What Chemicals Are In Makeup

Let’s talk about our skin! Did you know your skin is the LARGEST organ of your body? Yep, so everything you are putting onto your skin is absorbed in your bloodstream. All the chemicals found in commercial soaps, body wash, lotions, creams, face and body moisturizers, hair products, make-up removers, lipsticks and even the products used to clean your home are all absorbed into your bloodstream. You see, the body cannot breakdown chemicals because they are not made to be digested by the body. Ultimately, this causes health issues or ailments for many people due to chemical buildup in the body. On the other hand, when using natural plant based ingredients, the body naturally pulls all nutrients and benefits from the ingredients, which the body can easily breakdown because this is what the body is designed to do. So, in simple terms, natural plant based ingredients are created for your skin.

 

The following are some chemicals known as parabens. They are widely found and used as preservatives in personal care, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries:

• Methylparaben (methyl)
• Propylparaben (propyl)
• IIsoparaben
• Butylparaben (butyl)

Parabens are a group of chemicals used to extend shelf life and due to its low cost is why most commercial companies use them to preserve products. Unfortunately, these chemicals are all linked to CANCER.

Here are a few more chemicals found in personal care products you SHOULD stay away from: 

• Propylene Glycol is an industrial anti-freeze and the major ingredient in brake and hydraulic fluid. According to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) on Propylene Glycol warn to avoid skin contact as it is systemic and can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage.

• Petroleum/Mineral Oil (by product of gas) comes from crude oil used in the industry as metal cutting fluid.  This chemical may suffocate the skin by forming an oil film (clogging your pores). Healthy skin needs to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLE) are surfactant/detergent cleansing agent, which cause irritations to the skin.

The question lately has been “Why is there a high increase in CANCER”…well think about the chemicals you are putting onto your skin and ultimately entering your bloodstream!

 

Don’t take my word for it…please do your own make up research on harmful chemicals in products you are using and the harm they are causing.
