Bodycare
Find natural body care information, products and suppliers in Australia.
We are putting an unprecedented amount of chemicals onto and into our bodies every day in our soaps, shampoos, makeup, even tampons.
This chemical load poses health risks: toxins from synthetic chemicals can be asborbed through the skin and breathed in. Many may be harmless but no-one really knows the long-term health impact of exposure to this chemical mix.
It's also bad for the planet; chemicals in the soaps and shampoo we use wash down the plughole end up in our waterways.
There are three ways to reduce the chemicals in our bodycare regimen:
1. Make your own body cleaning products.
2. Choose from a growing range of chemical-free natural bodycare ranges listed in this section of EcoDirectory.
3. Simplify your beauty regime - focus on good diet, exercise, fresh air and water and your skin and hair will look and feel naturally healthier anyway.
