Spa RelaxingMake-up and body care products have been linked to allergic reactions, birth defects, and even cancer. It is a medically recognised fact that our body absorbs significant amounts of what we put on our skin. With certified organic food rapidly becoming the nutrition of choice by the health conscious amongst us, why would we accept any less for our skin? An environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland, Dr. Baillie-Hamilton details how toxins may be linked to dozens of serious health problems, including immune system diseases, neurological disorders, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, hyper-sensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders and childhood health problems. “These chemicals are simply not going to go away,”  Institute reports “pesticides are a likely cause of immune suppression for millions of people throughout the world” and that 25% of the chemicals in the environment are neurotoxins linked to increased incidence of brain disease.
