Unfortunately, all those (dangerous) chemicals are routinely found in supermarket and salon shampoos, moisturizers, shaving and cleansing gels, tanning solutions, and numerous pharmaceuticals. They are even found in some commercial toothpastes.   UGH!

Product labels also DO NOT reveal their concentrations, nor the adverse effects of these pervasive chemicals found in everyday products.

This is an especially troublesome threat to children,
who's skin readily absorbs toxic chemicals. [17]

I am so grateful that Shaklee ethics and manufacturing standards are above reproach. You can trust that their products are non-toxic while also maintaining effectiveness. [18]

Shaklee even provides a 42-page document titled The Shaklee Ingredient Glossary which describes every ingredient found in their nutritional products. The first few pages define the difference between natural, naturally derived, and scientifically formulated ingredients. [19]

Shaklee also produced an extensive Glossary of Personal Care Ingredients which lists every ingredient used in their personal care products.

No other manufacturer maintains such transparency in their ingredient choices, or their commitment to product purity and safety.

Now, let’s talk about what we can do to “save our hides”.




Protection With Sunscreen

When I was in high school there was a huge emphasis on having a tan.   Tans were “cool”.

Unfortunately, my Irish skin didn’t agree: I’d burn and then peel, but I never got much darker than my camel hair coat.

What I didn’t know then was that sunburn, and prolonged ultraviolet ray exposure, was extremely hazardous to my health.

It’s now acknowledged that experiencing just one blistering sunburn in a lifetime more than doubles your risk for developing skin cancer in later life. [20]
