Always Avoid Potential Toxins in Skin Care…
Many people, even those who select organic foods to eat, choose skin care products that can do serious damage to their skin. I’m not suggesting you’d intentionally apply toxins to your skin. You simply may not realize the extent to which many common skin care products contain suspect ingredients with unrecognizable or unpronounceable names. Do you ever put things onto your skin that you wouldn’t think of eating? I hope not...
I believe that what you put on your skin is absorbed into your bloodstream and integrated into your body’s tissues. A number of these potential toxins can wreak havoc on all your good health intentions.

Why Do So Many Skin Care Products Use These Potentially Hazardous Ingredients?
Simple answer: because they’re cheap, readily available, and easy to dilute.
Are they in the products you currently use? It’s time to check. Go grab your containers of skin care products and check them against the following …
| |
|
|
| Parabens |
Heavily used preservatives in the cosmetic industry; used in an estimated 13,200 cosmetic and skin care products. |
Studies implicate their connection with cancer because their hormone-disrupting qualities mimic estrogen and could disrupt your body’s endocrine system. |
| Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum |
|
These petroleum products coat the skin like plastic – clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins. They can slow cellular development, creating earlier signs of aging. They’re implicated as a suspected cause of cancer. Plus, they can disrupt hormonal activity. When you think about black oil pumped from deep underground, ask yourself why you’d want to put that kind of stuff on your skin…
|
| Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) |
Found in over 90% of personal care products! They break down your skin’s moisture barrier, potentially leading to dry skin and premature ageing. And because they easily penetrate your skin, they can allow other chemicals easy access.
|
SLS combined with other chemicals may become a "nitrosamine" – a potent carcinogen. |
|
Acrylamide
|
Found in many facial creams.
|
Linked to mammary tumors.
|
|
Propylene glycol
|
Common cosmetic moisturiser and carrier for fragrance oils.
|
May cause dermatitis and skin irritation. May inhibit skin cell growth. Linked to kidney and liver problems.
|
|
Phenol carbolic acid
|
Found in many lotions and skin creams.
|
Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma, and even death from respiratory failure.
|
| Dioxane |
Hidden in ingredients such as PEG, polysorbates, laureth, ethoxylated alcohols. Very common in personal care products. |
These chemicals are often contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane that’s easily absorbed through the skin. Its carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965, and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages are considered extremely vulnerable, making it, in my opinion, a really bad idea to use these things on your face.
|
| Toluene |
May be very poisonous! Made from petroleum and coal tar… found in most synthetic fragrances.
|
Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage…May affect a developing fetus.

So, having read the above, do you really think it’s OK to put these things on your skin?
No?
I don’t think so either. Use gentle and safe Natural Skin Care Products whenever possible. Your skin absorbs it all. Don’t compromise your health and the health of your skin by using potential poisons.
