WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW CAN HURT YOU  The synthetic chemicals found in personal care products are not always safe.   Many of these chemicals have been linked to cancer birth defects, reproductive problems, infertility and learning disabilities. At Trillium Organics, we don't use any synthetics, parabens, or petroleum derrivatives, just whole organic ingredeints with a evolutionarily significant history of safe human use.
Our main detoxification systems, skin, liver and kidney cells have evolved over tens of millions of years. In sharp contrast, manufacturers have been using petrochemical ingredients in personal care, for about 80-90 years.     We are asking an ancient defense system which has evolved over millions of years to safely rid our bodies of substances found in the natural world to deal with numerous new “never seen before” compounds. Complex compounds that are completely novel to our bodies are commonly found in personal care products.  Our organs are simply not designed to contend with synthetic compounds. Scientists used to believe that a little of something harmful will not hurt you even when a lot of it will.  We now know that just the opposite is true for some of these petrochemical synthetic compounds.  Scientists have now established that the tiny daily doses, like those you get with daily personal care product application, are being absorbed into the body.   Many personal care products include ( and brag about) absorption enhancers!  They have determined that such minute doses over long periods of time can be very dangerous.  Synthetic personal care products are like a huge experiment being conducted on the population, without our knowledge or consent.  But now you have read this, and you know better.  There are better options, remember we were all Organic one century ago, and humans have been caring for and  beautifying their skin for millennia.  Trillium makes products from Organic ingredients in innovative ways that make use of our fabulous modern conveniences, like indoor plumbing, to give you radiant, balanced healthy skin, without exposing you to synthetic mystery compounds.
