found at health food stores, and even at CVS and other mainstream stores. Check out Burt's Bees, Carol's Daughter and The Body Shop.
