Food for thought
Keep Toxins Out of Toiletry, Soaps and Beauty Products.
My purpose for creating this blog was to encourage people to a greener way of life. One of the issues I had was removing toxins that come in the way of Beauty products and cleaning products. What I found was startling really.
Growing up mainly in Alaska and Washington, there were a few places in-between but this was what I remember most of. Such beautiful places and so Green that I at an early age started studying alternative medicines, I’ve been a follower ever sense.
When I decided to tackle the issue of detergents in my soap I really had no idea how many toxins are put into our beauty and cleaning products.
What Is SLS?
SLS stands for sodium lauryl sulfate. It is a cheap foaming agent used in most shampoos, toothpaste, detergents, floor and car soaps, shaving creams, bubble bath suds, mouthwashes, moisturizers, dis-solvable aspirins, and pesticides.
Here is my first part of many to removing SLS out of our toiletry, soaps and beauty products.
Tea Tree Tooth Paste: 4tbsp Baking Soda 5 drops of Tea Tree oil, 5 tsp of Vegetable Glycerin, 10 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil. Mix and store in your favorite bottle for later use.
Natural Tooth Powder: TOOTH POWDER (Michael’s) this information provided by scrid. Please do your own research to make sure this recipe works for you as I have not personally tried it. I really wanted to share it with my readers looking to remove toxins from the home.
Arrowroot Powder 12 ounces. Orris Root Powder 4 ounces, Baking Powder 1 ounce, Licorice Root Powder 1 ounce, Myrrh Gum Powder 1 ounce, Cloves fresh pwd 1 ounce, Cinnamon fresh pwd 1 ounce, Yerba Mansa Powder 1 ounce, Peppermint Oil 20 drops, Wintergreen Oil 10 drops.
Thoroughly mix all constituents, blend briefly in 1/2 cup batches and remix. When I make my tooth paste I also add a hint of tea tree… works great and is a natural preservative for you toothpaste
Natural Tooth Whitener: 1 Fresh Strawberry and enough baking soda to make a paste. Apply to your teeth leave on for 10 minutes then brush and rinse! You will notice results right away that are free of harmful chemicals.
Tea Tree Oil Mouth Wash: 1 Cup distilled water, 4 drops Tea Tree Oil, 1/2 tsp Myrrh Essential Oil, 2 drops Peppermint Essential Oil Mix in recycled container and store in the refrigerator.
Sodium lauryl sulfate has a cousin, seen in many of the same products: sodium laureth sulfate (aka SLES). Petroleum is converted to ethylene, then oxygen is added to form ethylene oxide. When combined with SLS, the solution becomes SLES. SLES is also a cheap foaming agent (a surfactant), thought by some to be gentler than SLS.
And sometimes in “SLS-free” products, you will see ammonium lauryl sulfate (aka ALS) instead. ALS is also a cheap foaming agent (a surfactant), thought by some to be gentler than SLS or SLES.
SLS Controversy
You may not have heard of SLS at all, or you may have sort of heard it’s not great but don’t really know why. The latter was me, not long ago.
And I was horrified! “Carcinogenic,” “highly damaging to the liver,” “highly irritating and dangerous” were phrases that jumped out at me.
They Do All Agree On Some Things
So what do you do with that conflicting information? You can do your own research and look into the published articles on the subject at the Nation Library of Medicine. There are 800 of them.
Rethink The Whole Thing
We go to the store and purchase a product that some marketer has packaged and called shampoo. We’re supposed to buy it so that our hair can look good. We’re supposed to buy that other product so that our floors can look good (funny, they have many of the same ingredients). And that other product so that our car, our table, our everything else will look good.
Stop and look at what you really need to make your hair, body, and home beautiful. Don’t risk your health because someone said a certain product is the only thing that works. Don’t buy into their marketing.
And this doesn’t mean that you have to risk your pocketbook for a $10 shampoo that doesn’t have all the bad things in it. See if you can find something else that works, something simple.
You can clean your entire house and yourself with only vinegar, baking soda, water, soap, hydrogen peroxide (or tea tree oil), and washing soda. So try it. No need to buy an expensive bottle of something that has 10-15 ingredients in it, trucked from all around the world, packaged, and trucked again to you. Eliminate the excess, for your planet, your pocketbook, for your family’s health.
This is a really fun recipe to create but the bath is amazing and so many options you could use.
Aromatic Jelly Bath Soap: 3 packets of unflavored gelatin, 1/2 a cup liquid soap, 3 tables spoons Vegetable Glycerine, 3 tbsp Dead Sea Salt, 1 cup water, Essential Oils
Use real soap or real liquid soap, just don’t use detergents, almost all soaps for sale in the market arent soaps at all but detergents.
