Caring for your skin with all-natural Thentix

By Mimi Vanderhaven

Last week, the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, an arm of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, announced the results of a pilot study involving the use of sunscreen.

The results: It took just one day of use for several common sunscreen ingredients to enter the bloodstream at levels high enough to trigger a government safety investigation. The four chemicals studied included avobenzone, oxybenzone, ecamsule and octocrylene.

That should come as no surprise. Pretty much anything we put on our skin is in every organ of our body in a matter of minutes. It’s called the “transdermal effect,” and it’s why hormone patches and nicotine patches are effective delivery mechanisms. It’s also why we were warned as kids not to play with liquid mercury, handle lead fishing weights, or wash oil-based paints off our hands with petroleum products.

So check the ingredients on your favorite skin moisturizer. Whatever is listed there is in your bloodstream. Thankfully, Mimi has discovered an alternative with an ingredients list so natural you could almost eat it.

John and Jalaine Mast, the husband-wife co-founders of Salt Creek Essentials, based in Millersburg, Ohio, were so impressed with an all-natural moisturizer called Thentix, that they decided to start their own company offering it. Although the product line has been popular in Canada for many years, it’s hard to find in the U.S.

“I’ve been using it morning and night for over 10 years,” Jalaine says. “And when the kids were little, we’d use it for sunburns, bug bites, and chapped lips. Thentix has been a big part of our family for so long, yet most people have never heard of it. So we thought, we gotta let people know about this.”

Now, the couple is mailing Thentix to relieved customers around the country—from Maine to California and Washington to West Virginia—and the testimonials keep pouring in:

“I had a rash that would not go away. I was prescribed 2 different creams from the doctor that did not work. I used Thentix and after the second day it was 90% gone…”

“I have always had cracked feet in the winter. My friends always asked me why my feet were all taped up, but no more. Since I’ve been applying Thentix, my feet have never been this nice…”

“My husband has had a patch of dry skin on his side for over four months. We’ve gone through bottles of [different] creams and nothing worked. We used Thentix for three evenings in a row and this morning it was gone.”

Customers also report reduced symptoms of common conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

“The ingredients list is so comprehensive that Thentix can help many conditions,” John explains. “Yet because it’s all-natural, there are no harmful side effects. The only side effect is that your skin is going to feel softer.”

Thentix is completely fragrance-free so it smells like, well, nothing. That means you aren’t walking around smelling like a medicine cabinet—or cheap perfume.

Jalaine and John also offer Thentix shampoo, conditioner, lip balm and a muscle and joint formula. But you can’t find it in any store; you can only purchase it at their website, SaltCreekEssentials.com.
