Over The Hill Health Matters

For those seeking health products and foods that are in concert with vegan tenets, Solay Wellness products are definitely for you. I’ve checked the Environmental workers Group SkinDeep cosmetic safety database, and all of their products have been given the green light. Literally.

Check my post on safe toothpastes and mouthwash. I discuss this group in greater detail there.

The EWG researchers stand alone, like the Environmental Protection Agency.They are not in the pocket of any pharmaceutical company. They depend upon donations to keep their website and research up and running. The EWG uses a stoplight system of assessment with regard to the safety of cosmetic and toiletry products on the market today.

Green means that the EWG have not found any dangerous compounds which are carcinogenic or pathogenic. It does not mean that one is safe from allergies, however. Natural products, as we all know by this point in time, can cause allergic reactions just like man-made chemicals. All the ingredients are clearly listed, so that you can easily guage your own sensitivities to any products.

I am personally going to start with the Solay toothpowder and see what it is like. And their face cream. Solay carry an anti-aging cream and I will spread it on my toast if that will help!

I love toast.

And they sell coffee and tea too!

And caramels.

And chocolate.

And granola.

All organically grown ingredients.

That means I can eat more.

And what on earth are these salt lamps that they advocate?

Solay carries natural salt crystal lamps, which give off a soft, ambient glow and provide negative ions to the atmosphere. Negative ions are beneficial in that they apparently make the air easier to breathe for people with asthma, chronic lung conditions and air-borne irritant allergies. They are also touted in the literature to improve memory and learning capabilities.

I will look into the scientific basis for these additional claims in my next blog.

What was I just saying?

Solay Wellness carries products for your pets too!

Delicious vegan cookies, and cruely-free shampoo, and pet beds. Your cat might be a killer, and your dog might kill cats, but at least their little tummies will have one less evilly-gotten thing in them with these tasty, healthy morsels from Solay.
