Yesterday, I talked about toxic chemicals lurking in our everyday products. Today, I want to shed light on a specific ingredient that most of you will come in contact daily that is found in your body wash… Formaldehyde!

 
Yes, it is the same stuff that is used to embalm dead bodies! And here’s the kicker — you won’t actually see the word “formaldehyde” listed in a list of product ingredients…except perhaps in a few remaining brands of nail polish. The cosmetics and personal care industry is tricky. They disguise that word in the list of ingredients because they know you probably won’t buy something if you know what’s really in it.
 
Formaldehyde hides behind the following ingredient names. If you see these on any labels, put the product down.
 
quaternium-15
DMDM hydantoin
imidazolidinyl urea
diazolidinyl urea
sodium hydroxymethylglycinate
2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3 diol (Bronopol)
glyoxal
oxaldehyde
 
Why is it such a big deal?
 
🧐 Formaldehyde is recognized by the EPA as a carcinogen.
 
🧐 It’s linked to lung cancers, Hodgkin lymphoma and leukemia, and myeloid leukemia.
 
🧐 It permeates through inhalation and can also cause eye, nose, and throat irritation; reproductive and developmental toxicity; asthma; neurologic and behavioral toxicity; and immunological toxicity.
 
🤯 And get this. It’s banned for use in cosmetics in Sweden and Japan.
 
Here is the good news… You can make your own body wash with natural, clean ingredients and you will save money too!

Lifelong Vitality Pack… FREEE????

What are the benefits of doTERRA Lifelong Vitality? (Keep reading) and…set up your account in May to find out for yourself!

Take the first steps to total body wellness by incorporating the Life Long Vitality regimen into your daily life.

Because the LLV is a “whole food” supplement, our bodies assimilate it much better than synthetic vitamins. That means your body is actually utilizing all of it, verses eliminating it because it’s synthetic. The nutrients in the LLV are in the PERFECT amounts for our bodies to assimilate at one time including iron. I recommend taking the full dose when pregnant or breastfeeding to assure you are getting enough.

** Vitamin A from natural food sources. Your body will only use what it needs.

** The LLV has 400mcg’s of natural folate from lemon peel so it is already methylated, this means your body does not have to convert it to a usable form.

** Metabolism, Immune System, Bone health and Cardiovascular health will all be supported by LLV.
** Gentle on your stomach as it does not contain genetically modified material and it’s dairy-free.
