Product in Practice - EnviroCloth

So today I experienced the great cleaning power of the EnviroCloth! I had a can of Coke sitting on the floor (I know, not a wise idea!) Nathan came over and accidentally knocked over the can on our light beige carpet..yikes!!! Normally I would grab the paper towel and soak up as much as I could. Then grab a carpet cleaner and scrub out the stain. But instead, I grabbed an EnviroCloth. The cloth absorbed all of the Coke - and I can't even see the spot on the carpet!! This is one of those times I wished I had taken a picture!!

What is in our body care products?

Since joining Norwex, I have become more aware of the chemicals that go unnoticed in our lives. One of these areas that was most informative for me was the area of personal care products.

In doing some research on-line, I came across the Skin Deep Cosmetic Safety Database . You can search this database for the personal care products you currently use (shampoo, lotions, toothpaste etc) and it rates the ingredients on a scale of 0-10 (0 being not hazardous to your health and 10 being extremely hazardous). But not only that, you can then find products that rate better than your current products. Another way to search is by ingredient.

If you don't have time to look up your products, then here is a list of some of the common chemicals to avoid:

Mineral oil and silicon
Synthetic emulsifiers like PEG (polyethylene glycol)
Viscosity controlling agents like Carbomer
Preservatives such as formaldehyde releasers, parabens, or phenoxyethanol
Synthetic perfumes
Synthetic dyes; and
Synthetic solvents like propylene glycol.

The skin is the body's largest organ, so it is important for us to be aware of what we are putting on it!! Feel free to ask me about Organic Skin Care options from Norwex!
