Being Organic Bath Salts

I love finding unique products which is why I was super excited to come across Being Skincare, a handcrafted line of small batch, organic and vegan bath and body products based out of the Pacific Northwest.

BEING was created to remind people how important it is to take care of themselves because in this wild world of never ending responsibilities, it’s easy to put yourself last and to become disconnected from what matters the most. BEING is all about taking the time and space to treat yourself with love, all while being present in the relaxing moment.

Nutrient-rich ingredients, of the highest quality, have been thoughtfully selected for their curative properties, using a holistic approach designed to indulge the senses and responsibly care for the skin. This means that unlike other bath and body products full of harsh chemicals and fillers, every ingredient in each BEING product has a purpose.

Aleavia Skin Care Review

For as long as I can remember I have had problems finding a shampoo that did not leave my scalp itchy and irritated. I always thought that it was something I was eating, but after reading more about what is in my beauty products, I realized that it was definitely an ingredient in my shampoo that was causing my irritation. Because I love/want/need a good lathering shampoo, I was sad to learn that what allows my favorite Acure Organics shampoo to lather, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, actually could be the cause of my scalp irritation.

While the Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate in Acure Organics shampoo is naturally derived from coconuts, because of the high amounts, it can pose a threat to those with a sensitive scalp. The risks associated with this ingredient are low, the only issue really being that it is a detergent that can irritate sensitive scalps causing scalp psoriasis or eczema. If you do have a sensitive scalp, check your shampoo for Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate, as either could be the cause of your irritation.

So now that we are all having to ditch all our old shampoos, what should we use instead? Well, for a while I didn’t have a solution. I would simply use less of the shampoo on my scalp and hope for the best, which never worked. And then it happened, I came across an organic line called Aleavia which claimed to be 100% organic, prebiotic and known for it’s amazing ability to clear up acne, rosacea, eczema, dry skin and psoriasis, all while helping balance your skin’s PH level.
