You Are What You Put On Your Skin

Remember the childhood warning phrase, “You are what you eat?”  At HelioPro, it’s not what you eat, but what you put on your skin. 

The skin, which is also the body’s largest organ, directly absorbs 60% of topical products into the bloodstream. With this in mind, it is ever so important to know what you put on your skin.

Skin is made up of three layers: the outer epidermis or stratum corneum (which is the skin's main defense), the middle dermis and the hypodermis. The rate and extent of absorption are determined by one's skin integrity, location of exposure and the chemical properties/concentration of the substance (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). 

Have no fear; we stand by “all natural performance.” That means, no chemical shortcuts. Through the determination of ten Bruce Lee’s, we have crafted Prepare and Recover from herbs to soothe soreness, massage soft-tissue and help ReLeaf your body from strenuous workouts.

While ingestion may be the most commonly known form of taking in nutrients, people often overlook the potential harm found in topical products. Unfortunately, it is the harmful ingredients such as benzophenone-3 (found in sunscreen) that penetrate the skin with greater efficiency (National Center for Biotechnology Information).

At HelioPro, our Prepare and Recover formulas are made from food grade herbs pure enough to eat (although not very tasty!), not chemical compounds. So become what you put on your skin with Prepare and Recover–healthy, all-natural workout warriors!
