The organic movement is ever growing, with an increasing number of people choosing organic fruits & vegetables, certified organic skincare and clothing. We are all becoming more conscious and mindful in the way we consume, sustainability being a critical requirement in the products we use.
At Ad Vitam, we are committed to harnessing the full benefits of nature wonderful gifts, organic has always been at the heart of Ad Vitam’s skincare and wellness blends.
Research has shown that many chemicals penetrate the skin barrier and are absorbed into the bloodstream. Applying skin care products that contain potentially dangerous toxins such as phthalates and parabens to your skin every day will expose your body to harmful chemicals.
The rate of dermal absorption depends largely on the outer layer of the skin called the stratum corneum. The SC serves an important barrier function by keeping molecules from passing into and out of the skin, thus protecting the lower layers of skin. The extent of absorption is dependent on the following factors:
Skin integrity (damaged vs. intact),
Location of exposure (thickness and water content of stratum corneum; skin temperature),
Physical and chemical properties of the hazardous substance
Concentration of a chemical on the skin surface
Duration of exposure
The surface area of skin exposed to a hazardous substance
Since we know that many chemicals can and do enter the bloodstream when applied to the skin, many health-conscious consumers choose to buy only certified organic skin care products such as Ad Vitam Organics, beauty in its purest form. Our essential oils blends are made 100% from carefully selected organic ingredients, chemical and cruelty free.
