Avoiding Allergies with Organic Lotion - and Discover the Major Skin Benefits for the Entire Family, From Babies on Up

Why Go Organic For Skincare?

After all, your family has been using the same products for years with no harsh side effects… or has it? Allergies, skin complaints and more serious problems like cancer can slowly become manifest as the result of continual use of commercial skin care products. Depending on your age, skin care products that are completely organic can help you to avoid numerous ailments and illnesses as well as keep your skin looking and feeling much younger than it otherwise would!

Avoiding the Toxin Trap for Babies
If you are faced with store shelves full of creams, lotions and potions when trying to purchase something for diaper rash then you could be forgiven for not choosing organic baby lotion - it does tend to be much more expensive! But prices are also an indication of value - and this is most likely the case when you consider how the benefits far outweigh the negatives associated with regular commercial creams. Take the use of substances like formaldehyde, diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA). All three can be dangerous because they are toxic so, not only will they affect the skin in the short term, but can also cause long term allergies, skin complaints, cancer and even sudden death. Many parents have started trying to reduce illness by dressing their children in organic clothing. So it is also essential to take these organic steps a little further and consider organic lotion, such as this certified baby lotion.

Organic Skin Care into Adulthood
When you begin to make your own decisions about what to apply on your skin, organic skin lotions should still be your first choice. The primary reason would no doubt be the overall health of your skin. As we hit our twenties, skin cells begin to degenerate and find it far more difficult to renew and grow. Unfortunately, this can lead to signs of aging because skin cells find it more difficult to retain moisture, elastin and collagen, all of which keep the skin firm and youthful. Commercial lotions can actually dehydrate the skin further because of the toxins and chemicals in them. Organic skin products are intrinsically different in this regard and can help to heal the cells and resist allergies to external elements that could otherwise damage the cells still further.

Even Seniors Can Benefit From Organic Products
You might think that the skin care products you use are irrelevant when you reach a certain age but again that is just not true. Your choice of organic face cream or body lotion has been proven to have an impact on your health. This is largely a result of the indiscriminate use of parabins in non-organic lotions.
Parabins primary commercial function is to extend the life of the products (the expire by date). Unfortunately they will attach themselves to estrogen receptors in women when applied to skin. This could cause breast cancer. Why is this only an issue when you enter your senior years? The levels of parabins in lotion are so low that they are unlikely to have an immediate impact - however they do accumulate in the skin cells over time. As such, they are more likely to cause cancer after years of using the commercial lotions that contain them! Using organic lotions can prevent this because there would be no build up of such substances in the skin. 

The Golden Rule of Organic Skin Care
There is only one rule when using organic creams and lotions, no matter how old you are. Make sure that all creams you choose are 100% organic with no harmful substances making up the 5% of a product that does not have to conform to organic rules. Yes, products only have to be 95% organic to be labelled as such. Check the label and you will also get peace of mind!