There are a variety of natural soaps to choose from on Mountain Rose Herbs Website choose a soap that best fits your taste and needs.
After finding the perfect soap grate it, dissolve the soap in hot water over heat till it resembles liquid soap, ( amount of water will vary with soap used, just enough to achieve a thick liquid soap ) if you have liquid soap already skip this part. Bring 1 cup water to a boil remove from heat and add gelatin. When Gelatin is completely dissolved add the liquid soapto gelatin mixture. Now you can add Vegetable Glycerin, Sea Salt and essential oils, here are some ideas of different variations, I’ve made a list below just examples, be creative and explore!
With all ingredients added it is time to poor your mixture into a mold refrigerate till formed. Your Bath will be amazing creating an experience based on the essential oils of your choosing healing, uplifting or relaxing aromatic Jelly soap. Wash just like you would with a bar of soap, your Jelly soap will dissolve turning your bath into a blanket of Essential oils.
(9 parts rose, 5 parts clove, 4 parts peppermint.) or(2 parts lemon, 2 parts jasmine, 5 parts grapefruit, 3 parts tuberose, 3 parts bergamot) or keep it simple and add just a few drops of your favorite! So many that the possibilities are endless.
Now that you have added your glycerin, sea salt, essentials oils poor mixture into a mold that you can easily remove your Jelly soap from. Your Jelly soap will dissolve as you bath with it turning your bath into a blanket of Essential oils.

Natural Cleaning Recipes
Pour 1 cup of baking soda followed by 1 cup of vinegar down a slow or clogged drain. If the drain is really clogged, you might want to heat the vinegar first. Wait about 5 minutes and then flush the drain with several quarts of boiling water. Repeat if necessary.
1 cup of baking soda into the washing machine during the rinse cycle to eliminate odors. Brighten whites by adding 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of bleach to the laundry instead of a full cup of bleach. It won’t be as harsh on fabrics and will eliminate the smell of chlorine. You can also use baking soda to make your own all-purpose cleaner by adding a few tablespoons to a spray bottle filled with water.
Use vinegar in the dishwasher for sparkling clean dishes. Fill the well of the rinse dispenser with white vinegar and say goodbye to water spots on glasses. Your dishwasher will be cleaner, too. Pour equal amounts of vinegar and water in a spray bottle to clean windows, mirrors and other glass or chrome surfaces to a streak-free shine. Spray on glass and wipe clean with a newspaper.

Remove mineral and lime deposits from bathroom and kitchen faucets. Soak a paper towel or soft cloth in white vinegar. Wrap around the faucet for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove cloth and rinse thoroughly.
Absorb oil and grease stains on clothing by sprinkling cornstarch directly onto the fabric where it is stained. Let it stand overnight, then brush off and launder as usual.
Combine olive oil with a drop of lemon juice to use as a furniture polish. Rub it into wood to give it a warm shine and wipe off any excess. Lemon juice can also be used as a bleach alternative to brighten whites. Just add a cup to the wash cycle when doing laundry. It’s chlorine free and gentle on clothes.
Fill a spray bottle with hot water and add equal parts of lemon juice and baking soda (about 1/2 tsp. each) for a safe and inexpensive air freshener. Another homemade and fragrant air freshener is to simmer a pan of water with a tablespoon of cinnamon and some cloves mixed in. This recipe does double duty, as it adds humidity to dry air in the home in the winter.
Use toothpaste as a mild abrasive cleanser, especially to shine silver or bathroom faucets and fixtures. Put a dab on an old, soft toothbrush and start cleaning away.
Clean toilet bowels with undiluted vinegar. It’s a natural deodorizer and disinfectant. To clean stains from carpet, mix 1 tsp. of white vinegar and 1 tsp. liquid detergent with cool water, or dampen a clean cloth with vinegar and gently rub the spill until the carpet comes clean.
Use a sponge or cloth to clean and disinfect household surfaces with isopropyl alcohol. While it works great for disinfecting doorknobs, lightswitch covers, and computer keyboards, be sure to wear gloves and use in a well-ventilated area.
Uses for Eucalyptus oil around the house
Aside from medicinal uses, eucalyptus oil can be used around your home to replace many environmentally harsh synthetic chemicals.
Penny, a professional cleaner, wrote to me with these tips:
“I make a spray and wipe with water, eucalyptus oil and some washing up liquid. The idea comes from a hospital cleaner and works well. Proportions are not rocket science. Fill bottle mostly with water – add a slurp of dishwashing liquid and then a capful or thereabouts of 100% eucalyptus. Shake gently to mix. Works well on all surfaces. I use it diluted again in a little water in a bucket and it is great for all those finger marks that are hard to move from laminex finishes.”
