A new EWG report found that roughly three-quarters of the more than 1,800 sunscreens analyzed don’t provide adequate protection, or they contain ingredients that the FDA has not yet established as safe and effective.

Two actives (PABA and trolamine salicylate) are not recognized as safe and effective; and an additional 12, including oxybenzone and octinoxate, were recently determined by the FDA to need further testing before they're considered safe.

The good news is that two ingredients are labeled as safe and effective, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. These are considered physical blocking ingredients, and they're found in sunscreens. All Sunscreens that we sell at Live Live & Organic contain Non-Nano Zinc Oxide.

While zinc SPF using nanoparticles will protect you effectively, the question of safety isn’t quite as clear cut. The concern is these tiny-sized particles can find your way into your body by entering your pores and then into your bloodstream.

Non-nano particles don’t raise this concern, which makes them an all-around safer option when it comes to sunscreen safety. Not to mention, non-nano zinc can’t be ingested by coral reefs — which means they’re safer for our oceans, too.

Seaweeds are by far the best source of Iodine, 10g of Nori would provide you with 260mcg of Iodine, which is more than what you would get if you ate 6 eggs.

The recommended daily intake of iodine varies depending on age, gender, and life stage. For adults, the recommended intake ranges from 150 to 290 micrograms (mcg) per day. Pregnant and breastfeeding women have higher iodine requirements to support fetal development and milk production.

Iodine deficiency is a significant global health issue. It can result from insufficient dietary intake, particularly in regions with low iodine levels in the soil and local food supply. Iodine deficiency can lead to various health problems, including goiter, hypothyroidism, developmental disorders, and impaired cognitive function.

New York City experienced the highest air pollution level in the world on Tuesday night due to smoke from Canada's raging wildfires. These pollutants can have adverse effects on human health, exacerbating respiratory conditions, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and even impairing cognitive function.

Activated charcoal has gained attention as a potential remedy for detoxification due to its ability to adsorb toxins and chemicals in the body. When consumed, activated charcoal can bind to toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, preventing their absorption into the bloodstream and facilitating their elimination through bowel movements.

A crucial component to the HealthForce SuperFoods® cleanse product family. Charcoal Supreme is a digestive, detoxification, and cleansing support product. We offer this unique formula as a supportive tool for detoxification to assist the body’s innate resiliency, especially during times of increased environmental stressors.

Toxic ingredients like Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Diethanolamine (DEA), PEG-10 Laurate, and Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) commonly found in makeup and skincare products can have adverse health effects. DBP is often used in nail polishes and has been linked to hormonal disruption and reproductive issues. Studies have suggested that DBP can interfere with normal hormone function, potentially affecting fertility and reproductive development. Additionally, exposure to DBP has been associated with an increased risk of asthma, allergies, and even certain cancers.

DEA is another concerning ingredient that is used as an emulsifier or foaming agent in cosmetics. It can react with other chemicals to form carcinogenic compounds called nitrosamines. Prolonged exposure to DEA and nitrosamines has been linked to liver and kidney damage, as well as an increased risk of certain cancers, such as bladder cancer. Furthermore, DEA can also cause skin and eye irritation, leading to discomfort and potential allergic reactions in some individuals.

PEG-10 Laurate is a synthetic compound commonly found in cleansers and moisturizers. It can act as a pe*******on enhancer, allowing other harmful ingredients to enter the skin more easily. PEG-10 Laurate itself can cause skin irritation and sensitivity, particularly in individuals with pre-existing skin conditions. Moreover, the potential for contamination during the manufacturing process raises concerns about the presence of impurities or toxic byproducts in products containing PEG-10 Laurate.

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is an antioxidant often used in lipsticks, moisturizers, and other cosmetic products. Although it helps prolong the shelf life of these products, BHA has been classified as a possible human carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

The world seems to be getting more chaotic every day. Here are five simple ways to destress and promote relaxation:

Practice Deep Breathing: Deep breathing exercises can help activate your body's relaxation response. Take slow, deep breaths in through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. Repeat this several times to help calm your mind and reduce stress.

