Is Your Shampoo, Toothpaste, and Soap
Destroying Your Health?
Part II



You've just read about the ill effects that daily doses of chemicals in your personal care products can have on your health.

You learned that the petrochemicals found in most shampoos and cosmetics can be absorbed through the scalp and skin and, over time, accumulate in the organs and tissues. In fact, the base of each hair follicle has its own blood vessel that connects to your blood stream. Toxins absorbed through the scalp can reach your blood stream in minutes! All this toxic accumulation may result in mounting brain, nerve, and liver damage.

You found out that chemicals such as TEA and DEA have been linked with kidney, liver, and other organ damage according to several government-funded research studies, and have been proven to cause cancer in rats when applied to the skin.

You discovered that Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is a mutagen — capable of changing the information in genetic material found in your cells. And that it actually corrodes hair follicles and impairs ability to grow hair! Yet it's included in nearly every shampoo on the market!

To quickly recap, SLS denatures protein and impairs proper structural formation of young eyes, creating permanent damage. SLS can damage the immune system. It can cause separation of skin layers and cause inflammation to the skin. If it interacts with other nitrogen-bearing ingredients, Carcinogenic Nitrates can form as a result.

You also learned about Propylene Glycol — a solvent most commonly found in Anti-Freeze! And not just as an additive but as the main ingredient!

What is Anti-Freeze doing in your shampoo, deodorant, cosmetics, lotions, and toothpaste, anyway?!?

Remember, Propylene Glycol has been implicated in contact dermatitis, kidney damage and liver abnormalities. It can inhibit skin cell growth in human tests, can cause gastro-intestinal disturbances, nausea, headache and vomiting, central nervous system depression and can damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin and surface damage (according to the Material Safety Data Sheet).

Not a pretty picture. And these are just a few of the damaging chemicals routinely found in common personal care products. I won't mention the rest for lack of space!

You Have A Choice

But remember, you have a choice. It is ultimately up to you, the consumer, to make changes for the better in your own life. It's up to you to choose products that will enhance your life and your health rather than destroy it.

Now, new breakthrough, all natural, chemical-free hair and skin care products are available from Young Living Essential Oils! Their exclusive AromaSilk personal care product line nourishes your skin and hair with remarkable, one-of-a-kind formulas designed to cleanse, moisturize, and rejuvenate. And do it safely, effectively, and beautifully. There has simply never been anything like them before!

International Fashion Model, Teri Williams raves;

"AromaSilk hair products are wonderfully nourishing for the hair. After two decades of searching, I have finally found products that bring out the best in my hair. And the AromaSilk skin care formulas are like food for the skin. When I combine them with my regular floral water treatments, my skin comes alive."

Chiropractor Ken Krieger, D.C. states;

"What makes AromaSilk products so different is that they are more than just cutting-edge hair and skin treatments; they are the safest, most natural I have seen and are free of so many of the questionable chemicals that can cause reactions among my patients."

The World's Highest Quality Oils

Young Living Essential Oils really are the highest quality in the world. This company is one of the world's leaders in the cultivation, distillation, and production of organically grown, guaranteed pure essential oils. Their state-of-the-art, cutting-edge know-how and methods are setting new standards of oil quality throughout the world.

You see, essential oils are rich tapestries of numerous chemical components, some of which (even in small quantities) contribute important therapeutic benefits. Cypress, for example, requires 24 hours of distillation at 245 degrees Fahrenheit and 5 pounds of pressure to extract all of its active ingredients. If distillation is shortened by only two hours, 18 to 20 of its chemical constituents will be missing. But many processors increase pressure and heat — and cut distillation times drastically to cut costs. Even though this kind of oil is technically considered pure, it may only contain a fraction of its possible complex chemistry and therapeutic value.

Young Living takes extraordinary pains to preserve all of the fragile chemical constituents in their essential oils. Plants are steam distilled in small batches for extended periods using a special low-pressure, low-heat vertical steam technology developed by D. Gary Young N.D. Young Living has developed the largest, most technologically advanced steam distiller in North America. No solvents or synthetic chemicals of any kind are used or added. Moreover, the cookers are constructed from costly stainless steel alloys to minimize the possibility of the essential oil being chemically altered by more reactive metals, such as aluminum, steel, or copper. The results are grade A masterpieces with unsurpassed therapeutic properties.

