Facts about the skin cosmetics and safe
Here are ten
facts that everyone over the skin and need to know how and why the skin all
day, with safe cosmetic products needs to be treated.
Fact: the skin is
the largest organ of the body.
Fact: women, on
average, over 5 lbs of lotions and creams on their skin every year of
application.
Fact: there are
more than 10,500 chemicals used in the manufacture of cosmetic products;
Fact: many of
these ingredients are toxic (poisonous);
Fact: some of
these toxic ingredients are directly linked to cancer, birth defects,
respiratory problems, liver and kidney disease and many more.
Fact: recent
clinical studies on pregnant women showed the same toxins at the same level in
the blood of the fetus and enter through the umbilical cord.
Fact: the
European Union (EU) has banned for more than 1,100 toxic ingredients in the

Yes, skin is the
largest organ of the body and it is also very porous. There are direct
absorption and absorption is not filtered by the liver or kidney disease. It
bypasses these organs and the proof is found in the form of patches as patches
to nicotine and other medicated patches that are so effective. The skin is
indeed, gateway unfiltered into the bloodstream.
Much of that is placed on the skin is toxic and even though we know
Much of that is
placed on the skin is toxic and even though we know, thanks to the scientific
studies, which can by 50-70% and will be absorbed by the body, the cosmetic industry
claims that the small risks on these toxic ingredients cause no damage. In
fact, they say that it is safe to use of toxic chemicals and (GIF) to cancer,
infertility, birth defects and other health related problems, because the
quantity of each product is so small. No one uses that a product in a single
day and nobody knows the cumulative effect when these toxic ingredients have
been used for decades. Just think products are used every day, toothpaste,
SOAP, shampoo, deodorant, lotions for the body, shaving creams, cleansers,
moisturizers and the list goes on and on. This be each person hundreds of these
toxic chemicals everyday and this will have a negative effect over time.
Of the 10,500
ingredients in cosmetics, are just 11% tested for safety and this over a period
of 30 years of self-control. The cosmetic industry is self-regulated. There is
no government agency that products, before or after marketing tests. Forty-five
percent contain ingredients which can affect the reproductive system and the development
of a child. Sixty percent of the products contain chemicals that can disrupt
hormones. All of this information is located on the website of the campaign for
safe cosmetics.
3,766 were toxic;
2,376 were
connected to the irritation of the skin and eyes;
3,314 can cause
biological mutations;
4,778 chemicals
to the acute toxicity; related
5.214 may affect
the reproductive system.
There is a
chemical called 1,4-dioxane. It is carcinogenic and the Environmental Working
Group, an organization of lawyer dedicated to the protection of the health of
consumers and workers by requiring the industry CLU.
How a ensures
itself the use of safe cosmetics? A short and concise answer would be, if you
don't, why you would drink poison POISON on the largest organ of the body and
gateway accredited in the bloodstream would use? Well, scientists like to admit
that they know very little about what he repeated exposure to small amounts of
toxic materials in cosmetic products can do to the human body. However, what
they know that in studies on rodents, phthalates (synthetic fragrances found in
a large percentage of cosmetics), testicular lesions of the liver and liver
cancer causes. Phthalates are also carcinogenic, allergenic and toxic, with the
highest level of toxicity of 10, recommended by the cosmetic database, the
largest database of cosmetic ingredients in the world.
The European
Union banned phthalates with more than 1,100 other toxic ingredients in
cosmetic products if they want to be sold in Europe.
The solution is for every consumer, because the Government does not regulate
this industry. The ingredients should check before they buy, and a very simple
step that anyone can take is to a permission labels and logos on cosmetic
products. The cosmetics industry is over 50 billion very large, and very
profitable and everyone should remember that a very large percentage of the
money spent by the manufacturer will be in packaging and marketing, while a few
pennies to go into the product itself. In the cosmetic product really organic
and/or natural is exactly the opposite is true. Big dollars go to research,
development and production, while very little is in packaging and marketing. To
check if this look only on the packaging of famous product relative to the
packaging of a truly organic product of the brand.
