What Is Lurking In Your Favorite Bath Products?

Have you ever stopped to think, "What is in my favorite shampoo." Have you ever investigated some of those long names in the ingredient list? Most folks trust that what they are getting is safe. Some folks, you can educate, and they may make some changes. But lets be honest, most people only read what the product will do for them. I want to talk about one ingredient that is commonly found in personal products.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a pesticide. It has been registered with the Govt., as a pesticide.  It is used to fight flees and ticks.  It is used as a foaming agent. It can be found in some foods, toothpaste, shampoos, soaps and many more products. The ingredient, Sodium Laureth, Sulfate is closely related to SLS. These chemicals have been known to be potential carcinogens. I read one study that suggested that the effects of SLS  on the liver were particularly troubling. The liver is unable to breakdown and properly process these chemicals.  The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is sucking in everything you put on it.  The last thing you want to do to your body is burden it with toxic waste. You can find products that do not use these chemicals. I have shampoo bars that are made of quality products. Coconut oil, Castor oil,  and essential oils. These oils produce a nice lather. Please, read, and educate yourself and your family.
