The average store-bought soap and shampoo contains an alarming amount of toxic chemicals. The main culprits are parabens, sulfates, triclosan, and phthalates. The levels of toxicity and their effects vary, but what they all have in common is that they are Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) - and they are all detrimental to baseline levels of health and vitality.

An endocrine disruptor is an exogenous substance or mixture that alters the function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse health effects. These foreign chemicals can mimic estrogen in the body, binding to the estrogen receptors of cells. Xenoestrogens in soaps and shampoos can be particularly dangerous as skin absorption is highest on the forehead and scalp out of anywhere on the body.

When exogenous estrogen-like molecules enter the body through skin absorption, it can have a multitude of long-lasting skin and health effects over time.

Some of these health effects can include:

• Acne.

• Skin disorders, including Eczema, Psoriasis, KT, and more.

• Excess fat.

• Lower testosterone: estrogen ratio.

• Mood disorders.

• Reduced reproductive health.

• Immune dysfunction.

• Dull, lifeless skin.

• Cancer.

• Inheritable DNA damage.

SO WHAT'S THE SOLUTION?

The first step to reclaiming your skin health is to throw away all your mainstream cosmetic products. That 17-step skincare routine you were sold on by some vegan influencer? It's trash. Even many of the so-called "natural" brands still contain ingredients like "fragrance," which is an umbrella term used to hide toxic chemicals. The more foreign ingredients you introduce to your body, the more disruption occurs. Simplicity is elite.

Now that your cosmetics cabinet is empty, it's time to add back the basics.

Introducing BIOMAX:

With a production method unchanged since the 1st century B.C., BIOMAX Aleppo Soap is the same beautifying soap used by Queen Cleopatra to achieve her radiant complexion.

Consisting of just Extra-Virgin Olive Oil and Laurel Oil (20%), our soap is 100% natural and works to clean the skin and hair WITHOUT disrupting the microbiome, so you can let your skin do it's thing.

Our soap is not only hydrating, but the laurel oil provides added anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-itching benefits. It is also deeply soothing and offers restorative effects to the skin.

Our oils are harvested traditionally in the Mediterranean village of Hatay, Turkey without the use of any pesticides.

Finally, when washing, opt for a reverse osmosis water filter, if possible, which will guard against any xenoestrogens in the water supply. Aleppo soap contains vitamin E, which can help the body process and detox harmful chemicals, but it is best to avoid tap water and anything in plastic packaging. Our soap is packaged in natural kraft paper and shipped in the same material.

Most importantly, however, don’t forget to live your life. Be aware of what is going on, but also know that some exposure to xenoestrogens will not kill you and that living a rich social life is important. BIOMAX provides access to elite-quality natural personal care products. It is not about scaring you into being overly-concerned of everything you touch & eat because that is stressful to the body and therefore unhealthy.
