More than ever, we are seeing that what's in the products we put on our bodies is just as important as the food we put in our bodies. Personal use and cosmetic products regularly contain some of the most harmful ingredients to your skin, hormones, and other body systems.
Most of us assume personal care products on the market today have been tested or approved by the government. However, they are largely unregulated. In the USA, the Food and Drug Administration does not even require the basic safety testing of ingredients in personal care products before they are used.
In the journal Archives of Toxicology, Belgian researchers analyzed 114 opinions on the safety of 101 cosmetics ingredients published by the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety. They focused on the results of repeated use and found that the liver, blood, and kidneys are most commonly affected by cosmetics ingredients.
At Santosha Wellness & Beauty, we believe that you shouldn't have to compromise your health to enjoy skin and body products, makeup, or perfume. This is why we are committed to only offering high quality non-toxic products in our spa services and for your home beauty rituals. We use our purchasing power to partner with award-winning Canadian brands that put the health of their people and the planet above profits by choosing ethically sourced organic or fair-trade ingredients.