- You can also make a general disinfectant for toilets etc and again, it’s a very simple recipe. mix 50 ml (1.6 oz) of eucalyptus oil with a litre (quart) of water. That’s it – you can store it as you would a normal disinfectant.
- Eucalyptus oil can be used neat in order to remove sticker/decal residue from glass
- Add 1-2 teaspoonfuls of eucalyptus oil to your load of washing for a fresh scent along with the anti-microbial benefits
- Use the oil neat to help remove paint, grease and ink from clothes
- If you have a hanging car air freshener that’s almost dead, reinvigorate it by adding a few drops of eucalyptus oil
- Half a teaspoon mixed with half a litre (half quart) of water makes for a good bug repellent for plants
- Use it as a stainless steel cleaner
- To use as a room air freshener, Mix a quarter of a teaspoon or 15 drops of eucalyptus oil with a half teaspoon of vodka, place in an atomizer/spray bottle and add 2 cups of water. This should be quite subtle, so you may need to add more.

Amazing benefits of Fruits
Copper Peptide and alpha hydroxy acids
Finding the Fruity Secret in Skin Care
Facing Facts
We are all affected to some degree by intrinsic, or chronological, aging. As we climb in years, our skin’s ability to remove impurities and exfoliate itself begins to decline. In short, your birthday suit delays taking the rubbish to the curb and results in a buildup of debris on the surface of your skin. Also, the functioning of sweat and oil glands begins to fade and contributes to drying skin. Visible signs of aging skin, such as dryness, fine lines and wrinkles, can actually begin to appear at the tender age of 25.
After 40, however, hormonal changes inhibit collagen production and collagen stores begin to break down. This natural occurrence leads to a thinning of the skin, making the underlying blood-vessel structure more visible at the surface. The thinning leads to a host of other problems as well, such as fragility and increased wound healing time, increased sensitivity to allergens and a loss of elasticity. The skin also loses fat, making it appear less plump and smooth, and suffers, too, a loss of color due to fewer blood vessels in the skin. If that’s not enough working against your countenance, dare we mention gravity?
Then there’s photo aging, the premature aging of the skin caused by sunlight. The term photo aging originates from the fact that only a high-tech UV camera can reveal the damage caused by UV radiation, which is generally invisible to the naked eye. It is estimated that up to 90% of wrinkles are due to excessive exposure to the sun. And this is scary: 80% of photoaging has already occurred by age 18. It just takes a few decades to be able to read the evidence on your face.
Skin-Friendly Fruits
Before you dash off to plant your mug into the cavity of a grapefruit to regain your youthful glow, you should know exactly where fruit-derived alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) come from. They are found in such edibles as pineapple (sorbic acid), grapes (tartaric acid), apples (maltic acid) and even milk (lactic acid). But the applications of these AHAs come from a bottle or tube, not from your refrigerator. When applied to skin, AHAs penetrate the upper layer to “unglue” dead cells that have become stuck together over time. The skin then sloughs off this layer to reveal new, healthy cells that have been, in effect, held hostage underneath. With regular use of AHA products, you can teach your old skin a new trick by helping it to re-establish the natural exfoliation and cell renewal process it once knew so well.
But here’s the bottom line: AHAs not only stimulate skin cell renewal, they are also responsible for long-term benefits such as the reduction of spots and mottling caused by sun damage. What’s more, AHAs enhance moisture retention by enabling the skin’s most important molecules, glycosoaminoglycans and proteoglycans, to absorb water on the skin faster and more effectively. And, in deeper layers of skin, AHAs appear to increase the deposition of collagen, leading to better structural support.
Papaya and pineapple are two of the most popular fruits used in natural peels, since they are both a rich source of AHAs. Each fruit contains a protein-dissolving enzyme, papain and bromelain respectively, that promotes cell renewal and stimulates collagen production. Not all AHAs are derived from fruit, though. Glycolic acid, obtained from sugar cane, is the best-known member of the alpha-hydroxy acid family and has been found to be useful in treating age spots, superficial scars, acne, fine lines and (sometimes) even deeper wrinkles.
The one potential drawback to the use of AHAs is that for some people, they can be irritating. To that end, beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) have come on the scene in recent years. BHAs are less irritating and seem to have a synergistic effect used in combination with AHAs. The most common source of BHA is salicin, a constituent of salicylic acid (aspirin) obtained from the inner white pith of willow bark.
