Non Toxic Living- What's in the products your using?
What's in the products your
using?
by Janet Ouellette
Are you serious about protecting your
family from potentially harmful chemicals that may be found in some personal
care products and cleaners that you use every day in your home?
Many people don’t realize the effects caused by some of the products
they’re using in their home. Allergies, headaches, nausea ,skin rashes, and
many other symptoms & conditions can be caused by a reaction to chemicals
in the products your using. Whether it be for personal care, cleaning your
home or for bathing your dog, you need to know what's in them and how
to go about finding a better alternatives for you and your family.
In order to be informed you need to gather as much information as you
can. The first thing you can do is get yourself a good cosmetic ingredient
dictionary. These can be found at most book stores or online. The dictionary
will have a list of ingredients that can be found in cosmetics, including
hair care, skin care, baby care products and other personal care products.
It will tell you about different ingredients and the testing that’s been
done on these ingredients and their results.
So the next time you shop for your personal care and cleaning products
you will be informed as to what's in them and you can then determine for
yourself which ones you want to use for your family and which ones need
to be tossed and replaced with something healthier.
You can also get a wealth of great information by searching online. Check
