Aloe Vera Products for Combination/Oily Skin and Acne

Hi,
I have just come across your website and would like some advice as to which of your products to use for my skin. I am 32 and have had moderate cases of acne on & off for many years now. This latest bout has left me with many scars which makes me uncomfortable without makeup. To top it off I have chloasma but this seems to have calmed down through changing my contraceptive pill. By the end of the day my skin can be a bit oily, I still have blackheads around the nose area. So, I guess I have oily/comination skin. Could you please suggest a skin care routine with the aloe vera products that can especially help with the scarring.
Merry christmas and I look forward to hearing from you (and using your products!).

Dear Agnes,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me. Well, let's hope we can sort this out for you. I would suggest:

1. Regular cleansing with our gently Face and Body Wash, or Bar if you prefer. It is most important that you cleanse regularly. For a more luxurious cleansing milk, use our Face and Body Milk.

2.Organic aloe vera exfoliant. The base of this refreshing exfoliant is very similar to our Face and Body Milk. Use this 2-3x week but don't scrub, just wipe a little exfoliant gently over dry skin with wet hands, then wash off or just brush off with a tissue, which ever you prefer.

3. Aloe Vera Face and Body Lotion to re-hrdrate your skin and to start the repair process.. Use this as your toner, spay onto clean face and body whenever needed. Keep it in the fridge for for hot days! this is 99% pure organic Aloe Vera and will repair, protect and moisturise your skin. Aloe Vera has anti-bacterial properties and will keep acne at bay.

4. I would love to suggest the anti-oxidant serum as an additional boost for your skin. Apply morning and night once your toner has absorbed. this Serum will also assist with any skin discoloration.

5. Aloe Vera Repair Oil. This might sound odd but I suggest you add a few drops of oil to a few drops of water in your cupped hand mix and apply to your face. this won't leave you feeling at all oily and will repair and moisturise your skin. Oily skin needs lots of moisture.

6. Face and Body Milk . As your daily moisturiser, after repair oil morning and night.

7. A Green Clay Mask once a week would be really beneficial too.

The Products I have recommended are available in our Oily/Combination Skin Essential PackSuncare Plus Moisturiser comes tinted and our Mineral Foundation has SPF20+. Suncare Plus is a thicker cream and would suit you if you have a darker complexion. If your skin is fair I would suggest a mineral foundation and use a good brush to achieve a natural look with good coverage.
with the Antioxidant serum as an extra. I also recommend that you use a mineral sunscreen or mineral foundation with SPF. Our

I hope this is helpful and answeres your questions. I have recommended a full routine that I am sure, will improve the condition and appearance of your skin.

Wishing you and your family a Happy Christmas.

Kind Regards

Fiona McColl

Cellulite Treatment and Reduction Plan.

Are you serious about cellulite treatment and cellulite reduction with lasting results? Yes? Then we offer a seven point plan of attack:

Most people with a cellulite problem understand that there are no quick fixes when it comes to cellulite treatment. Discipline and daily cellulite treatments are required to get rid of cellulite and reduce it’s appearance with lasting results. Cellulite is not simple fat, but a way in which your body reacts to a build-up of toxins in the connective tissue in the skin.

What causes Cellulite:
• Poor circulation
• Poor lymph drainage
• Lack of oxygen
• Unbalanced endocrine system
• Water retention
• Allergy - especially to wheat and milk products
• Hormonal changes
• Toxicity - both environmental and/or dietary
In order to fight cellulite we need to address circulation, water retention and toxicity in your body. This is going to be a combined effort of addressing lifestyle and daily cellulite treatments.
1. Increase blood circulation: - Exfoliate - Skin brushing with real bristles—upward movements in the shower (lymph drainage)
2. Exercise- A large part of treating cellulite is creating a lifestyle which helps manage fat in the body. By building muscle mass in cellulite affected areas we help burn fat which avoids it turning into more cellulite. Muscles work to stretch and smooth dimpled skin. As a result legs will be firmer and you will feel and look great! Recommended types of exercise to treat cellulite prone areas such as the thighs and buttocks are: Walking, stair climbing, yoga, Pilates, squats, Martial arts, kick boxing, running around with children...
3. Massage every day - to treat cellulite it is important to massage cellulite affected areas daily with a body brush. You can do so in the shower or on dry skin. To help increase circulation under the skin massage with an exfoliating body wash. This also helps to stimulate blood flow and get fat cells moving elsewhere!
4. Natural Cellulite Oil combined especially to treat cellulite - add to bath with Epson salts to penetrate skin by osmosis. Whilst in the bath, pinch and pummel cellulite areas to assist in breaking down fatty deposits.
5. Increase Oxygen flow- breathe deeply. Breathing is vital and helps the body detox.
6. Relaxation to shift toxins, waste and fat.
7. Address your Diet - Increase of vitamins and minerals such as raw vegetables including bean sprouts - all soaked and scrubbed. Cut out Tea, Coffee, Alcohol, drink lots of water to flush out those toxins.
Natural Cellulite treatment has shown to increase circulation and eliminate toxins, shrink fat cells and drain fluids, which results in firm, toned thighs and/or buttocks with restored and increased elasticity of your skin, which helps prevent the formation of new cellulite!
Important Note: Natural Cellulite Oil does not contain aminophylline, a harsh chemical used to treat asthma. While some cellulite cream manufacturers claim aminophylline reduces cellulite, this is not proven by substantial research.

