So why all natural ingredients? Let me tell you a story.
One night, while in the shower, I got to thinking about this news story I heard regarding an internet personality who filled their tub with alcohol and sat in it for long enough for the alcohol to soak into their skin, give them alcohol poisoning, and cause them to die.
That unfortunate story reminded me of what most of us learned in 7th-grade biology, namely that our skin (epidermis) is the largest organ in our body. Anything we put on our skin, at least in some quantity, is soaked into our body, enters our bloodstream, and then makes it way to all of our organs.
While pondering this and washing my body with one of the big-brand body washes, I started to wonder what the ingredients were, and upon examining them, I was disappointed, though not surprised, to learn that most of the ingredients were man-made petroleum-based products.
While we are a Christian company, it doesn’t matter if you believe in creation, evolution, or something else. Our bodies were never made, nor have they ever been able to process petroleum. So why would I slather my body in it multiple times a day? (Think washing your body, shampooing, moisturizing, etc.) Every day, we are essentially microdosing our bodies with poisons. Worse yet, I’m buying these products for my wife and kids to use as well!
To me, that was unacceptable.
So what’s the solution?
The answer came in the form of a pair of bible verses:
Genesis 1:29 – “And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food
Genesis 1:30 – “And to all the beasts of the earth, and to all the birds of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.’
Even if you don’t come from a Christian background and believe in evolution, our bodies have never had to process petroleum, nor have we evolved to have this capability.
Our bodies have, however, been processing and breaking down fats, fruits, vegetables, and natural oils, and if you look back 100 years, this is exactly how they were making these products!
There are many different types of fats and oils that we use in our balms, salves, soaps, and tonics, but we make sure to use only 100% natural products to ensure that they can be absorbed effectively and broken down properly. Additionally, if you’ve never used a product like this, you’ll be surprised at how well it works!
If you think about it, it makes sense, as it’s what our body wants, needs, and is used to processing.
So please, even if you decide you don’t want to go with our products and want to try something from a different company, I implore you to make sure they use ingredients that are natural and healthy, and not lab-made robot parts that your body can’t break down.
