D.I.Y Citrus Soft Scrub

Soft scrub works great, but it has tons of harsh chemicals that I’m not super excited about.  A couple of months ago, I stumbled onto a homemade soft scrub recipe, and although I’ve tweaked it a bit to suit my own tastes, it works AWESOME.  No, seriously, this stuff is amazing.  I clean my toilets and showers with it, and the best part is that there are literally NO harsh chemicals.
What you need:

An empty dish soap bottle
1 1/2 cups baking soda
1/2 cup castile liquid soap (I recommend lavender, tea tree, or orange scented soap)
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. vinegar {your mixture will start to bubble and foam when you add this ingredient due to the reaction with the baking soda}

Put all the above ingredients into a bowl and mix well. Once blended transfer to a squeeze bottle and go clean something!

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate= Detergent in your toothpaste.

You are seduced on a daily basis by the intoxicating aromas, flashy packaging, and enticing promises of everlasting youth these products offer. But what is the real cost of applying these products to your body? If I were to tell you that your personal care products could be putting you at risk for hair and skin damage, immunological problems, damage to your eyes, and possibly even cancer, would you pay a little more attention to their ingredients? The growing awareness of chemicals in the foods you eat has led many of you to begin reading labels. If you are doing this as part of your regular shopping routine, I commend you, and you will likely live longer for it. But what about the products you are smearing all over yourself? Eye makeup can be absorbed by your highly sensitive mucous membranes. Hair sprays, perfumes and powders can be inhaled, irritating your lungs. Lipstick is licked off and swallowed. Sunscreen and lotions are...

Most commercially obtainable air fresheners incorporate butylphenyl methylpropional, methyl pyrrolidone, propylene glycol, acetaldehyde, one,three-Dichloro-two-propanol, and different other chemicals that are toxic to the immune system and joined to allergy symptoms, problems, eye irritations, developmental and reproductive issues, and so on. As a result, the fact that you can incorporate natural ingredients and avoid hazardous chemical substances although generating your personal place fresheners at residence helps make this thought far more attractive. The total time it takes to make is about five to six (5-6) minutes and then twenty-four (24) hours to solidify.

Glycol Propylene-Hazardous to your Health. It's in EVERYTHING!

Image
What is propylene glycol? It is is a chemical found in personal care products that acts as a penetration enhancer that keeps products from melting in heat and/or freezing when it is cold. It is found in items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, acne treatment, moisturizer, toothpaste, deodorant, nail polish, mascara; basically anything you could possibly use on your body, propylene glycol is in it.  Why should you avoid propylene glycol? For starters it alters the structure of the skin by allowing chemicals to penetrate deep beneath it while increasing their ability to reach the blood stream. Sounds lovely, right? So even if propylene glycol was good for you, it’s main job is to help any other chemicals you come in contact with reach your bloodstream. Who wants to use a chemical designed to help other chemicals penetrate even deeper into your skin? Not me. However, there is even more to it than just that… How Toxic...
