Organic soaps: allies in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

We believe it is important to disseminate how you can reduce the risk of having it and treat some of the side effects of chemotherapy, through your personal hygiene routine. Current knowledge about the root causes of breast cancer is insufficient; However, several studies link chemicals in commercial soaps with a risk to your health.

The skin absorbs chemicals

Usually, we forget that the skin is a permeable organ. Have you thought about how much it absorbs from everyday cosmetics? The fact is that there are more than two million pores in our skin, and about 60% of topical applications are absorbed by our skin. Industrialized soaps contain many harmful chemicals and preservatives.

What toxic ingredients are hidden in industrialized soaps?

• Parabens : They are one of the most used chemical compounds in the cosmetic industry. The University of Reading found parabens in breast tumor biopsies, suggesting a possible connection to breast cancer.
• Formol : This chemical is easily absorbed through the skin, can cause asthma, and some studies indicate that it may be carcinogenic.
• Triclosan : Present in soaps, shampoos and toothpastes, it has been linked to an increased risk of cancer, in addition to interfering with the normal functioning of thyroid and reproductive hormones.
• Ammonium Cations: Ammonium compounds are used in fabric softeners to make clothes appear softer. They are known to trigger asthma attacks and are believed to interfere with our reproductive system.
• Synthetic dyes: Artificial dyes can be found in all types of personal care products, soaps and detergents. They are petroleum derivatives and can increase the risk of skin irritation and sensitivity.
• PEGS: They are used in personal care products such as shampoo, body wash, and soap to make the ingredients gentler on the skin. During production, products become contaminated with dioxane, a known human carcinogen.
• Petroleum-derived sulfates: These are very common foaming agents in shampoos, body washes, hand soaps, and laundry detergents. They can cause irritation in skin, rashes, allergic reactions and hormonal disruption.

Consume organic soaps

The difference in buying handmade soaps is that, in addition to nourishing your skin with the best ingredients, they do not contain uncertain chemicals. This is vital to not contaminate your body and reduce, in certain cases, the risk of having breast cancer.
