All Natural Relief for Painful Skin Chafing
With the start of August, we find ourselves right smack dab
in the middle of Summer! The days are warm and, oftentimes, muggy, and no
matter what type of outdoor activity you and your family prefer, sweating is almost
a guarantee. Whether walking, exercising
or traveling in the car, moisture (sweat) combined with friction
from body parts rubbing together, or from clothing moving over delicate skin
repeatedly, can lead to painful skin chafing and irritation - i.e. thigh chafing, bra itch, jock itch and, in babies, diaper
rash.
To help insure that your skin stays soft and dry, preventing
painful chafing in all your delicate areas,
it’s time to discover a new, summertime skin care essential – Purple Essentials’
All Natural Body Powder!
100% All Natural, Purple Essentials’ Body Powder and Baby Powder are
formulated from finely milled natural flours, herbal powders and moisture-wicking, Parisian Pink Clay, with pure essential oil blends added for specific aroma therapeutic effects . Best of all, as part of our company’s goal to
help reduce our client’s
exposure to harmful, unnecessary chemicals, they are Non Talc and Cornstarch Free.
Why Non
Talc and Cornstarch Free?
Talc
(talcum powder), is a controversial skin care ingredient that for decades has
been used to help wick sweat off of our bodies. For the last 30 years,
scientists have closely investigated talc particles and found dangerous
similarities to asbestos – here is a link to the American Cancer Society and
their position on talcum powder. This poses an inhalation concerns for adults
and, especially, babies. Another common use for talcum powder is as a dusting powder and deodorant agent for sensitive areas, including the genital area. However, some studies suggest that talc based products used in this manner create a possible risk factor to developing ovarian cancer
in women – here is a link to the Canadian Cancer Society’s website.
Whether the evidence is definitive or not, Purple Essentials does not believe in exposing our clients to the potential health hazards of using talc – our natural body powders, including Purple Baby Body Powder, are talc free and cornstarch free.
