Down and Dirty

by Melissa Paris

It’s certainly no surprise that the common household products we use to clean our homes with contain toxic and harmful ingredients. What you may not know is exactly HOW harmful they are to our health. Did you know that manufacturers are not obliged by U.S. law to list all the ingredients in consumer products or to test their products for safety? It’s up to you to be able to come home to a not only clean but toxic free environment!!
Unfortunately, it isn’t that easy figuring out which products contain hazardous ingredients.. even though cleaners are the only household products regulated by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission under the Federal Substances Labeling Act, their sellers aren’t required to reveal the products’ ingredients. There are so many hidden and dangerous chemicals that we don't know about! Fortunately, as of 2012, SC Johnson agreed to disclose preservatives and a master list of all fragrance chemicals.

Do You Wear Protection?

by Melissa Paris

PLEASE tell me you put on SUNSCREEN. You may notice that there are many different levels of sunscreen, some with higher SPF's and some with lower amounts of SPF... so which one should you get? Let me just give you a quick background on sunscreens. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor, and only protects against ultraviolet B rays (UVB), which causes sun burn and increased risk of skin cancer. The other type of ultraviolet radiation (UV) is called ultraviolet A, which penetrates the skin more deeply than UVB but contributes more to aging, wrinkly skin and loss of elasticity. Both UV rays contribute to skin cancer, and no matter how much sun screen you put on, there is no full protection against skin cancer. But know this!
