Cleansing Your Hair vs Using Shampoo

Bloomfield Bath Hair Care Line

What's the difference between cleaning your hair with shampoo and cleaning it with a cleanser? The difference is shampoos dry your hair out. Shampoos are made with surfactants, that surrounds the oils in your hair and allows it to be rinsed away. Thus, causing your hair to become dry and brittle. Cleansing Conditioners are products that cleans your hair without stripping away the natural oils needed to keep your hair strong and healthy. Cleansers essentially conditions your hair will cleaning it. 

  We all grew up thinking shampoos should smell good, feel thick and make lots of bubbles. In order for this to happen, a few key ingredients has to be added. To clean the hair/scalp most shampoos contains an alkly benzene sulfate, tetrasodium EDTA is added to bind with the calcium and magnesium. This will rinse out of your hair without making scum, cocamide (PEG-5, DEA, MEA or TEA) to give the shampoo thickness and make the bubbles. And preservatives and fragrances are added as well. Each shampoo product may have their own variation of these ingredients or other elements maybe added. The result in the end is usually the same, hair that is stiff, fragile and may even have breakage. For those of you who have dry hair, using shampoo products is only making it worse. Dry hair will break easily, resulting in hair loss, split ends and of course it will damage your hair. 

Natural Cleansing Conditioners cleans and conditions your hair without the use of surfactants, detergents, or chemicals. They may contain ingredients such as amino acids to increase moisture levels, phytantroil for preventing split ends and reduce the damage cause by daily combing or heat, Vitamin C to help protect the hair against UV rays, and panthenol to help protect the hair from becoming frail or weak. Most natural cleansers contains essential oils and/or natural preservatives so the cleanser can smell good. Using cleansing conditioners will nourish your hair while cleaning without drying it out.

So skip the "poo" and clean your hair and scalp with a good conditioner. Your hair will will thank you for it. 

Works for all hair types

Product Shelf Life

Bloomfield Bath uses unrefined, organic ingredients.

Have you ever wonder, how long will my shampoo or lotion last? What will happen if I use my product after its expiration date? How can I find out the expiration date? These are all great questions to ask when you are using anything on your skin. The shelf life of a product is basically the time a product is usable or fit for consumption. Usually after this time that product will not be as effective. Typically, if you use a product after it has expired, best case scenario, it just stops doing what it should do or it can change how it looks or feels. On the off side, it could also, cause skin irritations or infections.  Therefore, I am going to explain how you can find out what is the expiration date on your body products. Below are examples of how the shelf life of products can be displayed on their containers. These pictures show "12M" on an open jar. Some containers will have 6,24 or 36M. the "M" stands for months. So the picture below is telling their consumers these products will be best if used in twelve months from period after opening (PAO). PAO is the time after the container has been opened.  

                         

 When the items are exposed to light and air, bacteria can begin to break down the benefits of the products and you will want to use the items within the PAO time frame. Even if you do not open your products heat and humidity can also reduce practicality of the products. Generally some products, unopened, can be good for 2-3 years. Organic and natural products have a shelf life of about six months. This is probably because of the absence of preservatives. If your product does not have the above image or "use by date" on the back of the container, you can assume the expiration date is presumably twelve months. You can also contact the company directly to get the PAO date or visit this website, 
CheckCosmetic.net   

Bloomfield Bath does use vegetable base preservative in their products. Thus, giving many of the items a longer shelf life. You can read all about Bloomfield Bath's ingredients here.

 Now check the back, bottom, or inside of your containers for the shelf life of your products to protect your skin. If your product is expired replace it. Check out my website to order natural, handmade hair, face, and body products today? 

