Did you know that most women start their day using over 175 chemicals, contained in makeup, perfume, skin care, hair products, toothpaste and deodorant.
Many of the ingredients are known Carcinogens and are used by cosmetic companies only because they are cheap.

Parabens are widely used in cosmetics, deodorants, skin care and baby products to prolong their shelf life.
Recent Scientific Studies in the U.K. found a high concentration of parabens in 90% of breast tumors tested.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS) are usually described as "derived from coconut", to disguise their toxic nature.
These chemicals are commonly used in shampoos, toothpaste, foaming facial & body cleansers and bubble bath.  SLS & ALS can cause severe skin irritation and are easily absorbed into the body building up in the brain, heart, lungs and liver leading to potential long term health problems.
