Unsettling Facts About What You're Putting On Your Face



In Europe, there are 1,373 chemicals banned from cosmetics. In the United States, there are 8. Formaldehyde, known to cause cancer in humans, can be found in nail polish, hair gel, shampoos, and lotions. Triclosan, which disrupts the body's natural hormone system, can be found in soaps, deodorants, and toothpaste. Parabens, found in breast cancer tumors, can be found in many lotions and ointments. In the USA, there are no laws that require cosmetic companies to demonstrate the safety of their products. Sources for this information include FDA.gov, BreastCancerFund.org, and USDA.gov.



Yes, the video is quite disturbing. We have to be proactive and read the ingredients in soaps, deodorants, and toothpaste. Better to be alive than sorry.

What do you think about this? Comments are always appreciated.

To your wealth!