Seaweed Soaps

Includes vitamins A1, B2, B6, B12, potassium , calcium, iron & zinc. Weighs Approximately 2.75 pounds total

Today I am going to talk about the benefits of using seaweed in your soap. There are three seaweed classes: red, brown, and green. Seaweed that are used in soaps come from the brown class, also known as kelp. As I researched, I found that seaweed soaps exfoliate, nourishes and tones your skin. Seaweed in soap is great for exfoliation because it removes dead skin cells from your body, unveiling new, youthful skin underneath. This process also stimulates blood circulation and with constant use your skin will look healthier, fresher, younger. Using seaweed soaps unclog pores, reducing acne breakouts, and it can remove toxins from your body. Helping your skin to feel silky and look smooth. With regular use, it is noted, you could partially remove cellulite and stretch marks. Scrub the area several times a day for about a month. ( I am thinking of trying this.) There are stories circulating the web today which says, using seaweed soap can increase your metabolism and oxygen intake. There is not enough scientific evidence to prove this rumor true or false, but with all the natural qualities of seaweed soap, it's worth trying.

What are Parabens?

        There are many products on the markets saying their products are paraben free. But, the question I had when I see these labels are....What are parabens and why shouldn't we use them. So I dived in searching and looking for the answers to my questions. According to Wikipedia, parabens are man made chemical preservatives. They are used in cosmetics, medicines, and even in our foods & drinks. (WOW) 

       Parabens have been used in products, as preservatives, since the 1950's. Many times more than one type of parabens are used in the same product. The well known types of parabens are, butylparaben, methylparaben, and propylparaben. In the 1990's, parabens was said to imitate the estrogen in the body, thus contributing to the cause of breast cancer and reproductive problems. Research conducted by Philippa Darbre, Ph.D, found parabens in malignant breast tumors. Since only cancerous tumors were study, many scientist and doctors are unsure of these results. The amount of parabens used in products are small and, some believe, the evidence is not there to prove parabens are bad for your health. As stated by the Journal of Applied Toxicology, “No claim was made that the presence of parabens had caused the breast cancers.” Metabolites, one of the chemical components of parabens, was found in the breast tumor, not the parabens themselves.

This cause some concern for me. Even though only one component of this preservative is found in breast tumors, and companies only use small quantities of parabens in their product. There are many different variations of parabens used in one product. Just think how many products with parabens do we use on a daily bases, the lotions, make-up, fragrances. Then, how many foods and drinks containing parabens are we consuming on a daily bases. Now, if we add the amount of parabens in all of these products together, you will not get small doses of parabens in your system... you will get a COMBINED dose. The Center for Disease Control does have a fact sheet with more information about parabens and what they found in their study. But, why take a chance on how much is to much. Go Paraben Free!!!

 

+Bloomfield Bath has made a promise not to use any prabens in their products. We use all natural plant base preservatives and all orders are made fresh when ordered. We offer handmade soaps, lotions/creams/butters, scrubs, hair products such as cleansers and conditioners, and much much more. You can't go wrong when your going natural.

What Are You Putting Under Your Arms?

Do you know what goes into the making of commercial deodorant? I thought the brand that I used was the best. It kept me smelling fresh and it kept me from sweating. Now that I am transitioning to using all natural ingredients, I decided to read the label on the commercial deodorant in my home. I was shock when I realized what I have been putting under my arms since I was old enough to use deodorant. I decided to check my husband deodorant ingredients, and yes pretty much the same thing.
"Deodorant" is actually a cosmetic substance applied to your body to help prevent odor. People commonly brand any substance placed under the arms, deodorant. However, if you use antiperspirants your not just using deodorant, you are using a FDA approved over-the-counter drug under your arms. If you are wondering how an antiperspirant deodorant can be classified as an over-the-counter drug, here is why. According to Wikipedia, an over-the-counter drug is a substance use to treat a specific condition, in this case sweating, without the supervision of a physician. This substance also has to be proven to be "reasonably safe and tolerated". What makes antiperspirant deodorants an over-the-counter drug is that it contains aluminum. Aluminum can cause contact dermatitis in those that are allergic. Different brands of antiperspirant deodorants uses different compounds of aluminium, there are aluminium cholorhydrate, aluminium zirconium tetracholohydrate, aluminium salts, etc. It all varies on the commercial brand.

