Our biggest organ - our skin - is a gateway into our bodies. Chemicals from everything our skin comes in contact with, from personal care products, to clothes, to water and air, get absorbed and delivered to our cells, including our brain, stomach, and gut. Most of us are not aware of the ‘messages’ these chemicals carry and the cumulative damage they cause because we don’t feel anything. But when cancer news strikes, we are surprised where this could come from. Prevention beats cure!

What types of products do you use daily or several times a week which include chemicals that enter our bodies and raise havoc without us realizing it?

  1. Fragrances
  2. Personal hygiene products
  3. Hair care products
  4. Skin care products
  5. Oral care
