This is article comes to us from Dr. Teri Dourmashkin, who has a doctorate in Health Education from Columbia University.
Many of us have become more conscious about what we put on our bodies. We now understand that what we slather on our skin does indeed get absorbed. This is the whole premise of using various kinds of patches, such as contraceptives, hormonal balancing products and nicotine patches.
Many of us have become more savvy consumers; we are no longer willing to buy products without doing some research. We now realize the importance of educating ourselves about the toxicity of skin care ingredients.
Gone are the days of mindlessly slathering on creams and lotions without a thought as to whether or not a product is safe. Walk into almost any drug store these days and you will find a myriad of “natural” products that were previously only found in health food stores. Even huge companies that have become household names have jumped on the “natural” bandwagon by sprinkling a few botanical extracts into their products.


Hi…if you are looking for an all natural shampoo without toxic chemicals, that can be tricky to find. However, Terressentials does make a fragrance free one which uses clay minerals to cleanse hair. It is free of stripping detergent cleansers which should cleanse your hair very gently. It can be found at http://www.terressentials.com. Also, if you don’t mind buying from a wonderful company in Australia, they can create a shampoo to meet your needs. They can be found at http://www.ishiki-skin.com. They make wonderful all natural products. Shipping to the states should only be a few dollars more than domestic. They also have great natural mineral make-up…some of the best I’ve ever tried! Let me know if I can be of any other assistance.
I need a fragrance free shampoo. Which is the best one?
