Dioxane

Here at Beauty OK, we like to share information with our customers that will always put you in an informative position when purchasing your beauty products.

We have been given some information regarding a certain toxic chemical that can be found in everyday personal care products called DIOXANE and we just wanted to share this with you:

DIOXANE

An assessment carried out by the Environmental Protection Agency has reported findings that the solvent 1,4 dioxane, is showing significantly greater cancer risks, which in turn may actually give environmentalists a better chance now when going head to head with some of the manufacturers that choose to use this ingredients in the manufacturing of their products.

This latest assessment shows dioxane us 17 times more potent than they actually first thought and it has become a major concern because they are finding it in amongst children’s products.

If you have any concerns you may visit our link below and with the help of “The Safety For Cosmetics” , these are the guys who have sponsored testing on hundreds of shampoos, soaps, bubble baths and lotions and other items and over the past 3 years have come up with their findings and published them on their site.

Its definately well worth a look at and its like everything in life, if we can only just reduce our intake of these nasty chemcials, we will be all the better for it in the long run!

Until next time

Swine Flu

Swine Flu – Update -

The latest government advice is “Do not panic” but as caring parents that we are of our children, not to mention worrying about our parents who may be at the age where they are more susceptible to a flu virus, we are forgetting about ourselves and how we need to be making sure our immune system is all fired up ready to tackle this outbreak!

Our advice and as usual we follow our own advice, is to take some extra vitamins in the form of a super food. (See super food recipes)

One of the best super foods’s for this job is actually Bee Pollen.

Bee Pollen is the only known food which contains every essential nutrient needed by mankind for perfect health. This has been proved in laboratories worldwide many times.

£3.95 (100grams) – lovely sprinkled on cereal (sweet tasting)

<!–[if !supportLists]–>· <!–[endif]–>Pollen is rich in vitamins, especially Vitamins B12 and E;, others include B1, B2, B3, B5, C & Vitamin D

It also contains:

<!–[if !supportLists]–>· Contains lipids, free amino acids, carbohydrates and minerals, including calcium, manganese, phosphorous, iron, sodium, potassium, aluminum, magnesium and copper.<!–[endif]–>

<!–[if !supportLists]–>· It also contains some enzymes and co-enzymes, pigments, xanthophylls, lignans (dibenzyl butanes) isoflavones and flavonoids.<!–[endif]–>

<!–[if !supportLists]–>· Bee bread is also very rich in flavonoids and phytoeostrogens – it contains more essential amino acids than meat, eggs or cheese.<!–[endif]–>

<!–[if !supportLists]–>· Bee Pollen contains 15% lecithin by volume.<!–[endif]–>

Unfortunately, I am aware of a few people who have been struck down with this nasty virus; they are recovering well now though. We just need to make sure we keep washing our hands, especially after touching door handles, stair rails etc, eat healthy and maybe try a super food or two!

Until next time

Hello again,

We want to share with you today some handy tips we have collected over the last few months, these have all been trialled and tested by us all here at Beauty Ok and even if your hayfever season is over, you can save these for next year!

Fantastic ongoing relief, ideal for children As seen on Ideal size for childs school bagAward Winning Product - Best Natural Relief

Hayfever can be so tiresome and really get you down, at Beauty OK we all seem to suffer and have trialled all products that we have in store and can without hesitattion say, our products work, whether it be for a child or an adult, you can relax safe in the knowledge that you will using a natural remedy, that wont make you sleepy or irritable, you can carry on your normal day with a few easy steps.

GCSE Nightmare!

Many mums have called lately asking about our natural remedies for their children, as they have been plagued with the dreaded hayfever symptoms at their worst possible time, -”Exam time”,

As a child, I didn’t suffer with hayfever, but grew into it in my twenties, but I will never forget my poor class mates who struggled during exam time, with streaming eyes, runny noses, I suspect it was bad enough that they were sitting an exam, never mind being dragged down by dratted hayfever.

If only I knew what I know now, I would of set up a stall in the exam room and maybe saved a few miserable and drowsy youngsters from going through that nitemare.

So I apologise to them all, but I am here to help now and have indeed already set to work on friends and family.

Mandy, Daniel, Olivia, Nigel, Charley, Sophie, Katy, Lewis, Rebecca, Alex, Marcus, Elizabeth, James, Laura, Charley (the 1st) , George,  the list goes on and on………. and I am fast becoming very popular!

All of our friends and family (who are our best guinea pigs!)  say they haven’t had to take a regular tablet yet and have been shocked by the results that a natural product has given them.

 

Hayfever Pollen Chart

Other ways to minimise hayfever symptoms

Wash your hair every day during the pollen season, especially at night when the pollen has fallen and has clung to your hair.

Wash your pillowcase every day if possible, dont hang to dry on the washing line, though as the pollen will attach itself to the fabric and only make things worse, try and have some spares for the hayfever season.

If you hang your washing out, try your best to bring it in before teatime, in the evening the pollen fulls and is the worse time for hayfever sufferers to be drying their washing.

Avoid dairy products where possible, as these can actually increase the amount of mucous that your body makes, which results in that blocked nose that so many hayfever sufferers experience.

Try to wear sunglasses as much as possible, this will help to protect your eyes from becoming itchy and runny.

Take the middle out of those lillies, people always seem to buy flowers for my birthday which is in June and they always seem to be lillies, I love them, but they dont like me, so now, I simply cut out the orange  part (the bit that is also a nightmare for staining clothes!) and voila “No more sneezing” I can now look forward to my birthday flowers!

We hope these tips may help and so sorry if your hayfever season is now over, maybe you can vist our archive next year and use the tips then!

Until next time,
