Heres a excerpt from an article I read today.. Toxic Beauty Most people use personal care products on a daily basis. We are on a quest to smell good, have shiny hair and moist skin. But something nasty lurks beneath the sweet perfume and bubbles. Cosmetic companies are using chemicals that are known to cause cancer and birth defects, and there are no regulations in place to control the amount of toxins that are entering our bodies. The quest for beauty may lead us to death. Personal care products do not need approval from the FDA before reaching the shelves at your local Walgreens. A study done by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health lists 884 chemicals in use by the cosmetic industry as toxic substances. But according to the FDA, cosmetic companies are responsible for testing their own products to insure safety, and they dont have to file data on the ingredients they use. We have no idea what these chemicals do when they interact in our body, says Judi Shils of the Marin Cancer Project. It is a toxic soup. This harsh mix of chemicals is something Caroline Butterworth knows about on a personal level. A bubbly, athletic woman in her late 30s, Butterworth takes pride in being healthy. She runs on a regular basis and buys organic vegetables. She wears sunscreen every day. That is, she used to wear sunscreen every day, until it gave her a rash that spread around her mouth, cracking the skin and making it ooze. When she began to read about the possible causes of her skin problem, Butterworth quit using products with toxic chemicals. I know six people under the age of 40 who have cancer, Butterworth says. Petroleum jelly is OIL. Mineral oil is OIL. It is chemical warfare on your face. She now uses products made by the Neways International, which lists all its ingredients and uses natural additives whenever possible. Only 11 percent of the 10,500 ingredients in use by cosmetic companies have gone through testing to determine possible health risks. The European Union recently put a ban on using 450 chemicals found in personal care products. The combination of certain chemicals has been found to be carcinogenic, but there have been no long-term studies done by the FDA or the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association to see what these chemicals do to our health. Remember the baby pigs and huge toads floating in big glass jars in eighth-grade science class? Most likely the fluid preserving them was formaldehyde, which is added to deodorant and nail polish. Is your skin feeling tight and dry today because you ran out of lotion? Next time just go out to the garage and grab some antifreeze. Cosmetic manufacturers add it to many skin lotions and shaving creams, so it must have soothing qualities! The truth is no one knows how these chemicals interact after they soak into your skin. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has been working since 2001 to eliminate toxins from beauty products. They have been asking companies to remove the ingredients that were banned in Europe from American products. safecosmetics.org Over 300 companies have signed on to the campaign, promising to get rid of controversial ingredients. LOreal, Revlon and Unilever are removing the chemicals that fall under the EU ban. One Bay Area company, Avalon, has made a larger commitment to consumer health. Mary Kay, Arbonne, Melaleuca, Nu Skin, Avon, will NOT sign the pact. Wonder why? Renu 28 is completely safe with ZERO toxicity Zero chemicals.. The coveted Dermatest 5 stars as well.
