Body and Beauty Products
Do you know what’s hidden in your everyday beauty products?. Because what we place on our bodies gets absorbed directly into our skin and do not have the benefit of being broken down by our saliva and stomach acid, they can be even more harmful to our systems then foods contaminated with pesticides. Often our bodies don’t know what to do with these harmful toxins, so it sticks them in places they don’t belong like our lymph nodes, fat cells, breast milk, or they get stuck in our organs. Many of these caustic and cancer causing ingredients accumulate silently in our bodies and we don’t know they exist until concerns arise. Yuck! I don’t think we want this. Here is the list of the toxins known as the Dirty Dozen of beauty products, so you too can be on the look out for them. Do be aware that manufacturers are on to us and they are working hard to hide these chemicals from us, such as diethyl phthalate is commonly named as fragrance.
12 toxic and carcinogenic ingredients:
