SAFER ALTERNATIVE

Something to avoid...

Here's a quote from the experts at ONEgroup, the manufacturers of MiEssence, the world's first extensive range of certified organic body care products and organic cosmetics:

Anionic Surfactants

"Anionic refers to the negative charge these surfactants have. They may be contaminated with nitrosamines, which are carcinogenic."

"Surfactants can pose serious health threats. They are used in car washes, as garage floor cleaners and engine degreasers - and in 90% of personal-care products that foam."

(here are the ingredients to look out for in the products you buy/use now:)

"QUOTE:

  • Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
  • Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
  • Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate (ALS)
  • Ammonium Laureth Sulfate (ALES)
  • Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate
  • Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
  • Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate
  • Potassium Coco Hydrolysed Collagen
  • TEA (Triethanolamine) Lauryl Sulfate
  • TEA (Triethanolamine) Laureth Sulfate
  • Lauryl or Cocoyl Sarcosine
  • Disodium Oleamide Sulfosuccinate
  • Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
  • Disodium Dioctyl Sulfosuccinate etc
    END QUOTE"

    You won't find any of these in ONEgroup's MiEssence brand - which are 100% natural - and contain no synthetic and potentially toxic ingredients.

    See ONEgroup's informative website and 'click' resources then 'understanding ingredients' for more details that you should know about the products you may be using. You can also try their 100% natural, 100% beneficial - certified organic products by ordering online. It is certainly a safer alternative to use these products and get these 'anionic surfactants' OUT of your body care regime!