Stretch Marks - Pregnancy Skin Care

Aloe Vera promotes the development of collagen, a substance that gives your skin its elasticity, resulting in firmer and toned skin, which is more able to prevent Stretch Marks.

To assist your skin with the intensity of stretch marks and prevent stretch marks by apply Organic Aloe Vera Repair Oil while you skin is still wet. You will see a fine sheen that forms on your skin - protecting, whilst the Aloe Vera re-hydrates your skin at the cell level. This will assist in promoting the elasticity of your skin and minimise dryness, which all helps to prevent Stretch Marks.
Our best Pregnancy skin care tip is Aloe Vera Face and Body Cream, which contains Chamomile and Lavender, chosen to relieve muscular tightness and stress. Essential Lavender has a rich history with expectant and new mothers. In the 1600s midwives crushed and heated lavender flowers for women who had back pain during pregnancy. The flowers were also an important part of the birthing experience, and were said to raise the spirits of the new mother, baby, and their attending midwife. Chamomile is soothing and gentle in a time of sensitivity.
Developed to be used comfortably whilst trying to fall pregnant, as pregnancy skin care or for those who have given birth to enjoy with their newly born(s) and of course their partner.

Acne Treatment and Acne Products with Aloe Vera work!

Attention all Acne sufferers: Acne can be treated and Acne Scars significantly reduced with Aloe Vera Skin Care Products. The benefits of Acne Treatment and Acne Products with Aloe Vera are explained here:

Studies have shown that the astringent properties of the Aloe Vera plant’s gel counteract acne infection and help cure pimples with little or no acne scars occurring. Aloe Vera has a pH factor similar to that of the skin. The pH of skin varies from pH4 to pH6. Aloe Vera’s natural pH is about 4.3, depending on weather and soil conditions, so it’s very close to that of human skin. Acne products with Aloe Vera help to restore the skin to its natural pH, making it an effective and natural Acne Treatment Product.

Aloe Vera is a mild anaesthetic, with antibacterial and antifungal properties, containing anti-inflammatory fatty acids all essential for acne treatment and acne prevention.

The six antiseptics naturally contained in Aloe Vera soothe inflammation from pimples and irritated skin and reduce the chance of acne infection by deeply cleansing and moisturising your skin. These components have shown to relieving itching, swelling, redness and pain from acne and conditions like eczema alike. Aloe Vera is a natural moisturiser, fragrance, colour and oil free.

Aloe Vera helps to keep facial pores unclogged and gives skin a healthy glow because enzymatic activity speeds up blood circulation and removes dead skin, clearing acne and pimples. Aloe Vera penetrates rapidly and deeply and is able to re-hydrate, heal and encourage skin renewal, which prevents and reduces Acne scars. Aloe Vera coats the skin with a protective layer which minimises the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi, further preventing Acne and pimples.

Aloe Vera is cooling, soothing and moisturising, and it stimulates the growth of new skin cells and tissue with natural steroids, enzymes and amino acids. A formidable natural Acne treatment product which is pure and affordable.

As with any acne treatment, Aloe Vera users must be patient. Some people plagued with acne and pimples report that before their skin condition improves, they get worse because impurities are made to surface, but when they follow a regular skin care routine (cleanse, tone, and moisturise) using aloe Vera skin care products, their acne and skin tone improves. Please refer to our skin care routine for full instructions.

