If you think the hand
lotion you use is good for your skin, if you thin the makeup you
apply to your face is beneficial, if you think the body care
products you use have been tested for cancer causing chemicals,
you’re wrong.
The beauty and cosmetics industry is a non-regulated
industry. There are no federal regulations in place to protect the
consumer from exposure to toxic chemicals. There are many every day
products that contain chemicals that are designated and hazardous
chemicals.
Information on ingredients is not required by law and many toxic
chemical are hidden under the listing of “fragrance” or “coloring.”
If just one product contained a dangerous chemical it might not
be so devastating but when every product contains these chemicals
the toxic burden on the body is overwhelming. This booklet will
help you realize the massive amount of toxic chemicals our bodies
are exposed to in everyday use of personal care and beauty
products. There are some eye-opening statistics and a short list of
the most common toxic ingredients in this booklet. The intent of
this booklet is to help you, the consumer, to be more aware of the
cancer causing and toxic chemicals you are applying to your body and
your child’s. This information will empower you to make more
informed decisions about your health, and longevity. |