a famous anti-antiperspirant deodorant brand

The aluminium reacts with the oils produces by your sweat glands to create a plug. The more you use antiperspirant deodorant to less you will sweat because your sweat glands are being blocked. This could result in several side effects, such as darken armpits. Also with frequent use, your body will began to product an organically, Synthetic Musk Galaxolide. This is a musky, flowery, wood scent. Galaxolide is a fragrance sometimes used in commercial soaps, cosmetics and detergents. Just imaging the damaged your doing to your armpits.
Also, it is thought that the aluminium in antiperspirants causes breast cancer, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. There is even a warning on the label that states to consult with your doctor if you have kidney disease. Patients with high levels of aluminium and kidney disease are more likely to develop dementia. Thus, the FDA requires this warning on the labels. A study completed in the European Journal of Cancer finds between 1945 - 2000 antiperspirant sales increased 14,000%. With this increase many of the women who uses antiperspirants and shaved under their arms has been diagnosed with breast cancer 19 years earlier than women who did neither. This study is accepted, because the lymph nodes in your armpits are connected to the lymph nodes in your breast. Thus, linking what you put under your arms to the changes in your breast tissue.

How antiperspirants work. 

Other studies have been conducted to refute the study done by the European Journal of Cancer. According to Ted S. Gansler, MD, MBA, and director of medical content  for the  American Cancer Society, "There is no convincing evidence that antiperspirant ... use increases cancer risk". This is thought so because the aluminium is not absorbed into the body but forms a plug in the sweat duct as a chemical reaction. Although there has been a few chemicals produced from antiperspirants found in breast tissue, there is not enough evidence to show these chemicals are the cause of breast cancer. Right now scientist are still in the research phase. Studies are contradicting themselves on whether using antiperspirant is good or bad for your health. Since there is no confirmation of whether commercial deodorants can cause health problems or not, an alternative to using commercial deodorants/antiperspirants is make your own homemade deodorant. Therefore, knowing what you are putting under your arm.

Did you know you can easily make your own deodorant at home with kitchen ingredients familiar to you? Making your own deodorant will mask the odor, however, you will sweat. Sweating is your body's natural way of cooling down and removing waste. The perspiration from your body is really odorless. The odor comes from bacteria feeding on the oils from the sweat glands, dead skin and hair cells. When making homemade deodorant, if you use essential oils it will inhibit the growth of microbes, like bacteria. Thus, preventing odor. There are a wide range of deodorant recipes available on the internet. The one that caught my attention was the information offered by Wellness Mama. All the ingredients she used to make her natural deodorants were similar to the ingredients +Bloomfield Bath uses to make all of their Natural Body Care products.

Ingredients Needed:

1. Corn Starch/Arrowroot 
2. Baking Soda
3. Coconut Oil
4. Essential Oil 
1. this is the fragrance
5. Vitamin E
1. to keep the armpit area soft
6. An empty container

Directions: Quick and Easy

     Mix baking soda and corn starch together.(1/4 of cup of each) Mash in the coconut oil (6 tablespoons) with fork until well blended. Add oils (about 1 tablespoon) and store in container. 

I adjust this recipe based on what I had available in my cabinets. I did not have coconut oil, so I used Bloomfield Bath's Premium Body Butter~Unscented. As for Essential Oils, I used +Bloomfield Bath's Miracle Oil Hair and Body. When I placed my finished product under my arms, it had the same consistency of the antiperspirant I used before. If you have sensitive skin you may want to replace the baking soda with bentonite clay or using less baking soda. As I read some of the responses to this recipe, some of the makers added other ingredients like bees wax, unrefined, or a little lemon juice. The bees wax works like a hardener and the lemon juice is great with preventing your armpits from getting darkened. It's great to experiment to find the perfect product for you.

all the ingredients mixed

Applying homemade deodorant under your arms has other benefits, besides preventing clogged sweat glands. Homemade deodorants moisturize your armpits, allows your body to rid itself of toxins, keeps you from have under arm odor, and its budget friendly. When creating your own homemade deodorant, play around with the essential oils and ingredients until you find the consistency the works best for you. When I make my next batch, I am going to try with the Honey Almond Premium Body Butter. I like that signature scent from Bloomfield Bath. Although there are 11 other Signature Scents options, I want to start with my favorites until I find the right scent for me. There are more and more options available now for taking care of your skin and keeping it healthy and beautiful.  Using natural ingredients is the best way to preserve your skin's radiance.

after sanitizing my container, added the mixture.