Treat yourself to 100% reliable and affordable acne treatment products and skin care products without fillers, toxins, artificial fragrances or chemicals...Non-irritant and gentle enough for sufferers of allergy, hay fever or asthma.

Best sunscreen in Zinc Oxide

Best sunscreen is Zinc Oxide.

Chemical sunscreens do protect against sunburn but there is no scientific proof they protect against skin cancer. We explain why Zinc Oxide is the best sunscreen:

Zinc oxide is a natural mineral known as zincite. It has been used safely for generations to shield against the harmful effects of the sun. Micronised zinc oxide is transparent on your skin with all the natural benefits of the best Sunscreen protection.

Zinc oxide is the best sunscreen

• Sun blocks, such as zinc oxide, work by physically reflecting the sun’s rays and are effective against both UV-B and UV-A rays, making it the best sunscreen!

• Unlike chemical sunscreen ingredients, zinc oxide cannot be absorbed into the skin and is not metabolized by the body, making it the best sunscreen!

• Zinc oxide is micronised (nanoparticles) and does not leave a heavy white coating on the skin (like traditional zinc formulas do). Being clear/transparent on the skin makes Zinc Oxide sunscreen practical and means people actually wear it, making it the best sunscreen!

• Zinc oxide provides a thin film of micro-fine particles over the skin. This ensures a protective physical barrier over the skin ensuring the most complete protection for your skin all year round, making it the best sunscreen!...I’m sure you get my point!

• Additionally, unlike most chemical sunscreen ingredients, zinc oxide is known to be stable and it won’t degrade in the sun.

• Zinc oxide is the only sunscreen ingredient recognized by the FDA as a Category I Skin Protectant and is recommended for use on environmentally challenged skin.

• Zinc oxide is the only ingredient that is FDA recognized as having both UVB and UVA broad spectrum protection/

• Zinc oxide is for the most part insoluble in water, but is soluble in acids and alkalis, making it water- and wear-proof with excellent screen effect to UV-A and UV-B.

• Safe for use on lips, face, body and nails.

Chemical Sunscreens

• Chemical sunscreen ingredients are designed to absorb portions of the UVB (burning rays) or UVA (cause of aging and skin cancer) rays and are often used in combination to achieve adequate UVB and at best, limited UVA protection.

• Many sunscreens only protect against UVB rays and allow penetration of damaging UVA rays

• Common chemical sunscreen ingredients are known carcinogens and/or hormone disrupters, including diethanolamine, triethanolamine (DEA, TEA), padimate-o, octyl dimethyl PABA, benzophenone, oxybenzone, homosalate, octyl-methoxycinnamate (octinoxate), salicylates, and parabens.

Do you and your family deserve the best sunscreen ?

Love the skin you're in!

Zinc Oxide as a sunscreen vs. chemical sunscreens

Why use Zinc oxide as a sunscreen?

• Zinc oxide is a natural mineral known as zincite. It has been used safely for generations to shield against the harmful effects of the sun.

• Zinc oxide is used because it provides a thin film of micro-fine particles over the skin. This ensures a protective physical barrier over the skin ensuring the mostcomplete protection for your skin all year round.

• Physical sun blocks, such as zinc oxide, work by physically reflecting the sun’s rays and are effective against both UV-B and UV-A rays.

• Unlike chemical sunscreen ingredients, zinc oxide cannot be absorbed into the skin and is not metabolized by the body.

• Additionally, unlike most chemical sunscreen ingredients, zinc oxide is known to be stable and it won’t degrade in the sun. As well, it is the only sunscreen ingredient recognized by the FDA as a Category I Skin Protectant and is recommended for use on environmentally challenged skin.

• Zinc oxide is for the most part insoluble in water, but is soluble in acids and alkalis. Used as a Sunscreen and anti-bacteria in cosmetics, zinc oxide has excellent screen effect to UV-A and UV-B.

• Safe for use on lips, face, body and nails.

• Zinc oxide is the only ingredient that is FDA recognised as having both UVB and UVA broad spectrum protection

• Zinc oxide is Micronised (nanoparticles) so that our skin does not have that heavy white effect on the surface (like traditional zinc formulas). This makes the treatment practical and means people actually wear it.

