Yes it is a protective layer, so you will not dissolve like a sugar cube in water. At the same time, your skin will let into your body much of what you choose to put on it. Why do you think the patch is such an effective way of getting all kinds of ingredients directly into your blood stream? Nicotine, hormones, medications are all commonly prescribed using this method. Just stick it on your skin,
and it’s in your body in no time! Now consider that most of us use a number of products every day that contain any number of chemicals that are openly listed in the ingredients. Now instead of assuming they must be safe or they wouldn't be in there, take your wrapper to your computer and start looking up some of those ingredients. You will be shocked to find that many are known skin irritants, hormone disrupters and carcinogens, yet daily we unknowingly spread, spray, lather and inhale them on to and into our bodies. Every day more people are becoming chemical and fragrance intolerant. Families are devastated with the ravages of cancer. Each of us battles to keep the chemical load in our bodies to a minimum. Using a natural chemical free soap is a step in the right direction; it is one thing that we can control. At Island Rain Natural Soaps, we not only offer a wide variety of natural soaps, but we encourage you to study our ingredients and what they are known for. We would like everyone to make an informed decision as to what you are using on your skin, on your children or on your pets. Lowering your body’s chemical burden can seem like a daunting task at first, but with a few minor changes, your body will be thanking you in no time. All the best to your family from ours!
