Safe Ingredients For Personal Care Products
By Cindy Holt, RN, LMT
Last month I discussed the dangers of chemicals in your personal care products. I came across this list of ingredients that should NOT be in your soap, lotion, toothpaste, mouthwash, or shampoo, or anything else that comes in contact with your body.
Alcohol or isopropyl (SD 40)
DEA (diethanolamine)
FD&C (color pigments)
Fluoride
MEA (monoethanolamine)
Mineral Oil (petroleum product)
Parabens
PED (Polyethelene glycol- antifreeze)
PG (Propolene Glycol- antifreeze)
Sodium Laurel (or Laureth) Sulfate (SLS)
Talc
TEA (triethanolamine)
Triclosan
The risks of cancer are all around the environment. We shouldn’t be compounding the risk with the personal care products we use. Don’t be fooled by labels that tout “Natural” without reading the labels. The FDA doesn’t have the funding to monitor these claims.

About Me
- Cindy Holt, Reformed Nurse
- I graduated from nursing school in 1972. I believed in what I was doing, and it felt glorious to help people. Many people were in awe of what I did for a living, and I was proud. Through a series of events, I was led to massage school, initially as a lark. What I learned in those five years changed how I saw health forever. My understanding of the meaning my existence is also ever-evolving. I hope to be able to share with you what I learn from my readings and seminars. I do not hold this information to be all mine, and I will clearly state what is and what is not my personal opinion. I hope you find this information useful, but please don't accept my word as the ultimate truth. Use these words to inspire you to seek your own version of reality, through reading, learning, and experience.