Chemical Sunscreens

• Chemical sunscreen ingredients are designed to absorb portions of the UVB (burning rays) or UVA (cause of aging and skin cancer) rays and are often used in combination to achieve adequate UVB and at best, limited UVA protection.

• Many sunscreens only protect against UVB rays and allow penetration of damaging UVA rays

Most people think that sunscreens protect against skin cancer. While sunscreens do protect against sunburn, there is no scientific proof that they protect against melanoma or basal cell carcinoma in humans.

UV-A and UV-B – what are they?

UV-B rays are most commonly associated with sunburns but it is the UV-A rays which penetrate through the outer layers of the skin to the dermis, or base layer of the skin.

UV-A rays are thought by many to cause wrinkling or premature aging of the skin. As well, UV-A rays can cause suppression of the immune system and can contribute to the development of melanoma. Sunscreens which chemically absorb rays have long been effective against UV-B rays. New chemicals are being added today to help screen some UV-A rays. Some of these chemicals, however, are thought to deteriorate in light and could possibly interrupt with UV-B absorbing ingredients, while others can cause irritations to the skin or worse.

Common sunscreen ingredients are suspected or known carcinogens and/or hormone disrupters, including diethanolamine, triethanolamine (DEA, TEA), padimate-o, octyl dimethyl

PABA, benzophenone, oxybenzone, homosalate, octyl-methoxycinnamate (octinoxate), salicylates, and parabens.

Is there a safe sunscreen product?

We need to choose what offers the least harm. Of course, covering with clothing is always the safest, but this is not always practical, especially if our kids will be swimming in the sun for long periods. Recommendations: stay out of the sun from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. or cover with hats and clothing during these times. If you will be out in the sun for long periods or swimming, use a micronised zinc oxide sunscreen (my daughter will never go for the white residue of the regular zinc oxide).

Moderate sunshine every day is healthy. Exposed to longer periods of sun means we need to protect ourselves with the least toxic means possible.

Our natural sunscreen product "Suncare Plus" has micronised zinc oxide as the only active ingredient. There will always be articles that claim that zinc oxide could be unsafe. We can't say it's 100% safe (no product natural or chemical based can make this claim!). But it is the least toxic option that provides the greatest protection, next to covering up with clothing.

“Suncare plus” is an everyday natural skin care treatment that provides effective hydration, makes your skin feel and look great whilst providing 100% natural sun care with Zinc Oxide protection. Hydration and protection against the environments harmful effects, with or without a hint of colour!

Suncare plus has Antioxidant rich ingredients that help protect against free radical damage like pollution and overexposure to the elements. Instead of common synthetic chemical ingredients, Suncare Plus provides natural zinc oxide, botanical extracts and antioxidants for a completely natural, hypo- allergenic non whitening formula that protects, moisturises and soothes your skin. Formulated with Pure Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Grape seed Oil, your skin will maintain deep moisture without ever feeling greasy. Suitable for all skin types oily or dry and of course it is recommended for sensitive skin, young children and babies.

The sunscreen mineral is zinc oxide, which is recognised as the most effective natural screen against sun. Sunscreen without the toxicity. Natural Skin Care comfortable to use on babies, children, adults, grandparents… the whole family!

Cellulite affects 90% of women and we believe 85% of men

At last we have answered the request of many customers by bringing out an effective, 100% Natural Cellulite Oil in conjunction with a plan of attack.

Cellulite is not simple fat, but a way in which your body reacts to a build-up of toxins in the connective tissue in the skin. This then manifests as a honeycomb web of waterlogged and toxin filled tissue. Water retention is when excess fluid in your body builds up and is uncomfortably stored in your tissues.

Cause
Poor circulation
Poor lymph drainage
Lack of oxygen
Unbalanced endocrine system
Water retention
Allergy – especially wheat and milk
Hormonal Changes
Toxicity – environment and/or diet

The Cellulite Solution
We emphasise that this is a combined effort of addressing lifestyle, taking action and regular treatment. Our Natural Cellulite Oil offers a comprehensive solution to the problem of cellulite by treating its causes and effects.

Seven point plan of attack:
1. Increase blood circulation with Exfoliation and skin brushing with real bristles—upward movements in the shower (lymph drainage)

2. Exercise
A large part of treating cellulite is creating a lifestyle which helps manage fat in the body. By building muscle mass in cellulite affected areas such as legs and buttocks we help burn fat which avoids it turning into cellulite. Muscles also work to stretch and smooth dimpled skin. As a result legs will be firmer and you will feel and look great!

