DID YOU KNOW???

• Products such as the "diet patch" and the "nicotine patch" were developed to utilize the skin’s very unique delivery system. Now it’s very common to see transdermal delivery systems in a variety of health related products. However, the ability of the skin to transport elements from the outside of our bodies to the inside can also create major health concerns. For example, if the skin transports nutrients to the bloodstream and personal care products contains harmful and even carcinogenic ingredients, then many of these chemicals and toxins are absorbed by the body through the skin.  If you continue to use these products for long term the toxins can build up in your liver, kidneys, and other vital organs, and tissues.
