subject: Toxic Skincare - 7 Ingredients to Watch Out For! [print this page] Did you know that many of the products in you bathroom may be toxic skincare products? Most regular skin creams, lotions and cleansers actually contain more or less toxic ingredients. Do you know what to watch out for in the list of ingredients?
Toxic skincare products do not always give immediate side effects like rashes or other allergic reactions. Mostly they get absorbed slowly by your skin over time and get deeper into the body where they may end up in organs. Inside your body the toxic ingredients may cause things like cancer, hormonal disturbance and organ damage.
1. Dioxane - It usually contains a lot of 1,4-dioxane, which by the state of California in USA, is a chemical considered to cause cancer.
2. DEA,TEA & MEA - These are restricted in Europe because of their known carcinogenic effects.
3. Mineral Oil - It can be contaminated with cancer causing Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and can also promote premature skin aging.
4. Synthetic Alcohols - They are very drying to the skin and can make it vulnerable to bacteria, mold and viruses.
5. Acrylamide - Studies suggest this chemical may cause breast tumors.
6. Polyethylene Glycol - It is a suspected carcinogenic, used in skin care products as emulsifier.
7. Fragrances - This term can refer to over four thousand different ingredients whereof many are toxic and carcinogenic.
The easiest way to avoid the whole list of toxic skincare ingredients is to choose all natural products. But don't get fooled by all the fake natural products that only use words like natural, organic, pure, and from nature on their labels to sell more. Find real natural products that dare to list all of their ingredients and show you what's really in there.
