I'm ordering products one day when I come across this strange word "cupuacu". My first thought is how do I pronounce it and what is it? As I read more I learned a lot about natural ingredients from the Amazon and their benefits to skin and hair. I was really impressed to know cupuacu butter is called Amazonian shea butter, however it is superior to shea in terms of moisturizing properties. Due to the high level of triglycerides caupuacu leaves a softness on the skin and hair like never before. In addition the butter has water retention properties which allows hair and skin to retain moisture. After using it on my hair, my hair was so soft and moisturized I couldn't believe the results. I can't wait to share my new creations with everyone.

Moisturizers Increasing Cancer Risk for Some Women
A recent news report highlighted the risk some moisturizers can have for some women that are already prone to cancer. It has been known for some years that the preservative paraben was found in breast cancer tissue, however there is no definite answer as to how it entered the tissue cells. Some theories suggest it could be entering the body through commercial underarm deodorants which mostly contain paraben as a preservative. In addition, some moisturizers used on the skin may serve as an entrance into the body. With this in mind it's even more important to know what you use on your skin because those ingredients enter your body through the skin.
Another point consumers have to remember is the FDA doesn't regulate cosmetics the same as drugs and food. For example, cosmetics by law don't have to be tested before they enter the marketplace. So it's imperative for consumers to read the labels in order for them to understand what they're using. To learn more about the products research them to see if they're known toxins or if they have health concerns attached with using them.