Lavender Love

This month, +Bloomfield Bath's Charity Soap of the Month is Lavender Love. In lieu of this month's charity soap, I will be talking about the effects of lavender on your skin. If your wondering what type of flower lavender is, well, it's actually an herb. Lavender can be used for many things, such as, consumption in baking products and teas, or as a fragrance for your home. Bloomfield Bath uses lavender in our body products. Lavender is native to northern Africa and the mountainous regions of the Mediterranean and it can come in a variety colors like yellow, green or white. The Latin version of Lavender is "lavare", which means, to wash. This herb has a nice refreshing smell. Lavender has many uses, one being a great aromatherapy agent. When dried you can place inside pillows or sleeping masks and this will help you to sleep, naturally. It is thought that lavender slows down your nervous system. *Do not use Lavender with any additional sleeping aids*  You can dry lavender flowers, place inside cloth bags, and use as dryer sheets. Thus, giving your linen a cool, refreshing, natural scent straight from the dryer. The natural scent of lavender can keep bugs away. Yes, no more buying those "chemical" bug sprays, when you apply the lavender essential oil you shouldn't have to worry about bug bites. Lavender is effective against most bugs like mosquitoes and moths. If you were to get bitten by a bug, all you would have to do is apply lavender essential oil to reduce skin irritation and pain. Not only is the lavender essential oil a great anti-inflammatory, it can help with skin acne and provide minor burn relief. When added topically, the essential oil of lavender can help hinder bacteria growth by reducing scarring when the acne begin to heal. Also Lavender relieves the pain of minor burns when applied to the skin. 

I have only spoke of a few of lavender's properties, but there are many other qualities that lavender posses in addition to relaxing the mind, soothing minor burns, and/or bug bites. Scientist are researching the effects of lavender and finding more and more great advantages of it's use. For example, researchers from the University of Coimbra in Portugal found that Lavender oil is lethal to an array of skin pathogenic strains. Another study completed by The Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database says that, "...lavender can promote hair growth..." WOW, "hair growth". When I read that, I wanted to know more. This was then backed up by a Scottish study report. The, "[l]avender oil increases blood circulation..." when rubbed on your scalp regularly. They reported that patients with alopecia showed 40% more hair growth when using lavender essential oils on their scalp. 

Lavender is a great herb with healing and soothing properties. Bloomfield Bath adds lavender to our soaps, creams, lotions, butters, and polishes. When you've had a stressful day, why not take a bath with our Lavender Love homemade soap bar, then moisturize your skin with the cream. Now watch all your stress go away.

Did you know that the orange also produces ingredients that aid in great skin care? Even the peel of the orange will help protect and care for your skin. Let's talk about the orange peel.

Orange peels can even lighten dark spots and give your skin that shine everyone strive to get. Since the orange peel have more Vitamin C than the orange itself, it will protect your skin again premature ageing. You can use the orange peel by drying it, then grind it into a powder to be use as a body scrub or by placing the powder in milk or milk cream to be applied to your face.(Please dilute the paste because of the high content of citric acid) When the orange peels are added to the upper layer of your skin it will meet 16% of your daily dietary supplements for calcium. Which is also great for bone strength. Over time, the orange peel paste will reduce any blemishes and dark spot and provide your skin with a natural glow. Topical application of oranges peels on your skin removes dirt and dead skin cells keeping your skin moist and toned. It also defends your skin against harmful UV rays.

Now you can add the orange to your list of natural products usable for great skin health.

Orange You Glad

It's your Face...be Gentle.

The face is the first body part seen. We do so much to our face without noticing the effects of what we do. Always consult your dermatologist if your skin problems are serious. There are 4 different skin types of the face, normal, oily, dry, and combination. Most people with normal skin believe they have combination, but this is a misconception. Normal skin will be dry on the cheeks and oily in the "T zone" and nose. Also, normal skin changes with the seasons. For example, it will be dry in the winter and oily in the summer. Someone that has combination skin will have extreme skin differences on the face, like acne or oil in one area of the face while the other areas are generally dry. Treatment for normal skin is washing with a cleanser designed for the area type you have and applying a  moisturizer. Use moisturizer more frequently on the dry areas of the skin. Treatment for combination skin will vary by the degree of condition on your skin. Always consult your dermatologist regarding serious skin conditions.  

