Why should you be concerned about using products that contain these ingredients?
Current studies show that our bodies absorb about 80% of everything that is topically applied to our skin. It used to be thought that if you were not eating these items it did not effect you. Now we know that this is not true and these ingredients that can be found in our personal care products make their way inside of our bodies.
So what are you putting on and into your skin? The average teenager puts at least 17 items on their skin a day. Adults use an average of 12.
Why is this a problem? Some of these ingredients can disrupt the way your hormones interact and actually mimic hormones, which has been linked to cancer and reproductive issues. Some of these ingredients may also cause: nervous system damage, sever allergic reactions, hormonal acne, obesity, depression, brain damage and reproductive defects.
So if this is so dangerous why can stores sell these items? The USA has no regulations as to what is in skincare and cosmetic items.
