As I stated in the last newsletter, since researching progesterone and transdermal creams, I have a great interest in finding out the ingredients in products that I use on my body.  We are really excited to become a distributor for Burt's Bees since there products are all natural.  Here is a list of ingredients that you WON'T find in any Burt's Bees products:

ALUMINUM CHLOROHYDRATE - The active ingredient in many antiperspirants. Inhibits the normal bodily function of underarm sweating. The use of aluminum compounds in personal care is currently under scrutiny.

DIMETHICONE - Silicone polymer used to modify a product's feel or contribute water resistance. Silicone polymers used in breast implants caused serious health problems and were subsequently banned by the Food & Drug Administration.

FD&C and D&C COLORS - Petroleum derived synthetic colors can be toxic and cause allergy. The Food and Drug Administration have banned numerous FD&C and D&C colors as emerging scientific data found them unsafe for human use.

FORMALDEHYDE - One of the most toxic of all personal care ingredients. This irritating and allergenic preservative was commonly used in shampoos.

METHYL, ETHYL, PROPYL, BUTYL PARABENS - Petroleum derived toxic preservative chemicals, which can be lethal to many life forms beyond their target microorganisms in personal care products. Parabens have a history of causing allergy and irritation in human skin.

MINERAL OIL - Mineral Oil is inappropriately named since it bears no relationship to minerals. It is merely a synthetic chemical fraction of petroleum.

PETROLATUM - This semisolid chemical is actually a mixture of mineral oil and paraffinic waxes. Derived from petroleum, and historically used and trusted by millions, this chemical has no justifiable role in the well being of human skin.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL - Liquid preservative, solvent and antifreeze, this toxic petroleum derivative is known to cause allergy and irritation.

SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE - One of the original synthetic ingredients used in personal care products. Very aggressive and irritating, this chemical may have more far reaching toxic effects than previously thought.

TALC - This insoluble powdered mineral can cause respiratory illness.

 

I urge you to read the ingredients on your soaps, shampoos and lotions and discontinue use if any of these ingredients is listed.