It's important to note that most of the oils sold in America today are grade C and grade D quality with hardly anything natural in them. They are often thinned with chemical solvents, "enhanced" with synthetic fragrance, and then labeled as "pure," when they're anything but!

Diluted and adulterated oils have no therapeutic qualities. They can't help your body heal or work any magic on your skin and hair. In many cases, they do more harm than good.

Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils have the unique properties it takes to help restore health and vitality. Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils kill viruses, fungi, and bacteria on contact. Only real therapeutic-grade essential oils bring oxygen to each cell because they have the unique ability to penetrate cell membranes and diffuse throughout the blood and tissues. And best of all, they help the body heal itself by benefiting every cell, organ and system.

You Deserve The Best

Don't you want to be sure you use the purest oils, with the highest therapeutic value? Oils that routinely contain up to 10 times higher therapeutic elements than the industry standard?

And, Young Living is the first company to combine guaranteed pure essential oils with dietary supplements and personal care products. They've taken the finest natural ingredients and blended them with the finest essential oils to create unsurpassed personal care products. And now, these superbly unique products are available to you.

Bold New Concepts in Hair and Skin Treatments

According to Hans Wolf, international master hair designer, there are three secrets to beautiful, healthy hair:

The Three Secrets to Fabulous Hair

*Secret #1:

Use the right product for the right type of hair.

Simply stated, different hair requires different care. Limp or thin hair needs products for body and fullness, while dry or naturally curly hair requires moisturizing for shine and control. And hair that may be damaged by perms or exposure to sun needs conditioning for protection and replenishment. This is why the AromaSilk line of hair products is segmented into three different lines — each line contains a wash, rinse, and sealer. Hair is first washed to remove buildup, then rinsed to add nutrients, and finally sealed to impart luster and seal in moisture.

The AromaSilk hair treatment system was designed for three types of hair:

  • The Lavender Volume line adds volume and fullness to hair. Its lovely natural fragrance will delight you and its effectiveness will amaze you. This collection includes a Hair and Scalp Wash, Nourishing rinse, and Sealer that are specifically designed for long, flat, or dull hair, or any hair that needs volume.

  • The Rosewood Moisturizing line moisturizes dry or damaged hair. The trio of Hair and Scalp Wash, Nourishing Rinse, and Sealer contains essential oils and herbal extracts that help defrizz and protect damaged, dry, or overprocessed hair. Naturally curly, thin, or dry hair will benefit the most from this line.

  • The Lemon-Sage Clarifying line prepares hair for perms or coloring and removes buildup from hard water, chemicals, chlorine, pollutants or the buildup of styling products — leaving hair feeling naturally clean and healthy. It also contains fragrant and powerful essential oils with special herbal extracts and is designed for all types of hair.

*Secret #2:

Wash, Nourish, and Seal

The AromaSilk sequence of all-natural hair treatments will cleanse, nourish, and protect your hair for the ultimate shine and body. Use products from the same line in sequence for maximum benefits.

Hair and Scalp Wash — First cleanse your hair and scalp with the Wash to open up the hair shaft and remove buildup, grease, and chemicals.

Nourishing Rinse — Once the hair shaft is opened and cleansed, nourish and fortify it with the rinse to allow nutrients to penetrate the hair.

Sealer — The third important phase of hair treatment is the sealer. It protects the hair from dirt and pollution, protects against split ends, locks in nutrients, and imparts shine, bounce, and vigor.

*Secret #3:

Keep the hair free of petrochemical residues and avoid harsh, synthetic hair products.

These can damage hair over time, breaking the sulfur bonds that make hair flexible, lustrous, and strong.

Even worse, the questionable petrochemicals found in many shampoos and cosmetics can be absorbed through the scalp and skin and, over time, accumulate in the organs and tissues. This accumulation may result in mounting brain, nerve, and liver damage. (Matthew et al., 1995).

