Your skin is your body’s largest organ and requires the same nutrients as the rest of the human body in order to stay healthy. Due to the porous nature of the epidermis, absorption of chemicals is something we need to always consider when applying anything to our skin. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not approve cosmetics.
This includes perfumes, makeup, moisturizers, face and body cleansers and shampoo amongst other products. In light of this information, we need to be especially diligent regarding the ingredients in our beauty products.
We should feed our skin the same way we feed our body, with healthy, organic ingredients as close to nature as possible.
But let’s not forget the environmental impact of the chemicals present in skin care being rinsed down the drain and into our water sources. Water treatment centers are unable to filter out these harsh chemicals and as a result, over 100 different chemicals have been detected in our tap water and eco-system.
