A recent feature in the news again drew attention to some of the potentially toxic chemicals that we regularly come into contact with, as well as the health effects they have been linked with.Many of those listed were ingredients found in beauty products or their packaging. These give particular cause for concern because up to 60% of substances applied to the skin may be absorbed and go directly into the bloodstream.The feature identified parabens, Sodium lauryl sulphate, phthalates and aluminium as having a potentially toxic effect on the body; all ingredients that Green People has recognised as worth avoiding ever since we started creating skin care products.More research is needed into these ingredients in order for us to understand fully the effects that they have on the body but we believe that there is no need to use them in deodorants, skin creams and other toiletries when there are safe, natural alternatives available.We avoid all questionable synthetic ingredients and instead prefer to use essential oils, plant extracts and other natural ingredients with beneficial effects such as skin nourishment, hydration or wrinkle reduction.We are very conscious that many of our customers are concerned about the same issues that we are – what goes into their beauty products – so we are completely up from about all the ingredients in Green People products.See our natural skin care products now. Just go to the product details page and click the “ingredients” tab to see full disclosure of what we have used to create that product.
