This video shows off NEW products in my handmade bath & body shop, Oasis Essential Oil.
I am a HUGE scent person—candles, lotions, scrubs—you name it, I love it. However, over the years I’ve become more aware of the ingredients in products I use everyday—especially products used on my skin.
Did you know that your skin is the LARGEST ORGAN on your body? Being mindful of the products you put on it on an everyday basis is extremely important. After researching a lot of my favorite body products, I realized that most of them contain parabens and mystery “fragrances” which are NOT good for your skin. These products soak into your body and can live in your tissues, and by using them every day your skin is constantly exposed to these harmful ingredients.:
“In 2004, a British study found traces of five parabens in the breast tissue of 19 out of 20 women studied. The study didn’t prove that parabens can cause cancer but identified that the parabens were able to penetrate the skin and remain within tissue.
Parabens are believed to disrupt hormone function by mimicking oestrogen. Too much oestrogen can trigger an increase in breast cell division and growth of tumours, which is why paraben use has been linked to breast cancer and reproductive issues.” (elle.com/uk/beauty/skin/articles/a36356/what-are-parabens/)
After learning this, I started making my own Shea butters and sugar scrubs, thus Oasis Essential Oil was born. These products contain the least amount of ingredients as possible. My Sheas and scrubs DO NOT contain preservatives, so I suggest using clean, dry hands when using them, or a clean, dry spoon. Moisture will contaminate my products and produce bacteria, so better safe than sorry!
