Organic Lotion ...Why Should You Use It?Organic lotion, and other organic products, are extremely popular right now, and while some people are jumping on the organic bandwagon because it is the “in” thing to do, the majority of individuals are genuinely concerned for their well being.
The popularity is because the public is becoming wise to the dangers of ingesting, and placing harmful chemicals and toxins on their skin, and in their body!
If you investigate a typical, non-organic lotion, you will find several truly scary ingredients…some of the most popular ingredients cause cancer, and some are actually low doses of formaldehyde!
How scary is that!?!?!
This very fact is why so many people are choosing a healthier way of life by opting to use organic products rather than mass produced chemically altered ones!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use Jojoba oil when ever possible as a skin moisturizer as it is almost identical to natural skin oil, and possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Organic lotions can be extremely beneficial to your skin’s health!Recently researchers have made a connection between tea lotion and skin cancer prevention. When green or black tea is formulated into a lotion, and applied to the skin researchers say it destroys the cells on the skin that cause skin cancer.
Some researchers have stated that tea lotion may be more effective at preventing skin cancer than sun block!
All that and it leaves your skin looking and feeling great!
Another natural product typically formulated into lotions for its healing and soothing abilities is oatmeal.
If you have dry, irritated, itchy skin there are fewer products more effective than oatmeal lotion.
Oatmeal lotion has been used for years, and years because of its completely safe all natural ability to heal and sooth problem skin.
Of course when buying a mass produced all natural product you have to be careful!!
...Labels can be tricky!Labels can be tricky, not all organic or all natural products are truly all natural.
For some crazy reason the FDA does not define the term natural. Therefore a company is well within their rights to place two drops of grapeseed oil in a completely chemically based product, and label it as natural!
The only way to be sure you are receiving a 100% organic product is to make the product yourself, or investigate the ingredients very closely.
If you decide to purchase a natural product at the store be sure to investigate the ingredients very closely, and learn to look for the hidden chemical terms!
If you find a truly natural product there should be nothing in the ingredients list but all natural ingredients such as…jojoba oil, almond oil, grapeseed oil, lavender extract etcetera, etcetera.
In other words you should be able to understand every single word; there should be no 16 letter words that are impossible to pronounce…that is not a natural product! Of course another great idea is to make you own line of all natural organic lotion!Making your own organic homemade lotion is not as hard as it may sound, simply gather your favorite all natural ingredients, and formulate you own organic lotion.
Organic Homemade Lotions? ...That sounds difficult!!
Making your own personal line of organic homemade lotions is an excellent idea, and it is so easy that your kids can help you!
The fun and exciting part about making your own organic homemade products is you have the power to change the ingredients and you can try all sorts of things.
If you are going to make the jump from store bought to organic homemade, you should definitely make a bottle of regular lotion and a bottle of shower lotion.
Shower lotion is an excellent idea for everyone! Applying lotion directly after showering, while still damp, is the number one way to moisturize because you lock in the moisture from the water.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~tip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Try searching the Internet for an organic, or all natural, homemade lotion recipes. Once you find the perfect blend be sure to keep it in the refrigerator. Since all natural products lack preservatives, this will delay spoiling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Organic lotion is an excellent choice for anyone, the skin is absorbent and if you apply toxic chemicals to the skin, it is going to be absorbed into the body.
It is important to use organic lotion, shampoo, and soaps when ever humanly possible to remain as healthy as you need to be to live a full and active life!
