Article: Chemical-free skincare

Tuesday October 6, 2009

MANY of us today understand the importance of healthy eating, and gravitate naturally towards products that are certified organic, pesticide- and chemical-free.

The next step would be to extend this attitude towards cosmetic products.

While cosmetics are only for topical application, we need to be even more careful with these products.

Consumers are at the mercy of manufacturers who use cheap and harmful ingredients, many of which are commonly found in shampoos, deodorants and moisturisers.

Some examples are sodium lauryl sulfate, a foaming agent, and propylene glycol, which is used as a humectant, to preserve moisture.

In such a situation, the best thing would be to choose a line of skincare that is certified organic, natural, environment-friendly, and completely dedicated to your health.

Lafe's Organic Deodorants and Lafe's Organic Baby were created to allow consumers to have a safe and healthy alternative for both themselves and their children.

Lafe's motto is: "If it's not natural, it's not in their products."

Lafe Larson, the founder, believes that if you can't pronounce it or it's unidentifiable, then it shouldn't be on your skin.

Most deodorants stop perspiration altogether by blocking up pores and not allowing the skin to breathe.

This is bad since sweating is how your body controls its temperature. Lafe's organic deodorants target the root cause of body odour.

By combining the powerful germ-killing attributes of minerals salts and essential oils, the deodorants keep you feeling fresh and confident all day, without the risk of interfering with your body's natural physiological processes.

Products in Lafe's Organic Baby line are up to 95% certified organic.

Made of selected pure botanicals and saponified herbal oils, the line is safe for infants, is hypoallergenic and fragrance-free.

Both Lafe's Organic Deodorants and Organic Baby line are USDA certified for the organic ingredient source, content and manufacturing process. They do not contain any synthetic chemicals.

Remember that what goes on your body, goes into your body. Opt for certified organic and all-natural – you deserve only the best.

Lafe's Organic Deodorants and Lafe's Organic Baby line can be found at Caring, Vitacare, Planete Enfants, Mamours and Fabulous Mom.