3. Massage every day
One great technique to smooth cellulite build-up is to massage cellulite areas daily with a body brush. You can do so in the shower or on dry skin. To help increase circulation under the skin massage with an exfoliating body wash. This also helps to stimulate blood flow and get fat cells moving elsewhere!

4. Cellulite Oil
combined especially for cellulite - add to bath to penetrate skin by osmosis. Whilst in the bath, pinch and pummel cellulite areas to assist in breaking down fatty deposits.

5. Increase Oxygen flow - breathe deeply. Breathing is vital.

6. Relaxation to shift toxins, waste and fat.

7. Address your Diet
Increase intake of vitamins and minerals, raw vegetables including bean sprouts - all soaked and scrubbed. Cut out Tea, Coffee, Alcohol

Important Note: Wild Natures Cellulite Oil does not contain aminophylline, a harsh chemical used to treat asthma. While some cellulite cream manufacturers claim aminophylline reduces cellulite, this is not proven by substantial research

What's the difference between Antioxidant Serum and Repair Oil

Another good question has been raised about Organic Aloe Vera Skin Care Products:

Antioxidant Serum contains the following all natural Ingredients:

Pure Organic Aloe Vera, Evening Primrose, Carrot oil, Avocado oil, Borage seed oil,
Wheat germ, Jojoba oil, Hyssop & Sweet Almond oil, Rose & Neroli. Vitamin A,B,C,D and E – all naturally contained – nothing synthetic and nothing that is not an antioxidant in its own right.

Antioxidant Serum is the skin care treatment recommended to anyone over 35 with normal to dry skin and skin damage on their face, neck, decollatage and/or back of the hands. (95% of our customers will have some skin damage at this age and above!)

Antioxidant Serum is a highly concentrated treatment that:

• addresses skin damage
• enriches and nourishes skin
• protects your skin against further damage from the sun/pollutants/air-conditioning - everyday living.

The carefully selected organic ingredients make Antioxidant Serum the most superior treatment in our range and in the market place for that matter.

We have not found 1 other product that contains so many beneficial ingredients in quantities sufficient to truly fight and strengthen your skin.

This Serum is a 100% Antioxidant Treatment to fight free radicals and protect against further attack.

Organic Aloe Vera Daily Repair Oil contains the following Ingredients:

Sweet Almond oil, Calendula oil, Pure, Organic Aloe Vera, Apricot oil, vitamin E and B5, Ylang Ylang, Chamomile, Lavender, Grapefruit seed extract

The Organic Repair Oil is a very effective and inexpensive treatment for your face and body.

This is a full face and body moisturiser for Men and Women; from very young and old.

• Calendula is very good at repairing the skin, preventing stretch marks and addressing scar tissue
• Remaining Ingredients are excellent at moisturising, feeding and protecting your skin against further dehydration.

We sell both the Antioxidant Serum and the Daily Repair oil together in our various Natural Skin Care Packs:

Antioxidant Serum should be used am and pm on face, neck, decollatage and back of the hands.

The Repair Oil becomes a powerful carrier oil for the Antioxidant Serum (which is highly concentrated). With wet hands add 1 pump of Antioxidant Serum to a tear drop of Repair oil and then apply that to the rest of the body –

Toxins in Skin Care

Check your bathroom cupboard now!

Check out your current personal care products. If they contain any of the following, you may like to reconsider your usage.

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
This harsh detergent and emulsifier, often derived from petroleum, strips the skin of its natural oils, increasing skin permeability and thereby facilitating entry of other toxic ingredients into the dermis and bloodstream. A known skin irritant, SLS also has the potential to cause eye problems, cataracts, blindness, major organ damage, immune system damage, skin and hair problems, respiratory illness, headaches and vomiting. SLS is found in dried food and almost anything that requires lathering including toothpaste, shampoo, body wash and some moisturizers.

