Why Organic

• To reduce the number of carcinogens (cancer-causing substances) entering your body. All chemicals penetrate the skin – that’s why skin-patches are now used for things like quitting smoking and birth control. As our largest organ, the skin absorbs everything and this includes the many carcinogens found in almost all body care products for women, men, and babies. Many people now believe that the less carcinogens you put into your body (whether through products, food, or environment), the more you can help to decrease your chances of getting a number of chronic illnesses and diseases.
  
  Note: The Canadian Cancer Society says that cancer now affects 1 in 2.3 men and 1 in 2.6 women. Numerous studies suggest that these rates are caused by the increasing number of carcinogens in food, products, and in the environment.
  
  
• To reduce the amount of pesticides entering your body. Most body care products on the market today are a combination of plant-derived ingredients and synthetic ingredients. Any plant (whether it’s used for cosmetics, body care product, or food) can be heavily contaminated with pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. By using organic body care products, you’re ensuring that the ingredients are naturally raised and free of contaminants.
  
  
• To know you’re putting only the best, most pure, ingredients into your body. Take the time to read the ingredient label of any name-brand product you currently use; chances are you don’t know what half the ingredients are, and chances are you wouldn’t want to. Truly natural products without chemical ingredients are more safe and more effective than mainstream products because they don’t contain synthetic ingredients which may be toxic to our systems; synthetics are less expensive to use which is why there’re used in most brand-name products.
