Why make your own?

Health, Happiness, Price, Security, Fun, Sharing, Comforting need i go on?

The most important reason these days to create your own beauty products from home is the non existence of harmful chemicals.
These chemical are common to normal in the majority of beauty and skincare products. It is cheaper to manufacture a chemical based preservative for instance than an organic one.
Chemicals such as SLS and SLE'S otherwise known as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate can cause anything from skin irritation, burning and exzema to depression, laboured breathing, diarrehea, eye damage, severe skin irritation, corrosion and even death.
Now how your body reacts specifically to these chemicals will vary widely but is it really worth the risk?

When you consider it has been proven Sls and Sle's can be known to cause malformation orf the eye in children and considering the most common place these harsh chemicals are found are shampoo and conditioner???? Why risk it! That's all i can say.

There are many more harmful chemicals used within the beauty industry, not easy to detect the good from the bad on the side of a bottle so make your own for your own security.