Engage in Physical Activity: Physical exercise is an excellent way to relieve stress. Engage in activities such as walking, jogging, cycling, or any form of exercise that you enjoy. Exercise releases endorphins, which are natural mood boosters and stress relievers.

Disconnect from Technology: Constant exposure to screens and notifications can contribute to stress and anxiety. Take regular breaks from your electronic devices. Engage in activities like reading a book, going for a walk in nature, or spending quality time with loved ones without any distractions.

Connect with Nature: Spending time in nature has a calming effect on the mind and body. Take a walk in a park, hike in the woods, or simply sit by a lake or beach. Listen to the sounds of nature, breathe in the fresh air, and observe the beauty around you. Nature has a way of reducing stress and promoting relaxation.

Engage in Hobbies or Activities You Enjoy: Take time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

Moroccan Argan Oil for Skin, Hair & Nails.

This rare and exquisite oil is meticulously pressed from the fruit kernels of the Moroccan Argan tree. Argan oil is rich in natural tocopherols (vitamin E) and phenols, carotenes, squalene, and fatty acids, making it a truly luxurious oil. It absorbs quickly and is often used in skin, nail, and hair treatments to deliver deep hydration, strengthen brittle hair and nails, and prevent/reduce stretch marks. Wonderful for use in lotion and cream formulations, or used alone.

As an eye oil (meaning, around the eyes), Argan oil can help to reduce puffiness and inflammation. Simply apply a few drops on your upper and lower eyelids and gently massage in a circular motion.

Because it is rich in vitamins A and E, Argan oil is a natural moisturizer and conditioner for the lips. If your lips are chapped or flaky, Argan oil can restore the moisture and hydration for healthy and soft lips. Apply to your lips overnight for a terrific lip treatment.

Research shows Argan oil protects the skin’s barrier and improves overall texture. Plus, if you’re struggling with eczema, psoriasis, or chronic dry skin, Argan oil may be your saving grace.

A 2013 study even found that Argan oil improved the quality of hair that was intensely colored or dyed. It adds a protective layer to your hair that helps protect it from further damage.

Live Live & Organics Argan Oil is sold in an amber glass bottle to protect nutrients from UV rays.

These nine amino acids are not synthesized by mammals and are therefore dietarily essential. These are commonly called the Essential Amino Acids.

It was previously believed that all nine Essential Amino Acids must be consumed at the same meal in order for the body to form complete proteins. Now it’s known that the body can pool Amino Acids from various foods throughout the day to form complete proteins when needed.

The protein pathway:

Once a protein source reaches your stomach, hydrochloric acid and enzymes called proteases break it down into smaller chains of amino acids. Amino acids are joined together by peptides, which are broken by proteases.

From your stomach, these smaller chains of amino acids move into your small intestine. As this happens, your pancreas releases enzymes and a bicarbonate buffer that reduces the acidity of digested food.

This reduction allows more enzymes to work on further breaking down amino acid chains into individual amino acids.

Once they’ve been absorbed, amino acids are released into your bloodstream, which takes them to cells in other parts of your body so they can start repairing tissue and building muscle.

Our Sandalwood, Australian has a deep, soft, sweet-woody aroma with excellent tenacity and a sweet, smooth dry down. It has a little lighter character than a typical Sandalwood essential oil and displays deeper, woodier undertones. Sandalwood is world-renowned for its spiritual and sensual qualities and incomparable, calming fragrance. Formulators will enjoy the versatility of Sandalwood option for body care, skin care, and natural perfumes.

This Sandalwood essential oil comes from trees that are plantation grown using sustainable practices. In addition, replanting occurs on a continuing basis, thus it is guaranteed ethically harvested.

One study of 87 women undergoing a breast biopsy showed that lavender, sandalwood, and orange-peppermint aromatherapy helped reduce their anxiety. Their beginning anxiety levels were self-reported, as were their anxiety levels after the aromatherapy.

Another study of 32 people in Vienna, Austria, had participants inhale lavender and sandalwood oil. The study found that the participants” blood pressure levels were lower and that the cortisol levels in their saliva were lower after the aromatherapy.

