                                            CHEMICALS IN COSMETICS 
Crucial step to reclaim health is to throw away all the cosmetics with harmful ingredients. Shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, tooth paste, deodorants and absolutely everything else. 
We are surrounded by toxins from so many different sources, so avoiding them as much as possible really make sense in present toxic world. Imagine adding the chemicals from the air, food, vegetables, fruits, kitchen equipment, water, cosmetics, clothes, medicines, furniture.... those quantities are making us really sick. 
If you want to check your cosmetics ingredients safety go to the below website, where you type the name of chemical and you will see its hazard score rating. 
So go ahead, grab your bottle of shampoo for example and investigate its full ingredients one by one. 
I was checking even these which were so called organic and natural to make sure they are truly clean and safe, as unfortunately it is not always the case...  
These days YES you need to invest time in educating yourself on health related topics if you want to keep your health strong and steady. But this knowledge is free of charge and widely accessible. 
How much does your own health & life matter to you? How much is it worth? 
I remember making a change to cosmetics without harmful ingredients over 10 years ago. And it was a challenge then. ORGANIC cosmetics were way more difficult to find and way more expensive than now. Today its much easier to make healthier choices, but I still check the ingredients out to make sure I wont be cheated. 
Remember that the chemical hazard levels approved are being constantly raised year after year. And chemicals forbidden in past, are getting approvals those days. 
Therefore there is a golden rule - less ingredients = better.
I'm lucky my father in law is still producing simple olive oil soap from his olive orchard. You really do not need more.
