Feild of lies… cosmetics industry coverup!
By Dani Walker
This is outrageous! Why are there over 1200 banned in Europe and only 12 in the U.S?
Scientific studies have found that teenage girls have on average 13 different hormone altering chemicals in her body – ALL found in personal care products like, make up, shampoo & toothpaste! http://www.ewg.org/reports/teens
Reach into your purse right now and pull out your lipstick – it contains around 29 different harmful chemicals! Even those that claim to be organic are not safe. Must I say… If you don’t buy it, they won’t make it!!! You have the power, now use it! Buy safe, build sustainability & de-toxify your bathroom.
Things like :
Hexane: The Material Safety Data Sheet on Hexane reports that it’s severely flammable and life threatening. It is commonly used in the cosmetics industry as a base in perfumes. Upon inhalation, it irritates the respiratory track and may cause lightheartedness, nausea, headache and blurred vision. Long-term overexposure can cause muscle weakness, numbness of the extremities, unconsciousness and even death.
Mercury: has a level 4 health rating, meaning it is an extremely threatening chemical. Mercury is a known brain toxin and upon ingestion it can cause renal failure leading to death. Chronic exposure can lead to memory loss, behavior changes, digestive disorder, and brain and kidney damage. In addition to being an ingredient in most vaccines(under the trade name Thimerosal), it is also found in mascara, eye liners and skin-lightening creams.
& 100’s more.
Beauty SHOULD only be skin deep when it comes to cosmetics! This is exactly why my family and friends use SISEL’s personal care products. No BPA’s in the packaging! All minerals are stripped of heavy metals like lead and cadmium BEFORE used in their Timeless Mineral Makeup line & they quarantine and test all raw ingredients before using them in formulations.
