Did you know that parabens (methyl, butyl, ethyl, propyl), found in many personal care products, can disrupt the endocrine system affecting hormones in the body? This can harm fertility and reproductive organs, affecting birth outcomes, and increasing the risk of cancer. These chemicals are even found in baby products. 60% of what we put on our skin gets absorbed into our bodies. Skincare ingredients are not regulated, and almost any ingredient can be incorporated into a formula. The synthetic fragrances alone can be created with up to 3000 different chemicals. Essential oils, on the other hand, are beneficial to the body and can boost mood, improve sleep, reduce inflammation, reduce stress, along with many other benefits.
