As I start to change my ways of the GO GREEN! About the only thing I have done is changed my light bulbs! I’m really focusing on researching what I can do for not only myself and family but what I can do for my clients. It is definatley becoming a way a life for many people. That is why I will pass along to you what I have learned so far. I am looking for the best natural and oraganic professional products. But first the basics….
Did you know FACT…
that of the 10,750+ chemicals
used in skin and hair care
91% have NOT been evaluated for safety ?
(that means some of over 9,782 untested syn-chemical ingredients
in your products, and going into your hands and skin )
EWG – www.cosmeticsdatabase.com
the bad news for salons & spas – is that 99.4%
of all hair styling & spa products
contain harmful, toxic “industry accepted”
synthetics & petro-chemicals
suspected as, or linked to carcinogens (cancer
The average adult uses 9 personal care products daily
exposing them to 126 chemicals every day
Your skin and scalp absorb up to 60% of the ingredients
(including the toxic synthetics and petro-chemicals)
found in the cosmetics, lotions and shampoos you use on a daily basis.
Studies have shown that women who dye their hair
more than 5 times a year have an increased risk
of developing ovarian cancer.
Most of the hair colors on the market today contain chemicals
such as formaldehyde and ammonia which can cause blindness
if it gets into your eyes.
This same study shows that dark and black hair colors
are particularly dangerous because of the added chemicals
needed to create this dark and dramatic color women love so much.
What’s worse?
Cheater companies and fraudster marketeers
are greenwashing product labels with the word “organic”
that are actually made with, and contain these toxic, chemical ingredients
