Health or Harm

HEALTH OR HARM

Although I am mostly a positive forward individual, we must be made aware of the dangers that are in our skincare products. And although negative, there is a solution.

Studies reveal that every single one of us is contaminated with scores of synthetic chemicalsnthat are known to be toxic.

In a 2005 Skin Deep report, research found that 33% of personal care products were linked toncancer, 45% were found as possibly harmful to the reproductive system or baby’s developmentnand 60% could act like estrogens or disrupt hormones.

Toxic chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and learning disabilities do not belong in productsnwe use on our bodies.

Once again it leads to the regulation or lack thereof on the cosmetics industry. This industry is self-regulated and in my view is looking out for the bottom line and not for our safety.
