Toxins... they are EVERYWHERE.
It's crazy how just when you think you're "safe" - you discover yet ANOTHER product filled with even more toxic chemicals. 😬
That's actually how my journey began - after suffering a miscarriage, one day I looked at my "natural" skincare and noticed that even though it said "NATURAL" and "ORGANIC" - the ingredient list was filled with toxic chemicals!
That discovery sent me down a rabbit hole of truth seeking - and resulted in Primal Life Organics being created.
So believe me, if you are wanting to go natural but wonder how to do it without completely being overwhelmed and going broke - I get you!
THE TRUTH ABOUT TOXINS IN YOUR BODY PRODUCTS
The average person uses 12 personal care products a day, from toothpaste and face wash to deodorant and shampoo. That’s 12 times you could be rubbing toxins onto your body’s largest organ - your skin!
Did you know that the term “natural” is completely unregulated by the FDA? Any company can stamp the word on a label, even if the product in question is chock-full of synthetic chemicals—not to mention that ingredients like petroleum - which has been proven to cause cancer - is technically natural (whaaat???)
In the US, personal care products have a ban on only 11 chemicals…compared to Europe which bans over 1,300 chemicals.
This means it's even more important to become your own health advocate. Here's where to start.
TOXIC WATER
There is a whole (LONG) list of toxic ingredients you need to watch out for - some of which would completely shock you.
But did you know water is one of the worst ingredients in natural products?
If you’re like “No way Trina - now I know you’ve lost your mind.” - stick with me for a moment.
The water used in cosmetic products is usually unfiltered tap water loaded with toxins. Since products that list water as the first ingredient may be up to 90% water, they contain a significant concentration of tap water contaminants:
Um… I don’t know about you, but I don’t really want to smear gasoline solvents across my skin every night or start my morning with a fresh layer of heavy metals. Yet this is exactly what happens when we use skin care products made with water!
If all of that isn’t scary enough to make you think twice, consider the fact that water-based skin care products don’t even hydrate your skin.
Quite the opposite: they pull the moisture out of your skin. These water-based products leave your face tired and dehydrated instead of nourished and rejuvenated.
Since dehydrated skin can’t eliminate cellular waste products naturally, toxins build up over time and trigger signs of premature aging. Those accentuated wrinkles could be the direct result of dehydrated skin damaged by cosmetics and skin care products formulated with water!
