Commerical soaps make promises to take care of your skin but many soaps are doing just the opposite and introducing harmful chemicals into your body.  But you don't have to sacrifice hygene for safety. One bar of soap may not look harmful but we don't use just soap.

"Deodarant, soap, shampoo these are cumulative and what goes into your largest organ, its toxic in, toxic out." Said Karen Largent.

Chemicals in products we use on our body everyday have been linked to serious disease such as cancer and asthma.  This worried Sally and Karen, so they dipped their hands into a very clean project.

"Its called Oh Lala because of all the benefits we have seen."  Said Karen.

Soaps made right in this home are made of only natural oils.

"Olive Oil, coconut oil, palm oil." Said Sally Rubio.

This may sounds like a tropical drink but these ingredients make up a safe soap with the power to heal. 

"These things are being healed simply because they are not putting chemicals on day after day."  Said Sally.

And Karen and Sally are not the only ones worried about everyday products, Congress has proposed new legislation that would require companies to identify harmful chemicals.
