Natural vs chemical products
Is your make-up or skincare toxic? Most people can't even pronounce some of the ingredients in their beauty, skincare or bath products – yet they continue to use them, unaware of the long-term repercussions on their health.
For many consumers, ignorance is bliss, but keeping educated on toxins and chemicals in products we ingest, rub into our skin or inhale might just prevent sickness and disease later on. Due to numerous sensitivities such as allergies and coeliac disease, many people are becoming more aware of the chemicals and toxicity of products on the market.
For some, even the slightest amount of gluten can cause debilitating symptoms for days. For others, chemical sensitivities cause skin symptoms ranging from mild to severe – so it is better safe than sorry.
Research has shown that 'parabens' can be found in breast cancer tumours, which has led many women to avoid '-parabens' in all their forms.
