GEL-TO-MILK Cleanser

• It is very important to know how cleansing works. Water is a key ingredient, naturally. With it, all water soluble impurities, dust, oil-free impurities and salt are washed off
• Soap is only used to remove oily impurities on your skin by dissolving them
• The skin is generally quite robust, but harsh cleansers, in particular, can be detrimental and the consequences of continued abuse will manifest years later
• The good news is that pure oil with its exceptionally mild, but effective degreasing properties, offers a great alternative to soap
• Gel-to-Milk is formulated with a natural oil thickener, made from Sugar Beet, that holds oil in a stable creamy gel. When water is added the creamy gel changes into an oil-rich but very light, cleansing milk that simultaneously cleanses and conditions your skin

• Free from chemical ingredients and preservatives that cause DNA mutations, endocrine disruptions and cancer

"Applying toxins to our skin is almost the same as eating it! But if we dished up a plate of sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate (SLS/SLES), dioxane, parabens, propylene glycol, triclosan, synthetic fragrance and diethanolamine (DEA) – we know that we wouldn’t eat it but many of us are still happy to put these chemicals on our skin! Sodium lauryl sulphate is a surfactant, detergent and emulsifier used in nearly all toxic cleansers. SLS originates from coconuts, however, during the manufacturing process, SLES/SLS becomes contaminated with 1,4 dioxane, a carcinogenic byproduct. SLS breaks down the skin's moisture barrier, easily penetrates the skin, and allows other chemicals to penetrate by increasing skin permeability by approximately 100-fold. Combined with other chemicals, SLS becomes a 'nitrosamine' a potent class of carcinogen. Parabens are used as preservatives in an estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products. Parabens have hormone-disrupting qualities, mimicking estrogen, and interfere with the body's endocrine system. Studies have shown that parabens can affect your body much like estrogens, which can lead to diminished muscle mass, extra fat storage, and male breast growth. Diethanolamine or DEA readily reacts with nitrite preservatives and contaminants to create nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA), a known and potent carcinogen. When Triclosan mixes with the chlorine in your tap water, chloroform is formed. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has classified this as a probable human carcinogen. Time to choose a non-toxic cleanser like this one!".