AHAs Don’t Have to Face It Alone
Both sunlight and normal bodily processes foster the formation of free radicals, rogue molecules that harass skin cells. So it makes sense that the addition of certain antioxidants (free-radical fighters) to AHA products is helpful in winning the battle against the signs of aging. When a vitamin C-based topical cream is applied in the form of L-ascorbic acid, the skin is protected from the sun’s UVA rays, which target the deeper layers of skin and destroy the collagen matrix. When combined with vitamin E, L-ascorbic acid also shields against the burning rays (or UVB rays), which actually break down DNA and RNA causing free-radical damage and cell mutation. This form of vitamin C has also demonstrated the ability to stimulate collagen creation by regulating three pro-collagen genes and, when used in a natural face peel, can have a synergistic effect on reversing the evidence of sun damage.
The addition of other ingredients—such as extracts of green tea, chamomile, aloe vera, comfrey and rose hip—help to buffer the burning sensation sometimes experienced when first using AHA products. These added ingredients also offer excellent antioxidant benefits of their own. For instance, Rutgers University conducted a series of studies on the effect of green tea on skin cancer. In one study, skin tumors were spawned in mice by exposing them to ultraviolet-B light and a cancer-causing chemical known as dimethylbenzanthracene. Of the tea-treated group, 65% to 93% evidenced fewer carcinomas, and 60% to 90% had fewer precancerous skin lesions. And, in one lab trial, green tea offered antioxidant protection more than 200 times that of vitamin E.
The Acid Test
Over-the-counter AHA products with a concentration of 5%-20% glycolic acid can be safely used at home. (Concentrations of AHAs below 4% are only slightly hydrating—that’s about all.) Concentrations of 5%-7% help to exfoliate the skin and produce a soft smooth feeling, while regular treatment with 8%-15% concentrations will render significant improvement in skin texture.
But, it’s the pH of the product that really counts. A product containing glycolic acid with a pH of less than 2.0 is very acidic and can actually result in peeling deeper layers of skin, even if the product has a low concentration of acid. For best results, the product should have a concentration of 4%-8% percent glycolic acid and a pH between 3.0 and 4.0, making it more alkaline. Because some manufacturers put this information on labels and others don’t, the best guideline is to choose a product formulated for your specific skin type.
Dry skin responds well to products containing either glycolic or lactic acid, or a combination of both. Both acids are water-binding and act as moisturizers. People with combination and normal skin types should use a glycolic peel every one to two weeks, or a daily AHA lotion of 4%-8% concentration. Those with blemish-prone skin may prefer to use a BHA product to avoid undue irritation; a salicylic acid-based product breaks up and clears away excess oil without over-drying the skin. Oily skin benefits most from a water-based formula that combines AHAs and BHAs to best promote a high degree of initial cell shedding since this skin type is prone to clogged pores.
There is one caveat to using over-the-counter (OTC) alpha-hydroxy products. As Nadine Toriello, esthetician (and owner of All About You Salon and Day Spa in Key West, Florida), cautions: “The best OTC AHAs can do is moisturize, which can temporarily reduce signs of aging by filling the outermost cells with fluid.” Legal restrictions prevent to the sale of OTC alpha-hydroxy products in concentrations of more than 6%, so if it’s intensive treatment you seek, you’ll need to consult with a licensed practitioner.
Since photoaging is by far the major contributor to aging skin, it would be wise to include a SPF (Sun Protection Factor) in all of your cosmetic applications—from lotions to makeup—year round and not just during jaunts to the beach in summer. Also, trust in the adage that less is more. In as little as two weeks’ time, you’ll begin to see marked improvement in the texture and tone of your skin after introducing AHA products. However, don’t become so enthusiastic that you’ll start thinking that more product will yield more and better results. AHA products are not created equal. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s directions. Should any skin irritation persist with a product, discontinue its use and seek the advice of a practitioner or skin care consultant. So, if your skin looks older than you feel, feed it fruit to get back that glow.

Benefits of (Lemons) essential oil and my gift to you. It allows me to thank you while giving you a wonderfully diverse essentcial oil to start with.
Aromatherapy Lemon essential oil has an amazingly wide range of uses. The lemon conjures up images of freshness and cleanliness and sunshine and lemonade.
Research by Jean Valnet, M.D., showed that vaporized Lemon essential oil can kill meningococcus bacteria in 15 minutes, typhoid bacilli in one hour, staphylococcus aureus in two hours and germs causing pneumonia within three hours.
Even a 0.2% solution of Lemon essential oil can kill diphtheria bacteria in 20 minutes and inactivate tuberculosis bacteria. Its antiseptic properties will last for twenty days. It is perfect for destroying air-borne germs in hospital rooms, waiting rooms, and schools. It is particularly effective in neutralizing unpleasant body odors of patients suffering from cancer.
