What
is in your Skin Care Products?
Before we get into the skin
care products products in the Spa Solutions line, let’s take a look at why, with all the products on the market, Healthy Homes Plus felt a need to create their line of personal care products.
Cancer
Awareness
In 1901, cancer was considered a rare disease. Statistics show that 1 out of 8000 persons had cancer. Today, according to the American Cancer Society, 1 out of 3 people have cancer.
How much cancer, and other illnesses, are linked to chemical exposure? Sometimes it depends on which "expert" you listen to but even Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) admits there are at least 880 variations of compounds of chemicals (that are harmful to your nervous system) and are used in personal care products, cosmetics, and perfumes.)
Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) sulfate (SLS) and propylene glycol are two of the most common ingredients found in many personal
care products. Others: Petrolatum, Glycerin, Collagen, Kaolin or Bentonite & Mineral Oil. Sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) sulfate is a top favorite ingredient listing in kids shampoo & toothpaste.
Propylene Glycol has over 14 legal synonyms WHY??? Sodium Lauryl Sulfate has over 90 Legal synonyms WHY??? To disguise the dangerous ingredients hidden in the products. The journal of the American College of Toxicology reports that (SLS) is easily absorbed into your skin and builds up in your heart, liver, lungs, and brain... even if you wash it right off after using it!
The Medical College of Georgia has done testing showing that SLS forms dangerous levels of cancer-causing nitro amines when combined with several other common ingredients found in many personal care products.
Your skin is the largest breathing organ of your body, and many chemicals can be absorbed through it. Nicotine and medicine skin patches wouldn't work if the skin couldn't absorb. Yet almost ALL shampoos contain SLS. One other interesting fact, SLS can also build up around your hair follicles and stop hair growth!
Propylene glycol, used in many facial moisturizer and hand/body lotions, has been found to cause kidney damage and liver abnormalities in scientific and animal testing. Propylene glycol may damage cell membranes causing rashes, dry skin, and surface damage to the skin. Sierra brand anti-freeze for your car is mostly propylene glycol (read it right off the label). Most auto anti-freezes will switch to propylene glycol (from ethylene glycol) in the near future. Is this the best thing to be putting on your skin? Ethylene glycol is the first ingredient listed on the antifreeze jug.
Children's bubble baths have warning labels on them. Why? It is because the sodium Lauryl sulfate in them eats away at the mucous lining of the skin and causes urinary tract infections.
If you are still not convinced, just read the WARNING LABELS on your child's bubble bath... Harmful for children of any age!! A world-renowned expert, toxicologist, Chairman of the nationwide Cancer Prevention Coalition, and co-author of Safe Shopper's Bible, Dr. Samuel Epstein has said that, "Lifelong use of these products... clearly poses major avoidable cancer risks to the great majority of consumers, particularly in infants and young children."
Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc. reports that sodium Lauryl sulfate builds up in the eye tissue and may be a cause of eyesight problems in many children. You will find sodium Lauryl (or Laureth) sulfate in most shampoos.
Spa Solutions Skin
Care Products
Only pure herbal extracts and oils are used in the creation of Healthy Homes Plus hair and skin products with no artificial fragrances, hence the name XtractX (pronounced extracts).
Only the highest possible grades of extracts have been collected from around the world to produce this MOST NATURAL skin care system. Highly researched to bring the latest in extract research to Xtractx. Most product lines are using technology based in the 80’s and 90’s, which indicates that the bulk of herbals research in the past has a limited number of usable ingredients. Xtractx has utilized the latest in herbal research thus providing a unique combination of powerful “multipurpose” herbals and essential oils.
The latest in herbal extracts – ingredients such as Bilberry extracts have been refined and implemented in the latest skin care treatments. As an anti- inflammatory, Bilberry is well suited to be used to prepare all skin, even the most sensitive, for any type of “popular” glycolic or moisturizing preparation.
The careful combination has allowed for the development of this simple facial care system and the body care line. No longer are you requiring a line for dry, oily, or normal skin. The ingredients selected are optimal on all skin types if used as instructed. Only four products are required to be used in the morning and in the evening to get the benefits of the highest priced brand names at retail stores. Contains more extracts and pure essential oils for the maximum benefits.
All ingredients have been selected for their multiple-beneficial-properties. Example: There are many varieties of kelp each with its particular properties. The kelp selected for Xtractx was selected as it not only cleanses the skin but also cleanses the skin to aid the reparation of skin cells, thus providing optimal results while cleansing. WITCH HAZEL in the toner is also a herbal alternative to alcohol. Witch Hazel tightens pores and cleanses excess residue. In addition, it also invigorates and refreshes the skin without the drying effects of alcohol, which can cause cell damage and thus creates more wrinkles.

Facts About
Aging
Researchers know that wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots do not appear because of a mysterious "aging gene". Rather, skin ages due to cumulative internal and external influences that prevent skin from duplicating and repairing itself perfectly. Flawless, perfect skin is not a miracle, but the result of your cellular structure following instructions issued from an infallible set of blue prints. If these instructions could be carried through without interference, medical science has proven that adults would not appear to age after the age of 25. This is not science fiction, but rather actual fact that assures us that our youthful looks would hardly visibly alter throughout our entire adult life.
Collagen constitutes 80% of the dermis. In youth, the collagen structures that support the skin maintains a firm foundation that allows mobility and flexibility, but retains contour and tautness. In addition, water, oxygen and other nutrients travel efficiently through the network to reach the skin's cells and facilitate the excretion of waste products. We must continually remind ourselves that skin aging is not a process associated with a chronological number of the years of life we have lived. More correctly, it is not the years that matter nearly as much as the cumulative exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. As the skin is subjected to these assaults, it loses its ability to reproduce exact copies of healthy cells and finally, the skin gradually breaks down in general due to free radical damage. By conditioning the skin with nutrients, eliminating UV damage, and free radical damage you can prevent the breakdown of collagen and elastin, repair tissue more rapidly, and prevent the attack of lipids in cell membranes. This reduces the signs of aging of the skin.
It is an established fact that Vitamin C plays an essential role in every aspect of the skin's function including growth, maintenance and repair of connective tissue, protection from free radical oxidation damage, wound healing, collagen synthesis, and prevention of premature aging. Medical research has established that vitamin C plays an essential role in every aspect of the skin's functioning, including protection from UV damage and repair of cumulative sun-induced aging factors.
Dr John Randel (M.D. M.A.) has formulated Healthy Homes Plus Anti-Wrinkle using perfectly balanced natural ingredients like Vitamin A, C, D, and E. This unique balance is the key to stabilization, absorption, and the ability to produce results beyond any skin care advancement currently available.
Now available to Healthy Homes Plus is, a revolutionary skin care concept for anti-aging based on a highly concentrated formula. This formula contains active ingredients that are perfectly balanced with natural ingredients. Over 20 Years of research has gone into developing this high potency formula that has resulted in a more noticeable youthful appearance.
