Ever stop to think about whether the foods we put in our bodies are good for us or bad for us? Of course you do…probably with every snack and every meal! Nutritious foods keep us healthy while looking and feeling our best. Not only that, but certain foods are known to ward off certain illnesses and can even slow down the aging process. Why is it then we don’t give a second thought to the products we put on our body?
Michael and Diana Wilson Owners and Founders of Saints & Sinners Haircare have three children with life threatening nut allergies and were appalled that not only weren’t there any nut free haircare lines on the market, but that many brands still continue to embrace, formulate with and tout their numerous nut ingredients. Nut ingredients can certainly cause an anaphylactic reaction when ingested, but have equally harrowing effects when topically applied as well for the over 5,000,000 Americans suffering with nut allergies. Currently there is no federal oversight as it pertains to ingredient warning labels for haircare products so it is solely left to the consumer to evaluate ingredient lists. Nut ingredients have no business in haircare products!
Widely used due to their low cost, ingredients like parabens and phthalates can pose a different set of issues as it relates to the endocrine system which regulates and monitors our hormonal balance. There is growing concern as to the safety of these ingredients and their relationship to cancer. Having lost her mother to breast cancer and best friend to ovarian cancer, Diana was committed to not only the most luxuriously high performing brand on the market, but the cleanest as well – no parabens or phthalates will ever make their way into any Saints & Sinners product.
Think about the act of actually using a haircare product. For this example, let’s think in terms of a leave-in conditioner. Not only are you leaving it in your hair but you’re actually leaving it on your scalp! Skin acts as a conduit directly funneling ingredients through the many varied layers, eventually reaching our blood stream. You’ll find none of the nasties like nuts, parabens or phthalates in our leave-in, Velvet Divine Leave-In Conditioner. We encourage you to read every haircare product label as there are still a vast number of brands that will put their greed over your safety!
Saints & Sinners doesn’t just stop there. There are a host of other ingredients like gluten and talc for example that will never make their way into a single Saints & Sinners product.
