Description

Many shop-bought body scrubs contain small amounts of nourishing emollients like shea butter and coconut oil. They can also be expensive, especially the designer brands endorsed by celebrities. The skin is the largest breathable organ in the human body, and it is wrong to trust a skincare brand just because it has sold millions of products.

It is essential to know the exact ingredients that you are putting on your skin. Over time, chemicals and preservatives can weaken the immune system and may increase the risk of illness or disease. The cosmetics industry is self-regulated, and many of its ingredients do not require disclosure. An excellent source for checking the ingredients in your favourite skincare brands is the EWG Skin Deep Cosmetics Database at ewg.org.
