Sensitive skin, eco-friendly products, and cruelty free skin care have been the buzzwords for years when it comes to more environmentally friendly living. But how do you know that what you are purchasing is “really” what it claims to be? How do you know that the chemicals used by a company that claims to be “all natural” really are just that? And just because something claims to be all natural, doesn't necessarily mean it’s good for your skin.
This is where Mother Dirt Shampoo stepped in, and did their due diligence and research. What they discovered was that although they are invisible to the naked eye, our bodies are a host to trillions of microorganisms. Our gut relies on good bacteria and probiotics to help us stay well, and our skin similarly relies on good bacteria to help us stay well.
Biome
Invisible to the naked eye, our bodies play host to trillions of microorganisms. Just like our gut relies on good bacteria and probiotics, our skin relies on good bacteria to help us be healthy as well. This elaborate ecosystem is called the skin biome.
Our skin biome today faces many challenges. The obsession with cleanliness and sterility has developed an environment that makes it difficult for even healthy bacteria to grow. In addition, our natural environments shape our biome, and urban living has made this difficult, as it’s in nature that we are exposed to beneficial bacteria.
This has made our ecosystem less diverse, and has left us more susceptible to skin irritation, allergies, and other skin problems.
AOB
Ammonia Oxidizing Bacteria historically would have populated our skin’s microbiome naturally, making our skin an ideal place for good bacteria to live. However, the widespread use of soaps, deodorants, and other personal care products have completely wiped them out.
By applying good bacteria back to your skin, you are restoring your skin to it’s original, healthy state. AOB will convert the irritating components of our sweat (ammonia and urea) and will turn them into by products that are healthier (Nitrite and Nitric Oxide).
Nitric Oxide is an antioxidant that helps to soothe the skin, while Nitrite keeps the bad bacteria under control. This will restore balance to your skin’s ecosystem and in turn reduce the dependence on conventional soap products, along with moisturizers and deodorants.
Armed with all of this powerful information, Mother Dirt Shampoo has created a line of skin cleansers that will quickly and naturally help to have your skin as close to its natural state as possible.
Amongst these cleansers are two (2) featured products:
Mother Dirt Shampoo $15.00. This biome friendly shampoo is a color safe formula that will easily remove dirt and oil, gradually lengthening the time required in between washes. This shampoo can be used with or without conditioner, and is 100% free of preservatives, fragrances, and is completely plant based.
This shampoo doesn’t contain AOB, but it is tested, screened, and formulated in a very specific way to preserve the good bacteria on the skin.
Conventional shampoos use preservatives, surfactants, and other chemicals that can eradicate the good bacteria from your skin. This biome friendly shampoo has been carefully screened through each ingredient using Mother Dirts patent pending development process.
As a result of not using preservatives, the shampoo will expire eight (8) weeks from its first pump.
When using this shampoo, your hair will feel clean, but not stripped. You may need to use a conditioner, in which case it is important to apply it just to the ends, avoiding the scalp. The purpose of this is to not disrupt the scalp, where the good bacteria are. Over time, you can slowly reduce the amount of conditioner you are using until you no longer feel you need it.
Face and Body Cleanser $15.00. This Face and Body Cleanser will easily remove dirt and oil from your skin without stripping or drying it. Safe to use to remove makeup, and it is suitable for dry, oily, or sensitive skin. The Face and Body Cleanser is free from preservatives and fragrances, and is completely plant based.
The premise behind the Face and Body Cleanser is that our skin has become so accustomed to being stripped by lathering agents, chemicals, preservatives, and soaps, that all of the good bacteria is also stripped away from our skin. This cleanser is the first one to ever be formulated to preserve the good bacteria naturally found on the skin.
You would use the Face and Body Cleanser as you would any other face and body cleanser, just pump into your hands, lather on to wet skin, and rinse.
There is no need to lather up from head to toe with this cleanser, just focus on key areas of the body, the areas that sweat the most (face, hands, scalp, underarms, groin, and feet), and a little goes a long way.
The Face and Body Cleanser works well as a makeup remover, and as a shaving cream.
