Parabens and breast cancer.

THE ROXY SOAP SAY NO TO PARABENS. We use natural ingredients to make our natural handmade soap. Parabens are a type of preservative that are naturally occurring in plant sources. They act as an antimicrobial agent however, most them are synthetically produced. There is a lot of controversy around the use of the synthetically produced preservatives used in our skin care products and their effects on the human body. Essentially, parabens have been largely used in the cosmetic industry and are found in almost all products. They are very effective as they are antibacterial and anti-fungal. They show up everywhere including your food.



Cosmetic companies are searching high and low for ways to get the parabens and preservatives out of their product but still not have to worry about spoilage and bacteria. There is a lot of insufficient evidence that is leading to concerns over whether or not parabens cause cancer. One study reports that they were being found in samples of breast tumors. The study is being debated but it has people questioning if the rise in breast cancer could be related to the parabens found in under arm deodorant or other cosmetics that may have moved into the breast tissue.

Breast Cancer.

Average levels of 20 nanograms/gram of parabens have been detected in a small sample of 20 breast tumors. These findings, along with the demonstrated ability of some parabens to partially mimic estrogen, a hormone known to play a role in the development of breast cancers, have led some scientists to conclude that the presence of parabens may be associated with the occurrence of breast cancer, and to call for investigation into whether or not a causal link exists. The lead researcher of the UK study, molecular biologist Philippa Darbre, reported that the ester-bearing form of the parabens found in the tumors indicate that they came from something applied to the skin, such as an underarm deodorant, cream or body spray, and stated that the results helped to explain why up to 60% of all breast tumors are found in just one-fifth of the breast - the upper-outer quadrant, nearest the underarm. "From this research it is not possible to say whether parabens actually caused these tumors, but they may certainly be associated with the overall rise in breast cancer cases. Given that breast cancer is a large killer of women and a very high percentage of young women use underarm deodorants, I think we should be carrying out properly funded, further investigations into parabens and where they are found in the body," says Philip Harvey, an editor of the Journal of Applied Toxicology, which published the research. A 2004 study at Northwestern University found that an earlier age of breast cancer diagnosis related to more frequent use of antiperspirants/deodorants and underarm shaving. "I personally feel there is a very strong correlation between the underarm hygiene habits and breast cancer," said immunologist Dr. Kris McGrath, the author of the study.- Wikipedia



Some dermatitis conditions are caused by an allergic reaction or sensitivity to parabens. I have extremely sensitive skin and have had no problem with flare ups while using a product that is paraben and preservative free. Ironically, researchers in Japan say that methylparaben may cause skin to age when it is exposed the ultraviolet rays. So the anti aging products you may be using could be aging your skin.

Olive Oil Goodness

Religious Use 
Olive oil also has religious symbolism for healing and strength and to consecration—God's setting a person or place apart for special work. This may be related to its ancient use as a medicinal agent and for cleansing athletes by slathering them in oil then scraping them。

Judaism
In Jewish observance, olive oil is the only fuel allowed to be used in the seven-branched Menorah in the Mishkan service during the Exodus of the tribes of Israel from Egypt, and later in the permanent Temple in Jerusalem. It was obtained by using only the first drop from a squeezed olive and was consecrated for use only in the Temple by the priests, which is where the expression pure olive oil originates, stored in special containers. A menorah similar to the Menorah used in the Mishkan is now used during the holiday of Hanukkah that celebrates the miracle of the last of such containers being found during the re-dedication of the Temple (163 BC), when its contents lasted for far longer than they were expected to, allowing more time for more oil to be made. Although candles can be used to light the hanukkiah, oil containers are preferred, to imitate the original Menorah. Another use of oil in Jewish religion is for anointing the kings of the Kingdom of Israel, originating from King David. Tzidkiyahu was the last anointed King of Israel. One unusual use of olive oil in the Talmud is for bad breath, by creating a water-oil-salt mouthwash.[citation needed] The Talmud also states that frequent consumption of olive oil is good for one's memory. -Wikipedia.

Variety Brand of Olive Oil in the market.

Christianity
The Catholic and Orthodox Churches use olive oil for the Oil of Catechumens (used to bless and strengthen those preparing for Baptism) and Oil of the Sick (used to confer the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick or Unction). Olive oil mixed with a perfuming agent such as balsam is consecrated by bishops as Sacred Chrism, which is used to confer the sacrament of Confirmation (as a symbol of the strengthening of the Holy Spirit), in the rites of Baptism and the ordination of priests and bishops, in the consecration of altars and churches, and, traditionally, in the anointing of monarchs at their coronation. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) and a number of other religions use olive oil when they need to consecrate an oil for anointings.

