Eczema – It’s Probably the Chemicals in Your Life!

Eczema is a catchall term for a lot of doctors. The cause is unknown, but some of us suspect chemicals in everyday products. Common culprits for chemically induced eczema are sulfates in laundry detergents, PEG (propylene glycol) in just about everything, and parabens (a biocide in most products). So, we have heard from our customers that finding the cause of skin irritation is much more important than giving it a name. Doc’s want to name it so they can prescribe steroids and topical antibiotics. This seems to make things worse, with usually a fast relief and then a return of the irritation with a vengeance. Our customers tell us that our MetaCare and RediCare do an excellent job of getting rid of the symptoms and keeping them away. The secret is the Neem and Karanja oil we use, along with high-quality ingredients. MetaCare is a nice soothing lotion, and RediCare is the same basic formula in a sprayable lotion that is good for larger areas. The trick seems to find out what is bothering the skin. Sleuthing the cause is the best solution. Look to those laundry detergents that mostly use sulfates and optical brighteners (phosphorus). Most imported clothing has […]

Autoimmune Skin Disorders – The 80/20 Rule

In life, there seem to be consistent numbers that play out. One set is commonly called the 80/20 Rule. In tech, it meant that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. In the science of skin, it seems that 80% of autoimmune skin disorders are caused by just one thing. Recently some science has confirmed that trend. A recent study I have read suggests that 80% of skin disorders are autoimmune related. In my book, Chemical-Free Skin Health®, I connected some of these to chemicals in everyday skincare products. The most notable are Phthalates and Parabens. Phthalates are chemical enhancers of fragrance, and parabens are a biocide preservative. Both toxicities are cumulative. Another 80/20 rule in skincare is that 80% of autoimmune disorders strike women, with 20% affecting men. The most obvious for a first principle thinker is that women are the primary users of chemical-laden skincare and personal care products. When I wrote my book, estimates were that women used an average of 38 personal care products every day. Ironically, another study I have just read that is pre-peer-review notes that autoimmune skin diseases decreased during Covid. Which to me, also relates to the fact that women […]
