Chemicals in baby products link to reproductive problems

(Article by Julie Hurley for NaturalNews.com)

A new study brings to light a potentially dangerous link between chemicals used in ordinary products, such as baby shampoos and lotions, to reproductive problems in children. The chemicals, called phthalates, have been under attack by some environmental advocacy groups, according to a Feb. 4, 2008 AP News article, although experts are uncertain what dangers they might pose.

The study, which appears in the February issue of the journal Pediatrics, found elevated levels of phthalates in the urine of babies who recently had baby products applied to them. The federal government does not limit their use, even though California and some European countries will have restricted their use beginning in 2009. Although the Food and Drug Administration stated that this study “has no compelling evidence that phthalates pose a safety risk when used in cosmetics,” it has many parents paying closer attention to what products they are putting on their children.

“We really need to take a look at the number of products we use on a daily basis and figure out what we truly need,” said Stacy Malkan, spokeswoman for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics and author of Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Cosmetic Industry.

Men’s Skincare Regime

What he should be doing but probably isn’t – Article from CareFair.com

Since the invention of the word “metrosexual,” men have been a more willing to consider an actual skincare regime, but many still aren’t performing the basics of skincare. It should be stated for the record that not taking care of your skin has equally adverse affects on women and men – this means wrinkles. Lucky for the men that society deems you “rugged” instead of just plain old, but tell the truth – if you had the choice to have wrinkles or not, wouldn’t you choose not?  

So, here’s what you should be doing . . .

Arbonne in the Spotlight

Independent review by Sean Hagon – for Ezinearticles:

Arbonne is a wellness based company located in Irvine, California and the company has been offering products, since 1980.

Their products, which are based on natural, botanical principles, are now shared through a home based business opportunity by marketing and selling their products through MLM or multi-level marketing.

Arbonne’s product line has grown to include both inner and outer health and beauty products that are pure, safe, and beneficial. This includes skin care, nutrition, weight management, fitness, life enhancement and remedy products. Their pure Swiss Skin care product line is formulated in Switzerland and is then manufactured in the United States. In addition, the Arbonne products are similar to Mary Kay, which is another direct selling company in the home based business industry. Similar to Mary Kay, the products are marketed primarily through individual representatives hosting home parties. Testimonials from users of the products have included improved skin, increased energy, weight loss and more.

Upon further review of Arbonne’s compensation plan, it is comprised of a uni-level compensation plan. This plan is direct and is easy to understand. In addition, there are no limits to the amount of people a new associate can sponsor and place on their team. The compensation plan also includes performance-based incentives and other bonuses for distributors. The only issue with this uni-level compensation plan is the sponsoring qualifications. Requirements must be met by an associate in order for them to reach higher levels in the compensation plan.

Arbonne Aromatherapy

From Ezinearticles.com 20th August 2008

Formulated in Switzerland and made in the USA, Arbonne Skin Care Aromatherapy is the product of a company whose name is synonymous with quality. Created in 1975 by Petter Mork and a specially selected group comprised of bio-chemists, biologists and herbalists, Arbonne began selling to the United States in 1980. They have relied on botanical principles to create their extensive line of health and beauty products including their new Arbonne Skin Care Aromatherapy line.

All Arbonne products are all natural and ethically made. Never tested on animals and formulated without using animals or animal bi-products, their products are animal friendly. They are also hypoallergenic, made without dyes or chemical fragrances, making the products skin friendly as well.

When using Arbonne Skin Care Aromatherapy, you not only cleanse your skin with a specially chosen formula created to go with your skin type, you cleanse your mind with special scents specified to your needs. Aromatherapy has been used for centuries to stimulate or relax the mind and body and Arbonne has combined this ancient practice with very modern skin care formulas, creating a unique experience coupled with beautiful results. Awaken, Reactivate and Unwind are the three Aroma essentials to choose from and they embody the art of joining long held knowledge with today’s technology.

Awaken combines lemon and coriander to add a spring to your step every morning. Lemon is known for its toning abilities, the naturally high acid content helps it to strip away dead skin leaving behind a fresh bright clean feeling. Coriander’s distinctive scent leaves you feeling bubbly. Use the Sea Salt Scrub and Shower Gel in the mornings and feel their influence throughout your morning. A quick spritz of the Rejuvenating Mist or a little Body Lotion when things slow down and you will be picked right back up!

Reactivate is for a little later in the day, spicy and warm it was developed to give confidence while perking you up for the rest of the day. Pepper, ginger and jasmine comprise the Reactive essential oil and are the base through which the line was developed. The pepper and ginger were chosen for their confidence giving aromas and jasmine was used to top it off with a flower fresh scent. Featuring a Body Lotion and Rejuvenating Mist, this line was specially developed to pick you back up when the day starts dragging.

Unwind is relaxation in a bottle. Combing ylang ylang and chamomile, it’s like a warm mug of tea for your skin. Comforting scents sooth tired muscles and moisturize while also conditioning your skin. Bath Salts and the Bath and Shower Gel in a nice warm bath get you ready for bed, use the Body Lotion when you get out or, if you’re lucky, someone can give you a rub down with the Unwind Massage Oil. You can even spray a little Rejuvenating Mist on your pillow to top it all off.

As you can tell the people at Arbonne put together their best when they created the Arbonne Skin Care Aromatherapy line. Use all three or just your favorite; you will not be sorry you did.
