Do you know what’s in your body wash? Most people don’t realize all of the toxic chemicals that are found in the beauty, bath, and body products on the shelves of their favorite stores.
All you have to do is take a look at the back of a bottle of body wash to see a long list of ingredients with names that are difficult to pronounce. Because of this, focusing on natural products such as natural body washes has become increasingly popular.
As people become more aware of the types of products they are putting on their skin and the negative effects they can have, there has been a definite shift towards being more intentional about buying and using natural, non-toxic products.
Natural body wash is made from natural ingredients such as coconut oil, goat milk, shea butter, essential oils, and more.
The thing that separates the natural body wash from most commercially available body washes is that it won’t contain a long list of lab-made chemicals as part of its ingredients and will instead focus on ingredients that can be found in, or extracted from nature.
Natural body products, like body wash, are almost always going to be more gentle on your skin than anything made artificially.
Body washes made with naturally derived ingredients are free of many of the chemical irritants that are found in most body washes that you’ll find in your local stores.
When you compare the ingredients of natural body wash to a body wash made of synthetic chemicals, you’ll see a big difference in their ingredients list. If you take the time to look up some of these ingredients, you may be shocked to see that they’re actually very toxic and here we are slathering it onto our skin every time we shower.
One very common example of this, that actually seems pretty harmless, is the ingredient “fragrance”. Because this can be any number of synthetic chemicals, it can be hard to say what you’re actually putting on your body and many fragrances can cause irritation and allergic reactions, but also more serious problems such as endocrine disruption. Most body washes contain a long list of ingredients that the EWG would consider of high concern.
Because natural body washes are made from natural ingredients, they do much less damage when you wash them off your skin and they go down into the shower drain.
Synthetic chemicals such as Triclosan, which is found in many body washes, can have detrimental effects to plant and animal life when it goes into the waterways and can’t be filtered out before moving into rivers and oceans.
These chemicals can change their biochemistry, cause cancer, and also build up in the animals that people consume causing humans to also ingest these toxic ingredients.
It seems like a no brainer to switch to a natural body wash if you have the option to do so. While there are some expensive options out there, there are also many more affordable options and when your health and the environment are on the line it’s crucial to seriously consider the switch.
