Did you know......

....women who use make-up on a daily basis are absorbing approx. 5lbs of chemicals a year through their skin?  Just imagine what our children are absorbing through bath products, toothpaste, lotions, etc.

     Here are a few chemicals to avoid in your every day products:
 
     1.   Cocoamide DEA, diethanolamine, TEA,
          triethanolamine,   MEA

2.  Propylene glycol, propylene oxide,

     polyethylene glycol

3.  Sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate

4.  Sodium Fluoride

5.  Mineral Oil , Petrolatum and Coal Tar

Your skin is the largest organ of the body and these chemicals can be absorbed right through it! 

Again, SMALL CHANGES, pick one thing you use every day and take it out!  I am still weeding things out of my house....I think when we do things too quickly we set ourselves up to fail, when we make changes slowly we have time to absorb (no pun intended) the change and we become appreciative of that change over time.

Alternative and Natural solutions for ADD, ADHD, OCD, Tourette syndrome, Autism and Asperger's
