The Detrimental Effects of Synthetic Ingredients

Happy Holidays! I hope that you’ve been able to get enough Juni and Holiday XanGo Juice to go around this season—they seem to be the most popular XanGo gifts this year. And the reason they are in such high demand isn’t just because they’re full of fun XanGo branding and they come in pretty packages—what I personally find most attractive about them is the same protective philosophy that stands behind every XanGo product.

As I learn more about the detrimental effects of synthetic and petrochemical ingredients, I have to wonder who would ever knowingly let them enter their home. For example, take these questionable ingredients into consideration:

Silicones or Synthetic Wax — Your hair and skin may feel “silky smooth” initially, but you’re suffocating your skin and hair follicles with chemicals—yuck! Who wants to see their skin and hair become dull over time?

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate — You hear this name often. It’s been a nemesis of naturalists for decades, yet it still finds its way into many commercial products. Can you fathom using a common ingredient in engine degreasers, floor cleaners and detergents to clean your family’s skin, hair and teeth? It breaks down protein and strips your skin of natural, healthy oils; in fact, the only excuse for not choosing a natural alternative is that it’s “cheap.”

Synthetic Fragrance, Colors — FD&C colors, fragrances… some are suspected to be harmful, but they are still in use. While the manufacturer may defend their use by saying, “research findings are inconclusive,” do you really want anything questionable in daily contact with you and your family?

It’s good to know that with Glimpse or Juni you won’t have to worry about these unwanted chemicals. And we have our Beverly Hollister, Misha Hughes and the entire development team to thank for that! Both Glimpse Topical Skin Nutrition and Juni Family Care were created with nothing but your health & wellness in mind.

The gift of XanGo products for your family and friends goes beyond a simple “Season’s Greetings”—it says that you care about them, their health, their wellness and their happiness. So enjoy this season of joy and togetherness with XanGo!
