Organic
Cosmetics Guide
wants to get under your skin about cosmetics!
You want
all natural
cosmetics. Safe, non-toxic
cosmetics with no cancer-causing ingredients. That's a healthy concern,
a given for yourself and for your family.
What's not
a given though,
is whether the cosmetics
you're using at present are 100% organic. Did you know? They may not be
even twenty percent organic!
If your
cosmetics are
commercially produced, name
brand
mainly, they most likely contain toxic chemicals. Questionable ingredients.
Ingredients
that are
being proven daily to be a
cause
of human cancers...
Among Others
Whenever
you talk about the subject of organic cosmetics, one of the first
logical questions that should be asked is: What's in them? You may not
be aware of the fact that many cosmetics manufacturers use ingredients
that are not safe for long-term use.
Maybe not even for short term use!
Why
do they do that? you might ask. Well, firstly it's because they can,
and secondly because it's profitable. As long as they can delay the
Food and Drug Administration
from investigating their products' safety, they will continue to use a
certain ingredient, regardless of whether or not it might be unsafe or
a cancer-causing ingredient.
They are dedicated to profits, not accountability.
Here's a short list of some of the ingredients used in your cosmetics:
Phenols (carbolic acid)
Used in shaving creams and hand lotions Fatal poisoning can occur through skin aborption
Isopropyl Alcohol (isopropanol)
Used in hair-color rinses, body rubs, hand lotions, after-shave lotions, and many other cosmetics Ingestion or inhalation of large quantities of the vapor may cause flushing, headache, dizziness, mental depression, nausea, vomiting, narcosis, anesthesia, and coma
Beta-naphthol
Used in hair dyes, skin-peeling preparations, hair tonics, and perfumes Fatal poisoning from external applications has been reported
Benzene
Used in nail polish removers Harmful amounts may be absorbed through the skin. Evidence is mounting that it also causes leukemia
Aniline / Dyes
The most commonly used organic base for dyes It is toxic when ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin
Quartenary Ammonium Compounds
Used in aerosol deoderants, after-shave lotions, antidandruff shampoos, antiperspirants, cuticle softeners, hair colorings, hair-grooming aids, hand creams, hair-waving preparations, mouth-washes, hand creams and regular shampoos All the quartenary ammonium compounds can be toxic, depending upon the dose and concentration
Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHA)
Used primarily in skin peels by professionals AHA' s can increase sensitivity to sunburns and subsequently, skin cancer
No doubt
about it, the
"cover girl" cosmetics
philosophy
is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
Some of the cosmetics
companies are being dragged "kicking and screaming" into the 21st
century.
All for the
betterment of
your health.
