Our goal was to eat less processed food and enjoy more “real food.” At the time, I thought our decision was one that would simply change our meals, nothing more. I never thought that our decision would change the way we clean and what we put on our skin. Oh how I was wrong! That one decision resulted in a total lifestyle change for our young family. After a few years of eating real food, I began to question not only the products we called “food,” but also the products being used on our skin and in our home. This questioning led to a quest to “clean up” our cleaning products. Soon, I found myself purchasing, and using, castile soap and 6 NATURAL BODY CARE SIMPLIFIED NATURAL BODY CARE SIMPLIFIED baking soda, glass spray bottles, and homemade dryer balls.

  • COSMETICS in USE: a PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEW Abdul Kader Mohiuddin, Department of Pharmacy, World University of Bangladesh KEYWORD
    European Journal of Biology and Medical Science Research Vol.7, No.4, pp.22-64, October 2019 Published by ECRTD- UK Print ISSN: ISSN 2053-406X, Online ISSN: ISSN 2053-4078 COSMETICS IN USE: A PHARMACOLOGICAL REVIEW Abdul Kader Mohiuddin, Department of Pharmacy, World University of Bangladesh 151/8, Green Road, Dhanmondi, Dhaka – 1205, Bangladesh Orcid Id: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1596-9757 Web of Science Researcher ID: T-5428-2019 ABSTRACT: The word “cosmetics” actually stems from its use in Ancient Rome. They were typically produced by female slaves known as “cosmetae,” which is where the word “cosmetics” stemmed from. Cosmetics are used to enhance appearance. Makeup has been around for many centuries. The first known people who used cosmetics to enhance their beauty were the Egyptians. Makeup those days was just simple eye coloring or some material for the body. Now-a-days makeup plays an important role for both men and women. In evolutionary psychology, social competition of appearance strengthens women’s desires for ideal beauty. According to “The Origin of Species”, humans have evolved to transfer genes to future generations through sexual selection that regards the body condition of ideal beauty as excellent fertility. Additionally, since women’s beauty has recently been considered a competitive advantage to create social power, a body that meets the social standards of a culture could achieve limited social resources. That's right, even men have become more beauty conscious and are concerned about their looks. Cosmetics can be produced in the organic and hypoallergenic form to meet the demands of users.

  • How to Obtain and Maintain Beautiful Naturally Healthy Skin
    How to Obtain and Maintain Beautiful Naturally Healthy Skin Skin is something everyone, especially women, strives to maintain looking beautiful, youthful, and glowing. It is the organ in our body that receives the most external exposure to all of the dirt, UV-rays, and toxins in our world. Keeping your skin healthy is important to the overall health of your body because it is your first line of defense and the first barrier and filtration system for your body against the outside world. Most of us use products to help protect our skin, moisturize it, and even enhance it. It is an industry that makes roughly $160 billion dollars annually. While these products can be beneficial, it is important to look at the ingredients in them. 33% of personal care products contain at least one chemical linked to cancer. 22% of cosmetics are contaminated with the possible cancer causing impurity 1,4-dioxane. Also, on average there are 10 ingredients that are banned by the FDA in cosmetics in the United States. It is important to take a look at the ingredients in your cosmetics and lotions to make sure they contain 100% all-natural or organic products. Also avoid any products that use Perabans, which are being linked to cancer. Improving your diet and lifestyle is also extremely beneficial to the health of your skin. Your skin turns ultraviolet rays into vitamin D, so about 15 minutes of direct sun-exposure is recommended daily. But don’t forget to apply your sunscreen every hour and a half when outside your skin is protected.

  • Southern Scentsations Body Butters
    Southern Scentsations Body Butters The Basics Most body butters are based on a recipe that includes some form of plant butter, such as coco butter, mango butter or Shea butter. Oils, such as jojoba oil, are often added for the silky feeling. There are many combinations that can be made. We have listed some of the most popular butters and oils used in body butter recipes below, if you need a Whipped body butter recipe please ask an associate. Jojoba Oil Jojoba oil is widely used in cosmetics and is often added to body butter. Its chemical structure is very similar to that of the oils in human skin. It is the most readily absorbed plant based oil. Jojoba oil is helpful in reducing the appearance of wrinkles. It has antibacterial properties. Jojoba is beneficial as a moisturizer. The waxy oil-like substance hydrates the skin, hair and nails while it provides nutrients. In addition to providing a protective coating on the skin to keep bacteria and grime out and moisture in, it also helps to reduce and to prevent wrinkles and stretch marks. Jojoba has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. This makes it a useful treatment for acne, skin wounds and to soothe mild infections. Jojoba oil is hypo-allergenic, so it will not cause reactions on the skin and will not clog pores. Grapeseed Oil Health Benefits of Grape Seed Oil Due to the anti-inflammatory properties of oligomeric proanthocyanidin, grape seed oil may help alleviate pain and inflammation associated with several conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis. It may help speed up the wound healing process as well.
