EATING YOUR SOAP ???

You may think soaps and other cleansers just wash dirt and oil off the surface of the skin, but think of the soap scum you have to scrub from your bath tub every couple of days.  That same film of oil (and other things) is left on your skin after a bath or shower.  Most people would say, "don't be ridiculous, it's just soap!"  The skin is the largest organ on the body.  It absorbs sunlight, water, oil, and other substances.  Why wouldn't it absorb your soap?  The truth is, anything we put on our skin is absorbed through our pores and skin layers all the way into our inner organs.  The substances we put on our body become food to our digestive, reproductive, and other systems, and can help or hurt us as much as the food we eat.  What we feed our skin, we feed our body.  So if you're vegetarian or vegan, you probably wouldn't want to feed your skin BEEF FAT (Sodium Tallowate) or other animal products that are in most commercial soaps.  In addition to cheap fats, is toxic surfectants, and chemical bi-products that should be nowhere near our skin -
Sulfatesx Parabensx Synthetic dyesx Synthetic fragrances
Using products that contain these poisons over a long period of time can lead to auto-immune diseases, and chronic skin and hair problems.  In the same way, nutrients from herbs, fruits, spices, vegetable oils, and essential oils can improve the inner and outer health of the body.  Wouldn't it be nice to double-up on some of your favorite foods by bathing in them?  What about absorbing wonderful botanicals you probably wouldn't eat, but can enjoy in a fresh way!   Know what is in your skin and hair products.  Feed your skin lovingly.
