Dangerous Chemical 101: Salicylic Acid

Exfoliating. Ah yes, your skin's second chance to shine brightly and look healthy, vibrant and radiant. But while you're busy scuffing off the dead skin cells, did you ever think about what's actually going onto your skin?

One of the most common ingredients found in most facial scrubs is salicylic acid. It's a chemical ingredient that's designed to fight acne and is also used as an exfoliant. And while this ingredient is common, it has many harmful effects that we all should look out for. According to cosmeticsdatabase.com, salicylic acid may have harmful effects to your brain, nervous and reproductive systems and can act as a skin irritant and penetration enhancer allowing other harmful chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin. Can you imagine? Chemicals going more than just skin deep! Not good at all! Because of this, its use is restricted in Canadian and Japanese cosmetics... and of course, Human Nature products.

We here at Human Nature want the best that nature has to offer and ensure that each and every one of you get only the good stuff so we've come up with a new purifying facial scrub that's 100% natural. It has real strawberry seeds and fine bamboo granules to gently scrub away dirt, oil and dead skin cells to reveal fresh, vibrant, radiant, healthy skin. Our new purifying facial scrub also comes in a yummy, sweet new berry scent to make your nightly routine experience a fun, exciting and good one. So grab one now and let us know what you think! Enjoy!

Eco-Lifestyle: DIY Hairspray


Thinking of cutting back on the chemicals you use on your hair this new year or simply just cutting back? Whatever the case may be, we're going to teach you how to make your own hairspray right in your own kitchen!

What you'll need:
  • Empty Spray Bottle
  • Sugar
  • Water
    Medium/Strong Hold Hairspray:
    1. Pour in 1/2 cup of water in pot and wait for it to boil.
    2. Put in 3 tsps of sugar and stir until it's completely dissolved.
    3. Pour liquid into empty spray bottle.
    *OPTIONAL: To add a nice fresh smell, simmer a few slices of oranges in the water first, take them out and then add in the sugar.

    TIP: Since this isn't regular hairspray, you're going to want to spray it on your hair in layers. Spray on one thin layer at a time, let it dry, spray on a second layer, let it dry, so on and so forth.

    This hairspray should be stored in the refrigerator and will only last for about a week , after which, you'll have to make a new one. To extend the shelf life to 2 weeks, add a tablespoon of vodka to the mixture.
