We are very worried about what we put in our mouth on a daily basis… everything from food, drink and chemicals that we breathe in. Is it Organic? Is it processed?
But what are you putting on your skin? Do you have any idea of the type of chemicals that are penetrating into your body through your skin? Have you ever taken a look at the chemicals that are in your cosmetics? your toothpaste? your perfume?
Take a look at this list below and see if any of your products contain these chemicals and what hazardous effects they have on your body…
1. Aluminum – Carcinogen, developmental/reproductive toxicity, industry safety warnings, irritants, and other dangers.
2. Benzyl Alcohol – Carcinogen, allergens, developmental/reproductive toxicity, industry safety warnings, irritants, and other dangers.
3. BHT – Carcinogen, allergen, developmental/reproductive toxicity, irritant, and other dangers.
4. Formaldehyde – Carcinogen, allergens, developmental/reproductive toxicity, industry safety warnings, and irritants.
5. Hydroquinone – Carcinogen, allergens, developmental/reproductive toxicity, industry safety warnings, irritants, and other dangers.
6. P -Phenylendediamine – Carcinogen, allergens, developmental/reproductive toxicity, industry safety warnings, irritants, and other dangers.

9. Phthalates ( dibutyl & diethylhexyl have been band in EU but not the US or Canada) – Carcinogen, allergens, developmental/reproductive toxicity, industry safety warnings, and other dangers.
10. Propylene gylcol (PG) – found in atifreeze! Carcinogen, allergens, developmental/reproductive toxicity, industry safety warnings, irritants, and other dangers.
11. Silica – Carcinogen, allergens, and other dangers.

You may ask what you should use because all of your products contain at least one of these toxins. Take a look at the products that are at health food stores, they usually don’t have these chemicals in them. For facial care, I use a product called Glimpse that has all natural ingredients.
