Your skin is the largest organ in your body and whatever you put on your skin, about 60% of it is absorbed directly into your blood stream. Our skincare is made from natural, organic and non-GMO ingredients. But, what’s so great about natural or organic soap anyway? What’s wrong with the body washes, branded cleansers and other commercial skincare brands? They’re actually doing you more harm than good. Read on to find out more about commercial cleansers.

So many people suffer from skin problems like eczema, acne, dry, flaky or sensitive skin. But, is your skin the real problem? What if these skin concerns are actually caused by the chemicals you expose your skin to?

Ever had an insect bite? The swelling and itching that occurs is our immune system’s natural reaction to combat the invasion of foreign substances. It’s also our body’s way of warning us when it is harmed. See the connection? Bathe yourself with harmful chemicals and your skin dries, flakes, itches or exacerbates eczema.
The shocking truth about commercial cleansers
Most commercial shower foams, gels, and cleansers marketed as “skincare” products are actually degreasing detergents. Have a look at the ingredients list on your soap bottle or bar. Many list “gentle, soap-free” cleansers which contain things that are far worse than soap, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamidopropyl betaine and parabens.Even products marketed for sensitive baby skincare — ones that promise “no more tears” — are not safe. These contain chemicals to numb your baby’s senses.
Dettol, Johnson’s, Dove, Pigeon, and practically every commercial washing cleanser contain cocamidopropyl betaine as one of their main ingredient. Now the shocking truth — the rate of allergic reactions to cocamidopropyl betaine is so high that the American Contact Dermatitis Society named it Allergen of the Year in 2004.
If you have eczema or skin conditions associated with sensitive skin, stop using harsh chemical detergents and switch to a natural product. Don’t be fooled by commercial brand products labeled as “natural” or “organic” — most of them base their claims by adding just a few drops of plant extracts to a chemical base.
