Pure-n-Simple Soap

We need to understand that when applying things on our skin, they do not just stay there.  They do get absorbed.  Prime examples of this are nicotine patches, hormones patches, and Dramamine patches.  When these patches are applied the drugs are being released into our body through the skin.  Some may argue that the harmful chemicals we are finding in our products such as shampoos, and household cleaners, are in such small amounts and are harmless in these small dosages.  Well think about it, there is no such thing as small dosages when you factor in the amount of different products you are exposed to in a single day, over a very long period of time.  Products like tooth paste, deodorant, soaps, shampoos, hair gel, dish soap, laundry detergent, clothes, plastics, food, there is no escape from the invasion of these chemicals.

Do not become discouraged, but rather informed.  Know what you are putting on you and your families body.  Take a good look at the products you are using and research the ingredients.  Discipline your self to either make your own products which might actually save you few bucks, or find companies that make natural products and make that switch.  I much rather spend a few more dollars on natural shampoo bar knowing that I have therapeutic essential oils penetrating through my skin than harmful carcinogens such as formaldehyde.
