The Department of Health reports that one in 13 Filipino women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. The good news is, with early detection, breast cancer also has one of the highest survival rates.
MammoMe Natural Body Wash from Human Nature helps women include breast care in their routine by placing a step-by-step breast self-exam (BSE) reminder in the most ideal place for it: the shower.
Each bottle of MammoMe features a three-step BSE: Look—examine your breasts in the mirror for any irregularities in appearance; Lift—raise one arm above your head and cup your breast in the other hand; and Feel—gently probe your breast by moving your fingers in gentle but firm circular motions from the outer edge of the breast inwards. Repeat with the other breast
Human Nature is Philippines’s largest genuinely natural personal care, cosmetics and home-care brand. It is operated by social enterprise Gandang Kalikasan Inc. (GKI). It abides by standards set by the US Natural Products Association—it uses all-natural ingredients that are safe, pure and biodegradable; and come from renewable resources.
“Human Nature’s products, like MammoMe Natural Body Wash and the 100 percent Natural Premium Deodorant are free from ingredients that have been linked to breast cancer such as phthalates, parabens, aluminum compounds, and triclosan,” explains Marru Crisologo, Human Nature’s category manager for body care.
Human Nature has partnered with the Philippine Foundation for Breast Care Inc., (Kasuso Foundation) to help more women beat breast cancer. In the Philippines, Kasuso Foundation is the only advocate and support group that operates and manages a breast care facility in a public hospital.
“We have three clinic days to serve a minimum of 110 patients per week,” shares Maria Lourdes Cortez, president of Kasuso Foundation. Cortez adds that they serve mainly indigent patients. Each bottle of MammoMe sold helps Kasuso Foundation care for more patients.
Kasuso Foundation also has a Breast Cancer Advocate Training Course for barangay health workers and committed individuals.
