When I read in the gossip columns that "Eminem brushes his teeth with pest spray," I thought for a moment he'd started to mix his own chemical-free cleaner- baking soda can both clean your teeth and repel bugs-, but it turns out he has joined the ranks of other celebrities like Sandra Bullock, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu who believe in the magic of the 18-uses-in-one natural soap Dr. Bronner's. "Eminem is obsessed with the soap", a source divulged, "He can't believe he is able to clean his teeth and his body with the same product while he is showering." Besides it's reputed effectiveness for cleaning both body and home, it's also touted as a deodorant, shaving foam and mouth wash so apparently Eminem has now eliminated all other toiletries.
The rapper doesn't have a rep for being a greenie- the only reference I could find to him being natural was when he gave up his chemically-created blond hair-, so I was curious what would inspire this move. I called my only friend who knows Eminem, Planet Green host SuChin Pak, who also happens to wash her hair with her floor cleaner.
"I'm shocked that Eminem brushes his teeth with that," said the MTV veteran who has interviewed the performer numerous times. "It's so surprising but I also think Eminem is the type of person who's kind of danced to the beat of his own drum. He's just used to doing things that not everybody gets. He's a first in a lot of ways just in general in his career. You know it wouldn't surprise me that he's the guy who is suddenly embracing some sort of healthier lifestyle."
What makes Dr. Bronner's- and other more "natural" brands- healthier are the ingredients left out. Most conventional soaps and shampoos contain potential endocrine-disruptors like parabens (used as preservatives), phthlates (often disguised as "fragrance") and triclosan (also found as a plaque-fighter in toothpaste) and potential carcinogens like diethanolamine (DEA) and triethanolamine (TEA).
wtf is that true?
