When I talk to my new friend about natural soap one day, she told me that she also used natural soap year ago. She also mentions me the brand name of soap that she been used. As I know that brand of soap on their brochure it mentions quite a few times, about the ingredients used in their products being natural. We tend to take for granted that if a company says their products are natural, then that makes them chemical free. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
Some brand names of soap do contain various natural ingredients, but what else they also have? Moreover, some of which are even more toxic in the products
A report published in the Journal of The American College of Toxicology, showed that concentrations as low as 0.5% could cause irritation and concentrations of 10-30% caused skin corrosion and severe irritation. Some soap has concentrations of up to 30%, which the ACT report called "highly irritating and dangerous". Studies have indicated that SLS enters and maintains residual levels in the heart, liver, lungs and brain from skin contact. Other research has indicated sodium lauryl sulfate may be damaging to the immune system, especially within the skin and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes or lungs.
The Chemical and Beauty Industry tell us that "small" quantities of chemicals are "safe" to use on our skin. Think about what happens if we are using these chemicals EACH AND EVERY DAY?
