đ§´Â Your Skin Isnât Just a ShieldâItâs a Superhighway
And what you put on it doesnât just stay on it.
We often think of the skin as just a protective layerâlike a raincoat. But itâs actually a living, breathing organâin fact, itâs your largest organ. And, itâs not just a shield; itâs a sponge. What you put on it can go straight into it⌠to the bloodstream. You heard that right.
đĄ Hereâs the truth most people donât realize:
Up to 80% of what you put on your skin is absorbed. And up to 60% of that can go directly into your bloodstream.
That means creams, lotions, soaps, deodorants, shampoos, conditioners, laundry detergents, dryer sheets toxins, makeup, perfumesâeven baby products. They arenât just surface-level. Theyâre all biologically active decisions.
đ¨ The Skin Absorption Shortcut: Why Topical Toxins Matter
The digestive system has stomach acid and enzymes to break down what we eat before it enters the bloodstream. (This can be why oral medications and supplements arenât nearly as effective as they should be)⌠example, Magnesium through the digestive tract only benefits a body 7-10% of its load. And, of that, it can even cause a laxative effect that means you lose it through elimination.
But your skin? It has no such defense.
Many ingredients used in conventional products include:
⢠Petroleum-based solvents
⢠Harmful Preservatives
⢠Artificial fragrances
⢠Heavy metals
⢠Parabens and phthalates
⢠And harmful penetration enhancersÂ
And hereâs the kicker:
â¨âĄď¸ Humectants like glycerin, and hyaluronic acidâwhich are often used to âpull in moistureââcan also help pull in toxins sitting on the surface, dragging them deeper into the dermal layers.
Once inside, these chemicals can bypass the liver (your bodyâs main filter) and head straight into circulation, potentially affecting:
⢠Brain and Brainstem
⢠Hormones (endocrine disruption)
⢠Reproduction and fertility
⢠Nervous system function
⢠Immune responses
⢠Heart and respiration
⢠Elimination (Kidney and Liver)
⢠Skin
⢠Organ toxicity over time
â ď¸ Children Are Even More Vulnerable
Because children have thinner skin, and their organs are still developing, they absorb more per pound of body weight than adults. And certain areasâlike the face, scalp, and underarmsâhave even higher absorption rates.
đ§ So What Can You Do?
⢠Read your labelsâif you wouldnât eat it, you donât need it.
⢠Choose products with genuinely good ingredients.
⢠Avoid formulas that rely on synthetic humectants to âpull inâ chemicals. (We use Aloe Vera, Shea Butter, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil, etc.)
â
Final Word
Your skin is not a barrierâitâs a backdoor.⨠Itâs a two-way street that can either:
⢠Bring healing to your body, or
⢠Traps toxins directly into your bloodstream
Make sure what you're putting on your skin isnât the enemy.
