> Beauty Week

> ===============================================

>

> When you take a bath, do you feel like you just went

> through that car

> wash with pink, blue and yellow bubbles?

>

> The Bite:

> Many conventional bath and shower products contain

> sodium lauryl

> sulfate (SLS), propylene glycol and parabens -

> ingredients also found

> in anti-freeze, engine degreasers and solvents. Use

> natural bath

> products and feel refreshed, instead of feeling like

> you went through

> a cheap car wash full of crazy chems.

>

>

> The Benefits:

> - Protect your skin. Many harsh soaps deplete

> natural fats from the

> epidermis - this weakens the skin, allowing toxins

> and bacteria to

> invade.

> - Choose natural to be on the safe side. The

> government does not

> require health studies or pre-market testing for

> cosmetic products

> such as soaps and shampoos before they are sold.

> - Just be you. In sufficient amounts, as a mutagen,

> SLS is capable of

> changing the information in genetic material found

> in cells.

> - Cleaner waterways. These chemicals are rinsed off

> your body and down

> the drain, potentially contaminating rivers,

> streams, and harming

> aquatic life.

>

>

> Personally Speaking

> Heather LOVES her Collective Wellbeing Charcoal Body

> Wash, and raves

> how soft it leaves her skin. Seriously. She goes up

> to people and asks

> them to touch her.

>

>

> Wanna Try?

> - The Healing Garden Organic Wild Honey Soap - Jen

> keeps threatening

> to eat this stuff, it smells so good ($6).