Almond Oil is a great moisturizer, suitable for all skin types, helps relieve irritation, inflammation and itching, and is a great lubricator. Because the oil does not pe*****te the skin overly quickly, it is a good massage medium to use to help spread the oil and essential oil mixture, while still allowing you time to do a good massage before it is absorbed by the skin.

Not only does Almond oil help protect the surface of the skin, it has great value, acting as an emollient, skin soother and softener, while conditioning the skin and promoting a clear young looking complexion. It also helps to relieve muscular aches and pains.

Over 10% of adults in the USA are dealing with Type 2 Diabetes. Along with eating a cleaner diet, getting more exercise and plenty of rest, here are the top supplements to help stabilize your blood sugar:

Magnesium deficiency is seen with decreased absorption (as in patients with poor diets high in processed food) or increased elimination (as in people who use alcohol, caffeine, or take diuretics or birth control pills). Dietary sources include whole grains, leafy green vegetables, legumes, and nuts. Magnesium is involved in insulin secretion, binding, and activity.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) is an antioxidant made by the body and also found in very small amounts in foods. ALA is widely used in Europe and shows promise in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. Small studies show ALA may reduce oxidative stress and improve insulin sensitivity in patients with diabetes.

Individuals with the highest vitamin D status have a 43% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus compared with those in the lowest group. Recent studies have suggested that vitamin D supplementation may confer a positive effect on glycemic control.

Zinc has an interesting relationship with the body’s glucose metabolism. First, zinc plays a key role in the production and secretion of insulin. In addition, zinc is excreted in the urine when blood glucose levels are high, so people with diabetes often have lower zinc serum levels than those without diabetes. Therefore, to support the body’s natural insulin function, it can be helpful to consider zinc supplementation.

Higher levels of homocysteine have been associated with higher insulin resistance and risk of type 2 diabetes. As folate supplementation is one way of lowering homocysteine, it is thought to be a way to mitigate elevated blood glucose levels. A 2019 meta-analysis concluded that folate may be beneficial in supporting glucose homeostasis and lowering insulin resistance.

Here is how you can try oil pulling:

1. Measure one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of oil, such as coconut, sesame, or olive oil.
2. Swish it around in your mouth for 15–20 minutes, being careful not to swallow any.
3. Spit the oil into a trash can once you’re done. Avoid spitting it into the sink or toilet, as this can cause a buildup of oil, which may lead to clogging.
4. Rinse your mouth well using water before eating or drinking anything.

Repeat these steps a few times per week or up to three times daily. You may also want to work your way up, starting with swishing for just 5 minutes and increasing the duration until you’re able to do it for a full 15–20 minutes.

Inflammation is an essential part of your body's healing process. It occurs when inflammatory cells travel to the place of an injury or foreign body like bacteria. If inflammatory cells stay too long, it may lead to chronic inflammation. Here are some of the best natural anti-inflammatories to aid the body in healing:

Turmeric - The studies found that curcumin decreased pain significantly compared to placebo and that it was comparable to ibuprofen. Because curcumin and other chemicals in turmeric might decrease swelling, it is often used to treat conditions that involve pain and inflammation.

MSM - Laboratory studies have found that MSM has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Sulphur, which is a major component of MSM, plays an important role in making collagen and glucosamine, both of which are vital for healthy bones and joints, and in the production of immunoglobulins, which help your immune system.

Vitamin D3 - It has been confirmed that vitamin D has potent anti-inflammatory properties. It contributes to reduction in pro-inflammatory mediators and an increase in anti-inflammatory cytokines. Low levels of vitamin D have been consistently linked to an increased risk of inflammatory diseases

CBD – Research suggests that CBD reduces inflammation by affecting activity in the body's endocannabinoid receptors. This research addresses CBD's effect on acute inflammation and chronic inflammation, especially in Arthritis.

Zinc - Research suggests that zinc is a potent anti-inflammatory that may support the immune system and reduce several markers of inflammation. Zinc is involved in the modulation of the proinflammatory response by targeting a transcription factor that is the master regulator of proinflammatory responses. It is also involved in controlling oxidative stress and regulating inflammatory cytokines.
