I have been asked many times to explain why I think Vital Therapy products are better than the other cosmetic products on the market and why I have developed these particular products when  stores, salons and physician’s offices carry thousands of various products to enhance the beauty of the skin.

A recent article in The Townsend Letter for doctors and patients,  and The Wall Street Journal, concerning the rise of breast cancer in the United States, stated that some of the culprits in contributing to this increase were toxic ingredients and mutagenic ingredients commonly found in almost all cosmetic products.

 Most skin care products contain ingredients like preservatives, dyes, and chemicals that have No Value in the beautification of the skin and may in fact contribute to hormonal or endocrine changes that are responsible for

Breast cancer. It is no secret that anything applied to the skin can  and  almost always is absorbed into the blood stream and must be handled as a toxic compound. These ingredients do not evaporate after application to the skin.

An example of this would be the chemical preservatives called parabens. Parabens are endocrine disrupters that mimic the hormone estrogen and have been found to accumulate in the tissue of women with breast cancer.

Safer alternatives are available such as essential oils which are antibacterial, antifungal and anti-viral and do not disrupt endocrine systems and do not accumulate in the  breast tissue.

These essential oils are not as stable as parabens and thus  Vital Therapy products do not have long shelf  lives, that is they must always be fresh and they must be turned over in  2 years. Parabens on the other hand may increase shelf  life  up to 6 to 8 years. This is why the major cosmetic companies use these  parabens.
