Guest guest Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Chemical Ingredients List http://www.saje.ca/chemical_ingredient_list.html Did you know that the average person exposes themselves to 200 different chemicals every day through health and beauty care products? Although some commercial products contain a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients, the inclusion of the synthetics unfortunately diminishes the effectiveness of the natural components. Read the ingredient listings of some commercial skin or body care products - you will be amazed at the chemical cocktails that many of them contain. Some of these harmful chemicals molecules can even penetrate through the skin into the bloodstream and are stored in the body as toxins. The chemical molecules that are too big to absorb through the pores sit on top of the skin, contributing to clogged pores and un-natural oiliness. Saje's natural remedies, skin care and body care products contain only 100% natural ingredients - no synthetics, chemicals, fragrances, or preservatives. The inclusion of powerful Essential Oils - Nature’s “life forceâ€, in these formulas not only acts as the preserving agent in the products, but also help rejuvenate and support the natural functions of the skin, body, and immune system. Essential Oils are easily absorbed by the skin, and therefore act on a deeper level on the muscle tissue, organs, and hormones. The below list highlights some of the more widely used and common chemical ingredients found in every day personal care products. Remember this is just a partial list of the tens of thousands of synthetic chemicals in common everyday use! Choose products that support your immune system, not deplete it.
