Take a look at the back of your bottle of baby lotion or hair and body wash. Can you pronounce all the chemicals you see?
As scary as it is to be unfamiliar with these artificial ingredients, it's even more concerning when you have experience working with them.
As a chemist, I worked with many of the synthetic emulsifiers, surfactants and preservatives in the laboratory, and I was required to wear protective gear and take precautions not to breath them in. As a mother, it was shocking to see many of these same ingredients in the products available to rub into the skin of my children and myself. For example, Sodium Laurel Sulfate, SLS, which you'll find in almost all hair and body washes, is a common engine degreaser.
My sister, also a mother, has worked for the worlds leading cosmetic companies for over 10 years and has always insisted on providing her customers with the finest quality products available. In other words, she's a complete product snob. She has taught our whole family to scrutinize what we put on our skin. The skin is our largest organ, afterall!
Our youngest sister has a gift for making friends with elders. She has been the one who has consulted with tribal elders to find out what ingredients they used to keep skin clean, fresh and healthy. Our family elders, of the Lakota, Dakota, and Ojibwe Nations taught us to look to what the Earth provides us to find what is best for our bodies and minds.
We are pleased to have created products that are gentle enough for a baby, but decadent enough for anyone to use.
From our family to yours,
The Sisters of Native Wisdom
