Would you consider using Organic Baby Care if you knew that up to 60% of what you put on your little precious one’s skin is absorbed directly into their body?
Science Teaches Us
An investigation by scientific communities led by Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, in collaboration with the Environmental Working Group, suggests that on average, “91 industrial chemicals stay in our bodies because we can’t break them down.” As a parent myself, that’s just down right petrifying.
Obviously these chemicals, which tend to build up, may cause serious diseases like cancer. The complexity of chemicals used by companies these days makes it virtually impossible for us consumers to determine whether or not these chemicals are harmful. Knowing this, now go read the label on your kid’s shampoo or liquid soap bottle. Dyes. Preservatives. Synthetic foaming agents. Parabens and Petrochemicals. Is that the kind of stuff you want coursing through their veins?
When choosing ingredients for our formulations we strive to use primarily Certified Organic, Organic or Wildcrafted ingredients. Out of the 105 ingredients found in our products and listed in our Ingredients Glossary, there are only 7 ingredients which I have elected to use that are naturally derived and are irrefutably safe. The reason for this is that I was not pleased with the action or results that the Organic or Wildcrafted ingredients provided and chose a healthy alternative that would give me the effect I was after and at the same time be safe for our bodies.
An example of this would be the surfactants (sudsing agents) that I use. The purest form of surfactant is Castile based. However, I do not like the way it leaves a waxy residue on the hair shaft or how you need to use a vinegar or lemon rinse to remove the soap film. So, I replaced it with our Decyl Polyglucose and Lauryl Polyglucose, both naturally derived and safe.
Below is a list of our 7 naturally derived ingredients, as well as an explanation of the Water Process we use in our formulations. Being a Hairstylist and an Esthetician for twenty-some-odd years, I have grown accustomed to using the best products out there and so I strive to provide you with high quality products that meet and surpass the high-end synthetic products in my field. As you can see below, these 7 naturally derived ingredients all have the lowest ratings from EWG (Environmental Working Group) and we are pleased as punch that we can provide you with the safest, yet most effective products we can dream up.
