Congratulations to the Winners of our January Sleuth Challenge!
The Winners: Congratulations to the January Impact Sleuth Challenge Winners who each won a personal body care gift set from Pangea Organics: Dawn Murphy of Heathrow, FL; Julia Versaci of Marietta, GA; Susan Shea of Oceanside, CA; Debi Herrington of Seattle, WA; and Casey Coy of Ann Arbor, MI. Congrats and Enjoy!
This Month's Challenge: Break free of your unhealthy chemical intake in 2009. Most common body products contain harmful substances such as coal tar, parabens, petrochemicals, and triclosan- which researchers have sited as contributors to cancer, antibacterial resistance and hormone disruption. According to this Ideal Bite Tip, what percentage of what is rubbed on your skin is actually absorbed?
The Prize: Start the New Year off chem-free with one of five personal body care gift sets courtesy of Pangea Organics (Retail Value $30). A plus for the planet: Pangea's gift boxes are 100% compostable, biodegradable and plantable- follow the directions and up should spring a Spruce Tree! Many thanks to Pangea Organics for sponsoring this month's challenge and prize!
The Answer: Skin absords about 60% of what you rub on it.
Thanks to everyone who participated- look for a new Sleuth Challenge next month!
