So in case you missed it, HERE is what you missed.
Is there truth to what has been debated for over a decade now
regarding antibacterial soap? I am one that strayed from antibacterial soaps
about ten years ago because, well for one – I built a whole company around
using essential oils in lieu of synthetics.
I had to walk my talk.

Hummingbird Farms No 307 Hand Soap with Lavender & Rosemary |
Through my research I learned that essential oils offer
antibacterial benefits the natural way.
Did you know that lavender and rosemary is a natural antibacterial? Both
are naturally anti-septic and anti-fungal.
We don’t need chemicals to smell nice, sanitize our skin, or moisturize our skin. In fact, if you
are using too many chemicals for these purposes, then you are going to find
yourself in a vicious cycle. You will find that you keep
using synthetic products to combat the dryness because the said product really
does provide a “feeling” of softness (and it smells really nice with all that
synthetic fragrance), but it is only a temporary feeling of softness, so you
keep reapplying to only find that you keep using more and more because for some
reason your skin just keeps getting drier and drier if you don’t use it. What
has happened is that you have lost all the essential balance your skin needs
and traded it for a temporary feeling of softness. You have disrupted what is natural with a
bottle of chemicals.
There are concerns of what is happening to our immune systems with all these synthetics, and clearly, something has drastically changed
regarding autoimmune diseases in the last couple of decades.
Allow essential oils like lavender and rosemary serve as
your natural antibacterial, not foreign, lab created chemicals that your immune
system doesn’t understand.
Kind of like a duck does.
But if you are a duck, be cautious of that synthetic duck commander call.
It might quack like a duck, but…..
