“I have a friend that used special soap for after training and when he stopped using it, he got a staph infection.”

I hear this a lot.  My response is, “It’s probably because you’re using products made with chemicals to disinfect your skin.”
What does that mean?
“Products made with Chemicals” are products with ingredients like triclosan or other “Active Ingredients” with hard-to-prounounce names. These ingredients have been created in a lab.

Why would I say that products made with chemicals were the cause?
When products made with chemicals are used frequently, it throws the PH level off, and also kills your little skin army. Here’s why….
Our skin is rather amazing, for 2 major reasons:
•    It has a PH level of 4.0-4.4.  That is acidic.  Bacteria likes acidic. If it’s not acidic, bacteria falls off the skin.  For reason of the next bullet, acidic is GOOD.
•    At any given time, we have 10 to the 12th power (10x10x10x10… …) of FRIENDLY bacteria on our skin.  
It might as well be another ecosystem living on YOU. Call it a skin army.  When you nuke it with chemicals..you annihilate a population of friendly bacteria that help PROTECT YOU.  You just nuked your army.

Plant oils like those in Super Body Care products are Peppermint, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Lavender. 
Plant oil properties have been documented for centuries to fight fungi, viruses,  bacteria, parasites, indigestion, and soooo much more!  Plants are here to HELP us.

We share a very fundamental relationship with plants.    What we exhale (CO2) is what plants inhale.  What plants exhale (Oxygen), is what humans and other animals inhale.  We sustain each others lives.  Why wouldn't plants also offer healing qualities too?

I hope this stretched your brain. ☺

Super Body Care is sold in Japan and Ireland, and donated to Africa and Haiti!

Just recently, Super Body Care has aligned its purpose with going international!  This means big things, because people know what's good for them! We recently donated our Body Wipes to an organization that helps folks in South Africa.  They used the Body Wipes to cleanse in the absence of available showers while on their mission!  Additionally, we are working with our connection in the Coast Guard, to send a box of wipes to cleanse any of our own Americans, as well as any Haitian folks in need of hygiene.
Our products supplement the immune system.  They don't "nuke" the surface of the skin like commercial brand products using lab-created antibacterials. Our active ingredients are Peppermint, Rosemary, Tea Tree, Lavender.
Recently we sent our second shipment of product out to Defend U Ireland, an MMA gym!
As well as getting Japan on the map as distribution, this is VERY exciting.
Additionally, we made contacts this past weekend with military and hope to send Body Wipes overseas.   Thanks for all your purchases!   And thank you for all of your great feedback and compliments!

Your skin, human weaponry

I’ve set up a table at many events and had opportunities to talk with several athletes.  Some brag, “I’ve NEVER gotten ringworm!!” And some regretfully admit, “I just step on the mat and I GET ringworm”.  There you have two extremes: one with the “Rockstar” immune system, and one,  not so much.  And then you have all those people in between that make up the average. 
Have you ever seen a video of a big fish, that has lots of small fish swimming right next to it? Feeding frequently from the surface of the big fish’s skin/scales?  They co-exist, and benefit each other.  It’s like a mini eco-system, and every animal (including you) has a similar makeup. It’s a perfect cooperative, and it also happens on the surface of your skin.

At any given time, your skin’s surface has 10 to the 12th power of bacteria (10x10x10x10x10….totaling 12 times), mostly friendly bacteria, that call your skin “home”.  This is called your “skin flora”. This type of bacteria is usually friendly, and called mutualistic, or in easier terms, beneficial, just like those little fish and big fish we mentioned earlier.  To put it in even simpler terms, these friendly bacteria hold down your neighborhood like gangsters, and if some unsuspecting pathogen decides to take residence, these bacteria gangsters are not allowing it. 

Well if these friendly bacteria are so gangster when it comes to pathogens, then why do we still get an infection?  Great question. If you’re cleansing frequently with aggressive cleansers, like alcohol, or lab-created antibacterials like triclosan, etc., it will reduce the effectiveness of the bacterial alliance formed on the surface of your skin, your “skin flora”. Repeated use of aggressive cleansers “nuke” the surface of your skin.  An open wound doesn’t help matters either. 

Human Weaponry
In addition to your bacteria brigade, your skin is responsible for manufacturing weapons, “antimicrobial peptides” to reduce microbes of bacteria, fungi, and viruses.  This is where, man is not created equal, and we each have a slightly different immune system based on the DNA that was handed to us at birth, AND how well we maintain our health.  Experts have identified that Vitamin D3 has a LOT to do with the production of the antimicrobial peptides.  Consider getting your blood tested for Vitamin D levels.  Historical trend indicates that Americans are almost always deficient in Vitamin D3.

Skin PH
Typically, our skin’s surface PH is 4-4.4, meaning acidic.  An acidic environment is more likely to aid in production of Antimicrobial Peptides.  Again, when repeatedly using harsh cleansers, it changes the PH of the skin surface and jeopardizes your ability to naturally fight off offending bacteria, fungi, and viruses.

So you can see the importance of hygiene, and keeping that delicate balance of cleanly hygiene, while not jeopardizing this precious ecosystem and skin flora that makes up your external immune ecosystem. 

Super Body Care produces gentle, yet effective skin care products made with plant oils (nature) that have been documented for hundreds of years to demonstrate properties that fight fungi, bacteria, viruses, and parasites. 

If you look around us, our ecosystem is surrounded by plant life.  What we exhale, is what plants inhale.  What animals inhale, is what plants exhale.  Oxygen and CO2.  One cannot deny the relationship we have with plant life.

You’ll find our products leave you feeling clean, protected, and maybe even addicted.
