Steve Reed's Articles Display Category|Title|Newest|Oldest True Antibacterial Soap at Last Guy Sako likes a good defense. After all, he’s a father and a wrestling coach, as well as a Cleveland Police Officer. A good defense is critical in all three of those occupations. Yet after many years of coaching, Sako became increasingly alarmed at the lack of defense his wrestlers’ bodies had against some of the smallest opponents they would ever face – bacteria and fungi. Phthalates – What? The latest and maybe the greatest concern on the personal care product market – maybe in every market today – is phthalates. Huh? It’s confusing to spell and appears impossible to pronounce – and who has ever heard of these chemicals before and why are we hearing about them now? Skin Deep: Educate Yourself About What You Are Putting On Your Body Consider this: Our skin is the single largest organ of our bodies. A high percentage of what we put on it – some estimate the percentage as high as 60% -- goes directly into our systems. My wife brought it home to me a few years ago when I insisted on putting a better brand of gasoline in our car rather than simply the cheapest kind. “You go to the trouble to read about octane levels, cleaner emissions, employment practices, and environmental impacts when you choose a gasoline for your car,” she said. “Why don’t you go to the same effort to protect your body as you do to protect your car?” Take Action For Safe Cosmetics The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics is working to convince cosmetics companies to phase out toxic chemicals and make cleaner, greener, healthier products for all of us. Vashon Organics has signed the Safe Cosmetics Pact and is working to ensure our children will not face (pun intended) the same list of risky ingredients that most of us face today. The list of harmful ingredients included in major cosmetic brands is long and frightening. And the list of products that contain these ingredients is even longer. Don’t the major cosmetic manufacturers care about what they’re doing to their customers? The will – but only if we speak up. Active Manuka Honey: Incredible Healing Properties Honey has been used throughout the ages as a medicinal treatment for wounds and other topical skin conditions. We don’t know just when early man discovered the healing properties of honey, but evidence has been found to indicate that honey was used as an antibacterial agent by ancient Egyptians thousands of years before bacteria were discovered to be the cause of infections. Today we are entering another age of enlightenment. We are enjoying a rebirth of natural remedies and ingredients in response to the risks presented by questionable chemical ingredients in products that include the food we eat, the containers we use to package our food, and most recently the cosmetics and skin care we regularly slather on our bodies.
