Organic Cosmetics Guide

Your skin is the largest organ in your body--take care of it organically!


Think Organic

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-naphtholUsed in hair dyes, skin-peeling preparations, hair tonics, and perfumes
Fatal poisoning from external applications has been reported
BenzeneUsed in nail polish removers
Harmful amounts may be absorbed through the skin.
Evidence is mounting that it also causes leukemia
Aniline / DyesThe most commonly used organic base for dyes
It is toxic when ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin
Quartenary Ammonium CompoundsUsed 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
