Are Harmful Toxins & Chemicals Hiding in your Cosmetics?

Our skin is our first line of defense, it's what stands between us and the outside world acting as a protective shield from toxins entering the body. As our largest organ, everything we put on our skin is quickly absorbed and in some cases, goes directly into our bloodstream.

As a society we have learned to focus on where our food comes from and how it’s made but we are now starting to learn more about the skincare industry and take on new knowledge that many common beauty care products labelled "healthy" or "organic" still contain undesirable preservatives and unrecognizable ingredients that have potentially detrimental side effects to our health. 

S H I M M E R  C H E F stands by our philosophy that the products we use should be working for us, not against us by harnessing the power of natural nutrition to change the way we care for our skin, scalp and hair.

Healthy Fats for Your Skin & Hair -
the Power of Essential Fatty Acids

Essential Fatty Acids or "healthy fats" are required fats that can not be made by the body and must be obtained through diet. These specific fats are used to build two types of fatty acid's called Omega 3's and Omega 6's. These fatty acids fall under the category of polyunsaturated fats which are mainly derived from nuts, seeds, seed oils and fish and hold many health benefits to our skin, scalp and hair.

Omega 3 EFA's form the building blocks of healthy skin and hair. They act on our scalp and skin to prevent dryness with moisturizing and hydrating properties and contain anti-inflammatory compounds that help alleviate common skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. Omega 3s' play a big part in preventing hair loss by helping with blood circulation and cell growth, both of which are important for your hair follicles.

Top 5 Sources of Omega 3 EFA's

1. Flaxseed
2. Chia Seed
3. Walnuts
4. Hemp Seeds
5. Spirulina
