If you knew your body lotion as well as your lip gloss, lipstick, lip liner and eye shadow as well as some of your packaged foods contained this ingredient, would you use and consume it? Most likely, not… The problem is we simply dont know and we assume incorrectly that ingredients would not be included in foods and/or our products if they werent safe. The challenge there is that the cosmetics industry is unregulated and the very people who produce the chemicals re the ones who say whether they are safe to use… or not…. So the ingredient BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) that is found in the above mentioned products is banned in the EU as a fragrance ingredient (one of thousands of ingredients in fragrance we might add!). BHA is petroleum derived and prepared from p-methoxyphenol and isobutane. Its potential effects as extracted from Bill Stathams The Chemical Maze are: Chronic urticaria (nettle rash and hives). It is a recognised carcinogen. Suspected respiratory, liver, endocrine, immuno and neurotoxicity. It is a wildlife and environmental toxin and you are putting on your skin when you use body lotions and skin moisturisers as well as some makeup products. Make the switch to safer products beautiful people and reap the rewards. Our Moisturising Hand and Body Lotion not only doesnt contain the nasty chemicals found in conventional products (and the above is just one of them!) but is is also so concentrated and full of antioxidants and nutrient-rich ingredients that support, not hinder the body. With love and gratitude Your Divine team xx