Formaldehyde
This preservative causes skin reactions and has been linked to cancer, eye, nose and throat irritation, coughing, skin rashes, contact dermatitis, asthma, shortness of breath, nose bleeds, nausea, vomiting, chest pains and dizziness. Formaldehyde is used in nail polish, nail hardeners, mascara, soap, shampoo, anti-aging cream, bubble bath and deodorant.
The following chemicals are derived from Formaldehyde and are also best avoided.
• Imidazolidinyl urea (can cause contact dermatitis)
• Diazolidinyl urea (can cause contact dermatitis)
• 2-bromo-2nitropane-1
• 3-diol
• DMDM hydantoin
• Quaternium 15

Isopropyl alcohol
Derived from petroleum, this anti-foaming agent causes hair damage, skin irritation and is neurotoxic to the liver, respiratory and gastrointestinal systems and the kidney. It is also teratogenic (causing foetal /birth defects). Used in hair colours, moisturisers, aftershave lotion, nail enamel, antifreeze, carpet cleaner and more.

Paraffin
Derived from petroleum or tar, this is a non-renewable resource that has a negative environmental impact. While the skin initially feels smoother it is merely the layer that paraffin forms the smooth layer. Skin is dried out by any petroleum based product. This perpetuates the cycle of continued product use to prevent the dryness, which the product is actually contributing to. Used in cold cream, wax strips, moisturisers, body oils and more.

Petrolatum (Petroleum jelly)
An incredibly cheap mineral oil derivative that actually leads to skin dryness, funnily enough this is used in moisturisers and lip balms that claim to relieve dry skin and lips! Talk about self perpetuating products!

Methylisothiazolinnone
This preservative causes allergic reactions and skin irritations.


Propylene glycol
This humectant is usually a petrochemical mix and has been known to cause allergic reactions, hives and eczema. It provides texture and stability and is also found in brake fluid and anti-freeze. Try to avoid the chemicals below which are related to propylene glycol.
• PEG (polyethylene glycol) (A by-product of PEG-stearate-20 was used during WW1 as a toxic gas)
• PPG (polypropylene glycol)

Methyl, Propyl, Butyl and Ethyl Parabens
Used as preservatives to extend shelf life, Parabens can trigger skin irritation and allergic reactions. They can disrupt the endocrine system through oestrogen mimicking properties. Some studies have linked paraben exposure to breast cancer.

Fragrance
This vague term can be referring to any of up to 200 synthetic fragrances, none of which are required to be labeled separately. Often petroleum based, fragrances can cause dizziness, skin irritation and hyper pigmentation (which is why some people have brown marks where they put perfume)
“Fragrance –free” products may still contain smell masking chemicals.

DEA (diethanolamine) and MEA (monoethanolamine)
These chemicals are ‘amines’ (ammonia compounds) and can form cancer-causing nitrosamines when they come into contact with nitrates. Used as emulsifiers and foaming agents, they cause eye, hair and skin irritation and are toxic if continually absorbed over a long period of time. DEA is known to cause liver and kidney tumours in mice. DEA is still used in many products in Australia, despite international warnings. These chemicals cause allergic reactions, irritate eyes and dry the hair and skin. Put simply any product with MEA or DEA listed individually or in combination (e.g. cocamide DEA) should be avoided.

Artificial Colours
FDC RED 4, FDC RED 1 or FOOD RED 1, should all be avoided. They are banned in food but can still be used in cosmetics and are known to cause urinary bladder polyps and wasting of the adrenal glands.

Coal Tar
(FD & C) and (D & C) colours should be avoided. Derived from petroleum coal tars have been linked to asthma, headaches, nausea, fatigue, nervousness and lack of concentration. Coal Tars are confirmed human carcinogens and skin irritants. They are thought to increase risk of tumour growth. Used in anti-dandruff shampoos and to colour cosmetics.

TEA (Triethanolamine)
Emulsifier, skin irritant and mutagen (causing changes in cellular DNA) TEA is also a contact allergen causing eczema. Used in skincare products and to coat conventionally grown fruits and veggies.

Tallow
Watch out vegetarians!! This is used in lipstick, soap and shaving cream and is made from boiled sheep organs.

Fluoride
In toothpaste this may cause a reduction in dental cavity risk however it has also been
linked with cancer, hypothyroidism, osteoporosis, birth defects, increased risk of various fractures, dental and skeletal fluorosis and impaired brain function.
Fluoride is also found in many products that contain water.

Phthalates
Used as plasticizers in thousands of plastic products to make them more flexible. Examples include toys, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, detergents, vinyl, food packaging and food containers.
• DBP (dibutylphthalate)
• DEP (diethylphthalate)
• DMP (dimehtyphthalate)
