NATURAL, ORGANIC, PRESERVATIVE-FREE SKIN CARE AND ANTI-AGING SOLUTIONS
At Port Moody Naturopathic Health & Wellness we encourage our patients to minimize their exposure to daily toxicities. For many people, one of the largest sources of toxicity comes from the products we put on our skin! The skin is the largest organ in the body. Anything we put on our skin is directly absorbed into the lymphatic and blood circulatory systems and deposited to various tissues in the body - much like nutrients from the food we consume are absorbed through the gut and distributed to tissues. That means if the product is not safe enough to ‘eat’ you should not be putting it on your skin!
Here is a list of just some of the most toxic chemicals found in most skin care products and ones you should avoid by reading labels on the side of the package - many of which are potentially carcinogenic, clog pores and have been linked to hair loss:
Mineral oil, paraffin and petrolatum
Parabens, methylparabens
Phenol carbolic acid
Propylene glycol
Sodium laurel sulfate
Tolulene
Dioxanes

Keep in mind that although the right topical applications can be powerful agents for your skin’s appearance, beauty and anti-aging must be addressed from the inside-out. Our diet and lifestyle practices will often manifest on our face and skin, so be sure to address the internal physiological imbalances that may be preventing you from having that beautiful clear, glowing and youthful skin you desire!
