Why Make Your Body Butter?
Our skin is the longest organ of our body, you might think it’s not that important for example liver, kidneys, etc. Think again, because the skin is a very important organ. It protects our body from outside factors, and it’s exposed to them 24/7.
It protects us from infections, helps us regulate body temperature, and allows us to sense the world around us with touch. Acting as a barrier between us and the dangers of the outside world, don’t you think the skin deserves some care for it?
Well, if you think it does, making your body butter is going to help out.
Is body butter bought in stores bad for you?
Many body lotions can be bought in stores and all of them are differently produced, most of them though are bad for your skin since they include ingredients like preservatives (parabens, butylated hydroxy anisole aka. BHA, phthalates, fragrances, and perfumes.
Would you be surprised that even water contained by the store-bought body lotions contains a certain risk for you?
Well, any product that contains water is susceptible to mold. Manufacturers want to fight that mold and they do it by, you guessed it adding more preservatives that are affecting your skin in negative ways.
