Face Wash
Are you addicted to lather? Do you feel that if a product such as shampoo or body wash doesn't produce a ton of suds, it must not be working? If so, you're not alone, and the truth is that the ingredients in most products that produce suds are synthetic foaming agents such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), which do their jobs very well but aren't so nice to your body. These synthetic surfactant detergents are very common in any products that lather and are known skin irritants, not to mention that they also enhance the skin's absorptive capacity . . . . they make it easier for other nasty synthetic and chemical ingredients to be delivered into our bodies. If you're still not convinced, consider this: although it is not yet known whether or not SLS and SLES are endocrine disruptors (they mess with your hormones), the scientific community does agree that these ingredients are often contaminated with other dangerous chemicals like nitrosamines and 1,4-dioxane, which have been proven to do a number on hormones, potentially causing reproductive and developmental issues over time.
So what's a person to do? Well, a great place to start is choosing SLS and SLES-free products like Lilypure Essentials that are plant-based and petrochemical-free. We use only natural castile soap and other pure ingredients like witch hazel that work great to clean your skin and hair. Let go of the lather!