The government-funded Human Adipose Tissue Survey provided a troubling indication that the absorption of synthetic chemicals from personal care products may be widespread (see Bock, 1997). In this study, almost every person tested showed measurable levels of petroleum-based, carcinogenic chemicals, such as toluene, benzene, and styrene, in their tissues.

This is why increasing numbers of health professionals are recommending personal care formulas that are completely natural and free of synthetic ingredients. "Achieving optimum health requires avoiding potentially toxic synthetic ingredients that can accumulate in the tissues," states physician Janet Greene, M.D. "In some cases, these products can have as great an impact on health as either diet or exercise."

Other shampoos may claim to have natural ingredients but when you read the label, you discover quite the opposite!

Al Patrick of Fresno, California found out that his dandruff problem was caused by the shampoo he was using:

"I used to have really bad dandruff. Every time I washed my hair, my whole scalp would break out into a red and raw rash that was spreading down to my cheeks. When the rash dried out, the skin flaked off in copious amounts, creating dandruff. It was very embarrassing — I couldn't go out until the rash dried some (because I looked so bad), but then the dandruff would start! I tried all kinds of expensive dandruff shampoos and used several kinds of creams, but nothing helped. But, in less than a week of using Lemon-Sage Clarifying Scalp Wash, the rash completely cleared up, and has never returned! I'll never use those other shampoos again!"

Mr. Patrick isn't the only one suffering the effects of long-term chemical exposure from personal care products. Many others have similar symptoms but never thought to connect them to their personal care products.

Ancient Skin Care Beauty Secrets for the New Millennium

The AromaSilk line includes formulas that moisturize, smooth, and soften the skin. For the needs of the skin, Gary Young chose all-natural ingredients with a long history of use in skin care.

Goat's Cream — the 3,000 year-old Ancient Beauty Secret

Historians have known for years that ancient cultures prized one substance above all as a powerful skin moisturizer, regenerator, and protectant — goat's cream. Ancient Egyptians, in particular, revered goat's cream for its skin-rejuvenating effects and used it in some of their most powerful skin and facial beauty treatments.

This is why Gary Young elected to incorporate goat's cream in the AromaSilk line of natural skin care formulas. "Without a doubt, goat's cream has the longest and most impressive history in cosmetics," said Gary Young. "Its ability to moisturize and regenerate the skin in unequalled."

Rare and Costly Wolfberry Seed Oil

AromaSilk skin care products also contain wolfberry seed oils, a costly and unusual ingredient that makes important contributions to healthy skin.

For centuries, Chinese living in Mongolia have used a substance that had exceptional benefits for the skin — Wolfberry seed oil. This rare and expensive substance is painstakingly extracted from the seeds of the Ningxia variety of Lycium barbarum. Rich in vitamin E and linoleic and linolenic acids, the oil has an unusual chemistry that makes it ideal for nourishing and hydrating the skin.

"Wolfberry seed oil is outstanding for the skin," states researcher Sue Chao. "It is sought after in Asia for its regenerative properties and for its ability to protect aging skin and add luster to skin tone."

Why is MSM so Important?

AromaSilk products also contain MSM, an essential nutrient that has an unsurpassed ability to strengthen the skin. "The importance of MSM for healthy skin and hair cannot be overemphasized," states Ronald Lawrence, M.D., Ph.D. "In my clinical practice, I have seen firsthand the difference that MSM makes. It is outstanding whether applied topically or used as a dietary supplement."

Essential Oils and Herbal Extracts

AromaSilk skin products also contain pure essential oils derived from aromatics that have a rich history of use in skin care. Pure myrrh, sandalwood, geranium, rosewood, frankincense, and Roman chamomile essential oils have been used throughout recorded history to preserve the health and beauty of the skin.

AromaSilk skin products also include a proprietary blend of antioxidant herbal extracts such as Ginkgo biloba, orange blossom, witch hazel, cucumber, horse chestnut, and aloe vera gel, as well as special blends of pure vegetable oils, including almond, jojoba, avocado, and rose hip oils.