Early Morning after washing with water & lip butter.

When you have dry skin, your skin lacks elasticity and maybe sensitive to the elements. The plus side is you will have fewer break outs :o) Taking care of dry skin is a little bit easier. You want to avoid alcohol on your skin. It will only take away what little moisture your skin has making your skin flaky. Wash your face once a day with a creamy cleanser and warm water. Than pat your skin dry. Try using +Bloomfield Bath's Floral Water Skin Toner. It's alcohol free! The two main ingredients in our toner is floral water and witch hazel. If you wondering if these ingredients are natural, I will tell you yes and they are both made from flowers. Witch Hazel is made from the bark and leaves of  "a shrub with fragrant yellow flowers..." and the floral water is produce after plants are steamed in the process of making essential oils. Floral Water have similar properties of essential oils but are less concentrated. 

 Our toner comes with 30 pads, one side soft the other side for exfoliation. Don't scrub to hard. :o)

Someone with oily skin are more prone to break outs. The pores on their skin are slightly enlarge and the texture of the skin is coarse. Oily skin has a lot of shine after cleansing. Even though the skin is oily, it still needs to be moisturized daily. When doing so, you would want to use a lotion that has little oil in it. You would want to use a gentle non-foaming cleanser to clean your face. Bloomfield Bath has a face cleanser that does not have any harsh chemicals. The main ingredients in our Premium Face Cleanser is purified water and aloe vera. 

A person with sensitive skin can have any of the four previous stated skin types in addition to the sensitive skin. According to Dermatologist Leslie Baumann, MD, there are four different types of sensitive skin all causing inflammation of some type, acne, rosecea, burning/stinging, and contact dermatitis (allergies/irritants). You will want to understand the type of sensitive skin you have when buying anything labeled, "for sensitive skin". Anyone with Sensitive Skin should be very selective about the product use on their face. When using Bloomfield Bath's facial products,or any product made by us, remember we do not use "...artificial coloring, fragrances, parabens, urea, paba, phthalates, paraffin, propylene glycol, mineral oil, petrolatum, animal ingredients or sulfates."

Natural Preservatives

Anytime a product has water, preservatives are needed. Preservatives prevent the growth of bacteria, yeast, and fungi. Thus extending the shelf life of any product. +Bloomfield Bath chooses to use only natural preservatives in their products. One of the natural products we use is Honey. Honey is a natural preserve that has been use since ancient times. The Egyptians used honey in many of their medical procedures. Bloomfield Bath uses honey in their 3 different Conditioners, Facial Masks and two of the Signature Scents (Oh My Oats & Honey and Honey Almond). Honey is considered a preservative because the moisture content is low. Many scientist believes that honey creates a sticky barrier against bacteria and other infections.Other natural preservatives we use are Leucidal Liquids, Natapres, Neodefend, and Potassium Sorbate. 

We use Leudical and Natapress in our body butters. Leucidal is a plant base natural preservative. It prevents the growth of other microorganisms by acidifying its environment. Natapres is a natural compound made from multiple plant extracts, like radish root ferment filtrate and the honeysuckle flower extract. It is a great protector against gram negative & gram positive bacteria. 

We use Potassium Sorbate and Neodefends in our lotions and creams. Potassuim Sorbate is a salt of sorbic acid natural found in some fruits. It is great defense against mold but can resist some bacteria and yeast. Potassuim Sorbate has been used for decades to preserve many products, including food. Neodefend is an emulsifying that help keeps our butters and oils from separating in water. It a gluten-free food starch, naturally occurring in corn. It is gentle on the skin and can be used on sensitive skin, giving the ability to hydrate and condition your skin. Bloomfield Bath stands by its mission to use all natural ingredients so that your skin will be exuberant and beautiful. Every element we use will be natural and chemical free.
