Adult Male Human: Ethical and organic grooming products

By Ann Binlot Published July 15, 2016

In this day and age, you never know what you’re going to get when it comes to grooming products. The industry is severely unregulated, which means that the shampoo, aftershave, or soap that you use could be full of chemicals that could be potentially damaging to your health. Adult Male Human, a new grooming line whose ethos is: “Extraordinary men’s grooming. Non-toxic, paraben, petro-free, cruelty-free,” brings you a line of men’s grooming products that are free of everything that you don’t want: petrochemicals, toxins and paraben. They also don’t harm animals when making their products.

Mushrooms for men’s skincare? Verdoie adds new shroom-based supplement

These two products harness the healing power of mushrooms

Verdoie skincare product

Mushrooms are everywhere. They surround us in the woods when we go for a walk after a heavy spring rain. They’re omnipresent in recipes, both around the world and across the internet. They’ve even turned up in our coffee lately, so it was probably just a matter of time before they appeared in skincare products.
The company to thank for this latest development is a French firm called Verdoie, which just added a supplement called Le Complement Alimentaire to its existing line of mushroom-based moisturizers.

Is too much shower time bad for your skin? What a new study says

This study was conducted on eczema patients, and its good news for them

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last couple of years, you’ve probably read or heard a few things about the importance of our skin biome. It’s being compared in importance to our gut bacteria, which many researchers and scientists believe determines the strength of our immune system.
However, the rise of the skin biome has come with several unintended consequences. One is the idea that bathing too frequently or spending too much time in the shower weakens or damages the skin biome, but a recent study suggests that this might not be true at all.

This in-depth study was conducted on eczema patients

The fact that this study was conducted exclusively using eczema patients might seem like a good way to produce idiosyncratic results, but if you look at the details of the study, the struggles these people experience suggests a weaker skin biome that makes them ideal for this kind of test.
The Eczema Bathing Study was designed by people with eczema, together with researchers and healthcare professionals. Subjects were divided into two groups: Those who bathed or showered at least six times a week were classified as “daily bathing,” while those who showered or bathed once or twice a week were designated “weekly bathing.”
These people followed the same routine for four weeks, and they made no changes in their eczema routine, i.e., they used the same moisturizers and other skincare products to counter their condition. The amount of bathing is a vital variable for those struggling with eczema, and there were 438 people in the study, including both adults and children.
