Did you know your skin absorbs 60 percent of what you put on it?
According to the American public and environment health organization Environmental Working Group, on an average day women use 12 personal care products and men use six, exposing their precious skin to more than 80 different chemical-based ingredients.
Your skin is your body's largest organ, which absorbs anything you put onto it. Naturally, it makes sense to be careful about what you put on your skin.
Top five worst chemicals in skincare creams:
1. Parabens (Ethyl-, Methyl-, Propyl-, Isopropyl-, Butyl-, and Isobutylparabens). Synthetic preservative.
What it does: Lowers sperm counts in men. Estrogen imitator which can lead to reproductive problems.
2. Artificial fragrances (phthalates, petrochemicals, benzene, toluene, xylene, methanol).
What it does: Has carcinogenic properties. Your best option is to use products with essential plant/flower oils.
3. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) Synthetic preservative.
What it does: Banned by the European Union it can cause allergic reactions and skin rashes while being carcinogenic. A common ingredient in skin lightening products.
4. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) Industrial antifreeze.
What it does: Has carcinogenic properties. Strips the skin of its protective sebum and other oils.
5. Sodium Lauryl and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) Garage floor cleansers.
What it does: Skin irritants, hormone disruptors and suspected carcinogens that may cause genetic mutation. Your body is not designed to remove these toxins from tissue once they are absorbed, so these toxins will stay in your system for a long, long time.
If you want to live naturally and slow down the aging process, why would you use biologically dead, toxic, non-life-giving chemicals on your absorbable living skin?
