Whispering Pines Bed & Bath is dedicated to offering natural and organic products made just for you! It
is my passion to to create healthier consumer products with all natural ingredients, blended
with pure Essential Oils. I do not use any animal by-products and my products are not tested
on animals.
My journey began
while trying to find cleaning supplies that were not harmful to pets and amazingly enough, almost everything safe led me
to Essential Oils. From there it just exploded as I researched into other products I
use; It was and still is amazing to me just how harmful most products are to us, our children, and our environment.
Then I think the addiction set in.
Cosmetics, Beauty, and Body products do not get the same labeling guidelines as food.
Why? Your skin is the largest organ you have. So, basically, most products that we purchase that are labeled "Natural" are
far from it. FDA doesn't monitor or care; So that "Natural" product you just spent double the money
on....(most likely) can contain less than 1% of say a rose water (or anything natural) and they can sell it as Natural.
If the label says "Fragrance" you can bet that it has nothing to do with an Essential Oil, ya,
I know the label said "Lavender". Well it probably is not real Lavender if it says Fragrance.
Most products have water in them; water
is where your bacteria grows. And most products also have a shelf life of 4 years. So, now you have to add
preservatives. Lots of it...4 years worth. Don't get me wrong, preservatives are necessary to prevent harmful
bacteria growth. However, there are natural preservatives. And some preservatives are not harmful in small quantities.
But, keep in mind these preservatives are in almost everything we use. And it is drastically cheaper for large
corporations to mass produce using cheap, synthetic chemicals to "preserve" your product that is going to sit on
a shelf for 4 years. And of course, there is tons of research showing "Parabens" are found in breast
cancer tissue. (Campaign for Safe Cosmetics). Lead in your lipstick. Mercury in your mascara. Please,
don't take my word. Check it out for yourself. Take the Whispering Challenge. Read ever label of every
product you are putting on your skin. Ask yourself...Would I eat this? Would I feed it to my children? If
the answer is no, Don't put it on your skin. |
