Ingredients That Should Be Avoided
PARABEN:
Parabens are a group of chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. These compounds and their salts are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. Paraben can be found in personal lubricants, massage oils, intimate gels, shampoos, commercial moisturizers, shaving gels, and many other personal items.
Published studies have shown that parabens are able to be absorbed through the skin and bind to the body’s estrogen-receptors encouraging breast cancer cell growth. Parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancer. The preservatives are used in many cosmetics and some foods to increase their shelf life.
A number of researchers and skin care experts have discovered that paraben becomes even more dangerous the longer the person is exposed to it.
Parabens can do the following:
- Alter the estrogen process among women, increasing the tendency
of developing estrogen-dependent diseases like breast tumors.
- Heighten the existing allergic reactions experienced by
the user.
- Decrease the sperm cell count among males.
- Promote skin allergic reactions like contact dermatitis
and rosacea.
- Spur the development of skin cancer.
- Cause problems to fetal development for pregnant
women.
Products without parabens are considered less toxic.
DEA:
Diethanolamine, is a chemical that is used as a wetting agent in lubricants, shampoos, lotions, creams, and other cosmetics. DEA is used widely because it provides a rich lather in shampoos and keeps a favorable consistency in lotions and creams.
DEA by itself is not harmful but while sitting on the stores shelves or in your cabinet at home, DEA can react with other ingredients in the cosmetic formula to form an extremely potent carcinogen called nitrosodiethanolamine (NDEA). NDEA is readily absorbed through the skin and has been linked with stomach, esophagus, liver, and bladder cancers.
Our safe and more natural choice is Cocamide DEA made by reacting fatty acids in coconut oils with diethanolamine.
GLYCERINE:
Glycerine is a close relative of glucose, otherwise known as sugar.
Used as a humectant in the manufacturing of cosmetics, sweetening and preserving food, and in medicine for suppositories and skin emollients.
Glycerine based internal products have been linked to yeast infections as well. When used in small amounts, a woman who is not prone to yeast infections will most likely have a problem-free experience using a glycerine-based lubricant. However, if a woman is prone to yeast infections, inserting glycerine into the vagina gives the resident yeast extra food, bringing on another overgrowth of that yeast that results in itching and irritation.
For the glycerine-sensitive woman, Intimate Organics offers two lubricant formulas, Hydra and Defense, that are glycerine-free.
Unlike some companies, instead of using animal or bio-disel glycerine, Intimate Organics glycerine based-lubricants, Melt and Soothe, contain a natural plant- based formula.
MENTHOL:
The majority of menthol in personal lubricants and enhancing gels is synthetic. Synthetic menthol comes in the form of I-menthol. This can be irritating and drying to a woman’s clitoris and vagina.
Our safe and natural choice is mentha pepperita, which is natural Japanese
peppermint oil.
ALUMINUM SULPHATE:
Known as "alum" and used in many sexual tightening products. This compound has astringent properties which causes the vaginal tissues to dehydrate.
There is concern that aluminum may cause toxicity in the long run. Aluminum sulphate is used for pickling and canning produce.
Our safe and natural choice is capsicum, derived naturally from the pepper
plant. This extract causes the vaginal walls to temporarily contract without removing moisture from the vagina.
BENZOCAINE:
Benzocaine works by blocking nerve signals in your body. Our bodies need the warning of pain to prevent further damage. Intimate Organic relaxing products use natural clove oil instead of benzocaine and it allows the area to relax and for penetration to be comfortable but it does not numb.
