Our Commitment
Fornya Life Products is not just about fantastic moisturizing soap we are committed to educating our friends, family and customers about the potential dangers and health risks associated with the soaps we use daily. We belief every child deserves a safe, healthy lifestyle.
Soap is one of the most often used products in our lives and could easily be called essential. Basically all the varieties of soap serve the same purpose, to clean and we hardly give them a second thought.
The truth is that all soap is not the same. When you look at what you believe to be soap you see it comes in different scents, sizes, different colors in bar form, liquid form and the list goes on and on. The vast majority of these products on the shelf don’t say soap. They might be called shower gels, body washes, beauty bars, moisturizing bars, deodorant bars, but not soap.
Most body cleansers and soaps on the market today are synthetic detergent products (chemicals). Many are marketed as “soap” but are not true soap in the common and legal definition of the word.
Glycerine is a highly profitable substance which is utilized to make lotions and moisturizers. Soap manufacturers have the option of leaving the glycerine in the soap or removing it and selling it for profit. By removing the glycerine from the soap commercial soap companies create the need for lotions as harsh detergent soaps dry a person’s skin.
What’s in the soap we use?
Do you know what you’re buying?
Most commercially mass produced bars and liquid soaps contain synthetic lathering agents, synthetic moisturizers, chemical preservatives, petroleum product derivatives and a bunch of chemicals we can’t even pronounce.
All That Lathers is Not Soap!
When you review the list of ingredients in personal care products you will find there is “little care” in them. Today’s personal care products are made for convenience and profit.
Common ingredients in commercially made liquid body washes, shower gels, shampoos and bar soap include:
Water (Aqua, Eau), Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Ammonium Laureth Sulfate, PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinnate, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, Lauramide DEA, TEA-Cocoyl Glutamate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Lauroamphoacetate, Cocamidopropalymine Oxide, Hydroxyethyl Urea, PEG-7 Glycerol Coconate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Ammonium Chloride, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Butylene Glycol, Triethylene Glycol, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Sodium Chloride, Aloe Bar-badensis Leaf Juice, Carica Papaya (Papaya) Fruit Extract, Sodium PCA, PEG-150 Disterate, Benzyl Alcohol, Propylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-10.tetrasodium EDTA, Benzophenone-4, Citric Acid, Methylparaben, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Coumarin, Red 33 (CL 17200), Yellow 6 (CL 15985), Blue 1 (CL42090) and the list goes on and on.
“The important, shocking reason to change!”
What is important to realize is that your skin is the largest organ of your body; it is porous and absorbs whatever it come in contact with.
Chemicals absorbed by the skin are ten times more potent than those taken orally, because they travel directly to the tissues instead of passing through the liver.
Concerns about a few of the chemicals listed
(More information is available at www.fornya.ca)
Ø According to the American College of Toxicology states both SLS and SLES can cause malformation in children's eyes. Other research has indicated SLS may be damaging to the immune system, especially within the skin. Skin layers may separate and inflame due to its protein denaturing properties. It is possibly the most dangerous of all ingredients in personal care products.
Ø Propylene Glycol’s (anti-freeze) Polyethylene glycols contribute to stripping the skin's natural moisture. Potentially contaminated with or breaking down into chemicals linked to cancer or other significant health problems.
Ø Methyl Paraben-. A report in the January-February 2004 issue of the Journal of Applied Toxicology states that when several breast tumors were examined by researchers, high levels of Methylparaben were found in the tissues.
Ø Methylchloroisothiazolinone-is a preservative which in pregnant women, prolonged exposure to this ingredient may cause abnormal brain development in the fetus. Contributes to cancer and may be a factor in developing Alzheimer’s disease.