Eastern Orthodox Christians still use oil lamps in their churches, home prayer corners and in the cemeteries. A vigil lamp consists of a votive glass containing a half-inch of water and filled the rest with olive oil. The glass has a metal holder that hangs from a bracket on the wall or sits on a table. A cork float with a lit wick floats on the oil. To douse the flame, the float is carefully pressed down into the oil. Makeshift oil lamps can easily be made by soaking a ball of cotton in olive oil and forming it into a peak. The peak is lit and then burns until all the oil is consumed, whereupoon the rest of the cotton burns out. Olive oil is a usual offering to churches and cemeteries.
In Orthodox Church, olive oil is a product not consumed during lent or penance while Orthodox monks use it sparingly in their diet. Exceptions are in feast days and Sundays.-Wikipedia.

Islam
In Islam, olive oil is mentioned in the Quranic verse: "Allah is the light of the Heavens and the Earth. An example of His light is like a lantern inside which there is a torch, the torch is in a glass bulb, the glass bulb is like a bright planet lit by a blessed olive tree, neither Eastern nor Western, its oil almost glows, even without fire touching it, light upon light." The Qur’an also mentions olives as a sacred plant: "By the fig and the olive, and the Mount Sinai, and this secure city."[68] Olive oil is also reported to have been recommended by the Prophet Muhammad in the following terms: "Consume olive oil and anoint it upon your bodies since it is of the blessed tree."-Wikipedia.

Olive Oil Benefits The Body Internally
One of the main olive oil benefits is the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. If you are fond of reading about the Mediterranean culture, you will surely come across the fact that there is very minimal occurrence of death caused by cardiovascular diseases. Studies conducted revealed that this is owed to the fact that this nation prefers to use olive oil to animal fat-based oils. Thus they experience more of the benefits of olive oil.
Another point that shouldn’t be disregarded when talking about olive oil benefits is with digestion. It aids in the prevention of constipation keeping the digestive tract healthy. Intake of olive oil sustains metabolism due to its high caloric level without the presence of harmful cholesterol. Olive oil also aids in the prevention of stomach ulcers and other diseases that might be harmful to the digestive processes of the body.

Olive Oil Benefits That You Can See Physically
The skin is the most visible example of olive oil benefits to the human body. Olive oil contains essential vitamins that are helpful in delaying the aging process. The healthy fatty acids present in olive oil promote soft and suppler skin, which is an important component of beauty. So, now you have discovered another vital beauty secret that is proven to be safe and effective.
Indeed, olive oil benefits are not only for beauty but more on the healthy maintenance of the body internally. Now, you know the reason why Mediterranean culture continues to practice the old tradition of using olive oil instead of animal fats.

Activated Charcoal
Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal or activated coal, is a form of carbon that has been processed to make it extremely porous and thus to have a very large surface area available for adsorption or chemical reactions.- Wikipedia.

It adsorbs poisons such as lead and mercury many times over any other known substance. Charcoal adsorbs vast amounts of gases, heavy metals, poisons, and other chemicals; thus rendering them ineffective and harmless. Ancient physicians including Hippocrates recommended the use of charcoal for medicinal purposes. North American Indians used it for skin infections. In Asia it has been used for centuries to whiten the skin.

Charcoal can do these various things because of its ability to attract other substances to its surface and hold them there by adsorption. One teaspoon of activated charcoal has a surface area of more than a football field.

Human skin allows transfers of liquids, gases, and even micro-particles through its permeable membrane and pores. By the application of activated charcoal we can actually draw bacteria and poisons through the skin.

Charcoal has proven track record for its detoxifying power. It is used to effectively cleanse and whiten your skin, unclogg pores, remove impurities and dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin, resulting supple, delicate and smooth skin. The black soap is scented with Peppermint and Tea Tree essential oil to further give you the edge of the ultimately healthy skin. Tea tree oil has been known to penetrate to the cellular level. Many of the most valuable uses of tea tree oil have to do with the skin. It is used in many acne preparations, and it can help to reduce redness and swelling. Our charcoal soap is further enhanced with raw, unrefined shea butter and argan oil to leave your skin softer, smoother and radiantly healthy.

Why not Bamboo Charcoal Soap? Some people ask me... well, if you feel the Bamboo Charcoal Soap are different from our The Roxy Handmade Activated Charcoal Soap... think carefully, Activated Bamboo Charcoal Soap need to grind the Bamboo Charcoal into poweder.

What makes the different with our The Roxy Handmade Activated Charcoal Soap? haha.... actually Im not saying bamboo charcoal charcoal are not good, but the usage for it to make a soap are not this way... it will be a superb decoration while filtering the air and cleaning the air... actually I prefer the bamboo in it's original shape than grinding it into powder for house decoration.
