More and more people are demanding toxic-free products in every form. Why? Because they are beginning to understand the detrimental effects on their health when they use chemical-laden products, be it through food, clothing, cosmetics. skincare or any other non-natural forms. Our foods are full of herbicides, pesticides, colouring, etc and our cosmetics and skincare are filled with dangerous add-ons. But is there any other way? Celia Teoh, CEO of BabyOrganix thinks so. In fact, she's armed with all the details to tell you why going toxic-free is the only way forward, if you want to live a healthy, wholesome life.
One cause for the sharp for the decline is society getting caught in the media hype from misleading advertising, which unfortunately are aimed at your pocket rather than your health. Since many customers often don's take time to investigate deeper into all advertising claims, they are often dissapointed when serious consequences befall their health or worse, when they are faced with a life-threatening disease, like Cancer.
So what does it mean to be toxic-free? Simply put, toxic-free relates to something in its natural state, as it was when born or created, and from a living organism. That means there is no room for any chemical and artificial means since they are man-made, an altered form, and definitely not alive. This also eliminates the use of genetically modified foods, which is becoming a major problem on our planet. Toxic-free simply means close as possible as creation wanted and using only natural substance for its growth.
