Organic Body Wash for You


There are so many products out there that you can use as for body wash such as shampoos and soaps. But the trouble with those commercialized and famous brands of body wash is that they contain different chemicals that can be dangerous to our health, since we use body wash daily in our lives. According to certain people, more than 10,000 substances and chemicals are found in personal care products but only 13 percent of them are considered perfectly safe for daily use.

The federal or state government can only have little or no regulatory control over the production of such products that is why we will never know for sure if a certain product contains excessive amounts of dangerous chemicals. Good thing that there is an alternative to these chemical based products. And this alternative may in fact, be a better choice. Organic body washes are now available for your daily use. These products are completely natural and are safer for daily use.

But a person must be wary of some products that claim they are “natural”, always check the label and see if the product has only organic ingredients. Only if a product is 100% organic then it can be considered natural or organic.

Simple Understanding of Organic Skincare


When you go to a health shop or natural food grocers, you will find a wide array of “natural” skin care and body care products. Many manufactures capitalized on the label “natural” why? Simple! Who would want to buy something labeled with “extra carcinogens” or “loaded with parabens”?


Of course no one in their right mind would do such a thing. When the products are certified organic, they have to meet the strict requirements by the certifying body and should be very safe for the consumer. Certified organic skincare products are made from ingredients you can understand and read such as calendula oil and safflower oil not five syllable words that doesn’t mean a thing to you. This ensure that you actually know what you are putting on your skin rather than just hoping it will work because of the hype that the company claims it should.


Before purchasing a “natural” product, be sure to research the company producing it. See if they are certified by USDA, IFDA and other certifying body. Find out if their skin care line is toxic free or just made from fragrance which are usually synthetic. There are wonderful certified organic skin care products available so don’t settle for some supposedly natural junk when you can have the best available for your skin.
