What is In Your Skin Care Product?

More and more people are turning to organically produced foods in order to reduce the amount of harmful toxins they take in. After all, you are what you eat, right? But, consider this: Your skin is the largest organ of your body. People often disregard the care of their skin (that is, beyond applying sunscreen) thinking that skin is an outer barrier to the internal system they are trying to protect. However, skin is a living and breathing part of our bodies, just as much as the blood that runs through them.

It is a fact that when you apply chemicals to your skin, they enter your bloodstream and become integrated into your body tissues. How else would hormone or nicotine patches work?  Because your skin has the ability to absorb whatever you put on it, careful choices are critical. Why wouldn’t you treat your skin the same way you treat the rest of your body, from your heart to your lungs, from your muscles to your bones?

Just the same way organic eating is the key to a healthier lifestyle, so too is organic skin care. And not just for your face…your skin on your face is just as important as the skin on your toes and it all should be nourished with the highest quality ingredients.

Did you know that US government regulations allow virtually any ingredient to be used in the manufacture of products that we use daily on our skin, hair, and nails? Some of the harmful ingredients that are used frequently in manufacturing the most common non-organic skin care and make-up items include: Propylen Glycol, Mercury, Dioxane, Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, Sodium Laureth or Lauryl Sulfate, Parabens, DEA ,TEA, Hydroquinone, Toluene, ureas, colors, fragrance…. Most of these compounds are hormone disrupting chemicals, known carcinogens that releases formaldehyde, and are absorbed easily by the skin, yet the body has no way of ridding itself of them. The toxins make their way into your blood stream where they can cause long-term damage to your organs.

It stands to reason that the best thing to offer your body is organic skin care products. To do this, you would need to get in the habit of reading product labels, just as you probably do already when it comes to the foods that we buy. Ingredients are listed in descending order according to the amount that they make up the formula.

So, how do you begin the process of using organic, natural ingredients for your body? Every possible ingredient in SanRe Organic Skin Food is certified organic, creating quality products. If you go to SanRe Organic Skin Food’s website, you can easily look at every ingredient they use to make their Organic skin care line. SanRe carefully lists every ingredient used in the product and why it’s there! Be wary of any manufacturer that hides ingredients from you or uses generic listings such as ‘fragrance’.

SanRe’s popular eye cream “Eye Candy” is a product that you use daily on a very sensitive part of your skin, the thin-skinned area around your eyes. Organic Almond Oil is the #1 ingredient listed for Eye Candy. It’s good to know that this major component of Eye Candy is not only organic, but is so natural you could eat it! And guess what? The rest of the ingredients in Eye Candy are ingredients you can pronounce and even recognize! You can be certain you know what is going onto your greatest health asset, your skin.
