Regrettably, harmful chemicals are easily absorbed by our skin, entering various tissues in our bodies and causing illness. I created a user-friendly chart for my clients, listing harmful chemicals in the left column and the corresponding products containing them marked with an X in the rows.
These ingredients may cause:
Aluminum Salts: Alzheimer's Disease, Autism, Breast Cancer
Formaldehyde: Cancer
Fragrances: Hormone Disrupters, Allergens
Hydroquinone: Cancer cell growth
Oxybenzone: Interfere with the Body Endocrine System
Parabens(methyl and propyl): as a preservative in cosmetics, Breast Cancer by mimicking estrogen
Phthalates: interfere with the Body's Endocrine System
Triclosan: Cancer cell growth, Endocrine Disruption,
Endocrine disruptors interfere with the production of testosterone in males, which results in a higher concentration of estrogen and a lower concentration of testosterone in their bodies. Man develops low sperm counts, and women breast cancer. (Human health and Toxicology)
I say no to these chemicals/poisonous products; instead, I choose natural organic ones.
I Believe in:
Organic, Natural, Biodynamic®, Sustainable, and Cruelty-Free
