They do say your skin has its own biome like your gut that keeps it healthy and that showering daily with soap will strip that biome off and that can cause problems. Same with scalp and hair. Unless just filthy dirty, a good rinse in the shower is said to be better for skin and hair.
Read’n the ingredients the label on some “all natural fig newtons” the other day was “natural flavors and other natural flavors”. Pretty sure that means a chemical shit storm.
Some chemicals are good, even if they have a confusing name. That being said natural flavors is such a catch all, I avoid those products... my favorite is castoreum... tastes like vanilla, secreted from the castor glands around a beaver's anus. Natural vanilla flavor.
Lol, thanks for the heads up on the beaver butt! Oh how they must laugh about what they get us to ingest.
To be fair, if you trust what I read on kikepedia, 300lbs are used in food per year, as opposed to 2.6 million lbs of vanilla bean extract. So again, according to them, it's mostly used in a variety of swedish schnapps and maybe a few other products.
