The ingredients we put on our bodies, every day!
BAR SOAP - Soap has a PH of 9, which removes the protective acid mantle of the skin making it more alkaline and therefore more vulnerable to penetration. It also contains Ammonia, Formaldehyde and Phenol, known carcinogens and triclo-carbons.
SHAMPOO - Shampoo contains Cocomide DEA, which is associated with carcinogenic Nitrosamines and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, a known mutagen.
HAIR TINT - Hair tint contains Quaternium-15, which releases carcinogenic Formaldehyde and the carcinogen Phenylenediamine. HAIR CONDITIONER - contains DEA and Propylene Glycol both known as Mutagenic Carcinogens.
SHAVING CREAM - contains DEA and A-Pinene, a chemical that damages the immune system.
BODY LOTION - contains Mineral Oil, which as a cosmetic grade petroleum product, includes the contaminant Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PHAs) known as xenoestrogens that can mimic Estrogen in the body.
DUSTING POWDER - contains Talc, a substance like Asbestos. When Talc was combined with a common air pollutant, Benzo-A-Pyrene, induced tumours in 80% of the animals tested. Many scientists believe talc should be placed on the ‘known carcinogens' list.
DEODORANT - contains Aluminium, which is being tested in connection to Alzheimer's disease and more recently Breast Cancer.
TOOTHPASTE - contains Saccharin and FD&C Blue No. 1, which are carcinogens. It also contains Resorcinol, which can cause a blood disorder (methemoglobinemia), convulsions and even death. Fluoride is also a known carcinogen.
MOUTHWASH - contains 27% Ethanol, which is suspected of causing oesophageal cancer. It also contains Phenol, which can cause fatal poisoning through skin absorption.HAIR SPRAY - contains Polyvinyl Pyrrolidine (PVP) and reports show that it may cause harm if the particles are inhaled. Modest intravenous doses fed to rats caused tumours.
SKIN MOISTURISER - contains Phenol Carbolic Acid, which can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions and death as a result of respiratory failure. Also contains PEG-40 which has dangerous levels of Dioxin and Propylene Glycol. Studies show these can negatively alter brain waves and cause liver and kidney disorders.
BLUSHER - contains FD&C Red No. 3 which caused human breast cells to grow, mimics the effect of natural oestrogen at the molecular level and damages the genetic material of human breast cells.
EYELINER - contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, and studies suggest that the palmitates are to be considered carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic or toxic.
MASCARA - may be contaminated with Bacteria. It also contains Polyvinyl Pyrrolidine (PVP), a carcinogen.
LIPSTICK - contains paraffin, which is a mixture of Hydrocarbons and is derived from Petroleum. It is known to be contaminated with the carcinogens, Benzo-A-Pyrene and Benzo-B-Fluoroanthene.
SUNSCREEN - contains Padimate O and the preservative BNPD, which together, create the carcinogenic nitrosamine NMP ABAO.
PERFUME - contains Toluene, a suspected potent carcinogen that was found in every fragrance tested, and Benzaldehyde, which is a central nervous system depressant that may also cause kidney damage.