Lemon essential oil is an essential oil with high vibrations, comparable to a high-toned whistle. Sandalwood, in comparison, hums like a bumble bee. Essential oils with high vibrations lifts spirits, especially when one may be feeling mental fatigue.
Lemon especially brings a sense of warmth and fun to intellectual pursuits. Although Lemon essential oil is beneficial for both physical and psychological heaviness, it mostly stimulates the mind, increasing concentration and the ability to memorize.
Brain research concerned with the effects of fragrances has found that Lemon essential oil primarily activates the hippocampus. University researchers in Japan found that diffusing certain aromas in an office environment dramatically improved mental accuracy and concentration.
Diffused Lemon essential oil resulted in 54 percent fewer errors. When aromas were diffused during test taking, scores increased by as much as 50 percent. In other research Lemon essential oil has shown to have antidepressant effects.
A 1995 Mie University study found that citrus fragrances boosted immunity, induced relaxation, and reduced depression. Lemon essential oil is an immune stimulant. It increasess white blood cells, improves microcirculation and is antiseptic.
Lemon essential oil consists of 68 percent d-limonene, a powerful antioxidantLemon has an approximate ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) of 6,619 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter. D-limonene has been extensively studied for its ability to combat tumor growth in over 50 clinical studies.
Some Great Therapeutic Uses for Lemon Essential Oil
For colds or throat and mouth infections, gargling with Lemon essential oil (2 drops diluted in half a glass of water) and taking Lemon essential oil orally by adding it to a propolis tincture is helpful.
Place a drop of Lemon essential oil on cold sores, herpes or other mouth ulcers to lessen pain and aid in healing.
For treatment of itchy eczemas and measles add Lemon essential oil to a sponge bath (1-2 drops to a quart of water)
Lemon essential oil because of its vitamin C content is beneficial for treating anemia.
Since oils strengthen vascular tissues, it is used for treating varicose veins by improving circulation and relieving pressure on the veins. It may be applied in skin lotions and compresses, mixed in a 1 to 1 ratio with Cypress essential oil.
Lemon essential oil acts as an astringent, an antiseptic, a disinfectant, and a styptic that stops wounds from bleeding. It becomes an excellent remedy when used in a compress or as a cleanser for treating bleeding wounds. Put a drop of Lemon essential oil on bleeding gums caused by gingivitis or tooth extraction.
Essential Lemon essential oil taken orally will help counteract a high acid content in body fluids by stimulating production of potassium carbonate, a neutralizing substance and is a preferred remedy for rheumatism and gout, since it cleanses the body of uric acid, a side effect of high acidity. In this case, the oil may be taken both orally and topically.
Lemon essential oil is a very good stimulant of the body’s own immune system. It activates white blood cell formation and helps protect the body during flu epidemics.
Rub a drop of Lemon essential oil on a wart morning and night until it disappears. Rub a drop of Lemon oil on a corn, callous or bunion mornings and evenings. Rub two drops of Lemon essential oil topically to clear athlete’s foot.
Rub several drops of Lemon essential oil on cellulite to improve circulation and help eliminate waste from the cells.
Put a drop of Lemon essential oil on oily skin or acne to balance sebaceous glands (oil glands).
CAUTION: Citrus oils should NOT be applied to skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light within 24 hours.
Some Great Household Uses for Lemon Essential Oil
Use 6-12 drops of Lemon essential oil in a spray bottle mixed with distilled water to use in the bathroom as an air freshener. Or you can diffuse Lemon essential oil to clean and disinfect the air in any room.
Use 1-2 drops of Lemon essential oil to remove gum, oil, grease spots or crayon.
Add 2-3 drops of Lemon essential oil to water and spray counter tops to sterilize them.
Soak your dishcloth overnight in a bowl of water and a drop of Lemon essential oil to disinfect and kill germs.
Add a drop of Lemon essential oil to your dishwasher before the wash cycle.
Rub a drop of Lemon essential oil on your hands after using a public bathroom.
Use a paper towel soaked with several drops of Lemon essential oil to sanitize bathroom fixtures and toilet seats.
Rub a drop of Lemon essential oil to clean a butcher’s block or other cutting surfaces.
Put 10-15 drops of Lemon essential oil in each gallon of carpet cleaning solution to help pull out stains and brighten the rug. This also leaves a fresh smell in the room.
Use 30 drops of Lemon essential oil in the washing machine instead of chlorine bleach.
Put Lemon rinds in your garbage disposal to disinfect.
