The people that make “The of Story” videos have a relatively new one out that reveals a great deal of information about cosmetics.
So happens, the majority of the cosmetics we buy and use everyday are loaded with carcinogens, neurotoxins and reproductive toxins which are all linked to relatively serious health related problems. Is it any wonder we are sick and diseased all the time when we are using toothpastes with fluoride in them, deodorant with aluminum in them and makeup with lead and carcinogens in them?
The challenge I would like to bring up is, the majority of the cosmetics we do use, how many of them are necessary? A natural toothpaste, a natural deodorant, and some natural shampoo and soap is pretty much all we require. Why do we put our trust in chemical filled shaving creams and lotions? Sunscreens? Make-up? Colognes? Hair Products? If we weren’t so enslaved by the fear of how we look and what others think of us, would we poison our bodies daily? Think about it.

Good video
It seems bizarre to me that, as an aromatherapist working in Auckland, New Zealand, I am not allowed to say on a bottle of custom-made body lotion, made for a client, that a particular essential oil ‘may be useful’ for a particular complaint/or may have certain properties and yet the big companies can call a shampoo a ‘Lavender Aromatherapy’ Shampoo’ and talk about its ‘calming’ effects with impunity!! There no clinical-grade aromatherapy oil in their product, what is used being, rather, a synthetic compound. I use organic essential oils, am fully-trained and work with the greatest care with my clients – and yet, if I was to put anything on my labels, or in my leaflets that is deemed to have broken the extremely strict laws governing the natural therapies world here, I could be sent to prison. Four practitioners already have been! Is it paranoid to think that pharmaceutical companies and the government are in cahoots to make sure the companies continue to make the billions of profit they are making now?!
