Natural Grooming for Men
Many people believe in eating clean, organic food but they don’t pay attention to their personal care products. Think for a moment... Where does that lotion go after it soaks into your skin? Your body absorbs it and some of it also enters your bloodstream. When you eat foods contaminated with chemicals, your liver and kidneys work to flush away toxins to keep them from entering your bloodstream. Your body care products don’t get that luxury -- anything absorbed through the skin bypasses the liver and kidneys. Besides, much of what we use on our bodies, also goes down the drain. Going down the drain doesn’t always mean safe disposal: most conventional items are not biodegradable -- they end up in our water supply and the food chain, re-entering our bodies. That’s why it’s extremely important to use clean and organic body care products.
The average man uses 8 to 10 body care products per day. With aluminum in deodorants, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in anything that lathers, and phthalates in anything that is perfumed, many men are exposing themselves and their environment to toxins on a daily basis. Some of the most commonly used chemicals are endocrine disrupters that can alter healthy hormone function over time.
As the need for natural but also effective products
grows, many companies are stepping up to the
challenge with affordable products that are free of
the common offenders and also live up to
expectations. Every Man Jack offers everything a
man could need for personal care. They’ve got
aluminum-free deodorants, SLS-free body washes
shampoos, and a selection of hair styling aids and
premium shaving products that are sure
to please. They are all natural and vegan and
contain no synthetic dyes, phthalates, or parabens. Every Man Jack is effective and affordable. Not to
mention, the faux wood finish for all products and
the flask-shaped bottles that they use for their face
and body washes, shampoos and conditioners are
very pleasing to the eye and undoubtedly
masculine.