No other company has combined the amazing powers of pure, organic essential oils with the finest herbs and vegetable oils to create products that are unmatched in quality.

Eliminates layers of dead skin cells. Oatmeal and corn flour provide a mild abrasive texture that helps stimulate the pores, bringing oxygen to the surface. Excellent for skin prone to acne. Can be used as a drying face mask to draw impurities from the skin. If the texture is too abrasive for you, it can be mixed with the Orange Blossom Facial Wash.

Julie Dollahite shares her experience conquering the signs of aging:

I am, sigh, 44, and starting to get the crows feet and laugh lines all the way from the sides of my mouth to my ear lobes. I look like my grandmother, except with- out deep crevices she had (at least thus far)!

So I used the Mint Facial Scrub, what a treat! Then I put the Boswellia Cream on at night before bed. The next morning, I used the Sandalwood Cream. I repeated this for 3 days.

The 4th morning I got up and looked in the mirror, grimaced at my reflection, then stared. Hardly ANY wrinkles! What was there were so small, they didn't qualify as wrinkles (at least, in my opinion). I was AMAZED!

Now, I have noticed that if I don't use this regimen of cleansing with the mint facial scrub, followed by Boswellia, and Sandalwood, and occasionally the eye cream and/or using the Sandalwood toner, the wrinkles will start to come back. But I get very intense and faithful about it before special events, like concerts and special meetings, etc.

I heartily recommend the Boswellia Cream. Don't let the price scare you: like the old commercial says — a little dab'll do ya! My jar is already 3 months old, and it looks barely used. My Sandalwood Cream is about 7 months old, and I'll probably have to replace it within 2-3 months. These products last and last, and in the long run, it makes them very affordable.

Now bathing can be a true aromatherapy experience. Announcing a new line of handmade soaps that add not only a sublime fragrance to your bath but offer vegetable-based moisturizers combined with the unique antiseptic properties of therapeutic-grade essential oils.

The AromaSilk soaps are created through a proprietary soap-making process that minimizes skin-drying alkali salts. Trapped alkali salts are a major cause of skin dryness and irritation. In Young Living's AromaSilk soaps, the vegetable base is more than 50% moisturizers.

The soaps are hand-poured and cured for 30 days. They are made in a remarkable process that combines traditional soapmaking, modern technology, and a proprietary blend of ingredients. The soaps are made of saponified oils of palm, coconut, and olive. (Saponified means the process of combining sodium hydroxide with fatty acids like olive of coconut resulting in soap). Other ingredients include organic oatmeal, liquid aloe vera extract, rosemary extract (as an antioxidant), and essential oils unique to each soap.

Oral Hygiene

Dentarome Toothpaste

Formulated exclusively with pure, all-natural ingredients, Dentarome uses a special blend of breath-freshening essential oils to combat the microorganisms that cause plaque. Dentarome was tested at Weber State University and found to have potent antimicrobial properties against a wide range of oral microbes including S. oralis, S. pneumoniae, B. catarrhalis, and Candida albicans.

Besides uniquely antiseptic therapeutic-grade essential oils, Dentarome contains vegetable glycerine, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), ionic minerals, and steviocide (a healthy, naturally sweet extract from a tropical plant native to South America).

Think of what all this can do for your gingivitis! Dentarome truly leaves your mouth fresh, fragrant and super-clean.

Dentarome Plus Toothpaste

Dentarome Plus is just like Dentarome except it includes a higher concentration of thymol and eugenol for extra antiseptic action.

Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash

The exclusive formula of germ-killing essential oils of Fresh Essence have just been strengthened!

This protects the essential oils from reacting with water, which facilitates long-lasting, germ-killing, breath-freshening protection. The liposome concentrate contains larger amounts of:

Peppermint essential oil, which contains natural menthol.

Thieves,™ - a proprietary blend of cinnamon, clove, lemon, Eucalyptus radiata and Rosemary officinalis essential oils studied at Weber State University.
