 Mass marketed personal care products may contain ingredients that are
suspected of causing cancer or may have negative neurological, liver or
immune system impacts as well as potentially causing birth defects and
hormonal problems. Labels with words such as "Hypoallergenic",
"Fragrance-Free" and "Pure" are not regulated and provide no assurance
that a personal care product has no synthetic chemicals that can can be
harmful.
- The Health Facts
- Exposure to personal
care product chemicals comes from dermal absorption and
inhalation and many of these chemicals remain in the
body for life. The Environmental Working Group (EWG)
helps to expose the health and safety of the Cosmetic,
Toiletry and Fragrance Industry (CTFI) and the personal
care products we use every day. The Environmental
Working Group publishes a searchable database of
products and ingredients called "Skin Deep" to help you
find out what is in the products you use now and learn
about potentially harmful ingredients. Click here to
visit the
EWG Skin
Deep website of personal care products and information.
Some key information provided by the Environmental
Working Group on personal care products:
-
A consumer survey of over 2,300
people conducted in 2004 by EWG on the use of personal care
products found the average adult uses 9 personal care
products daily, exposing them to 126 unique chemicals
everyday. More than 25% of all women use at least 15
products daily. One in 13 women and one in 23 men are
exposed daily to ingredients that are known or probable
human carcinogens and one in 24 women are exposed daily to
ingredients that are known or probable reproductive and
developmental toxins.
-
89% of the 10,500 ingredients
used in personal care products have not been evaluated for
safety by the FDA or other publicly accountable institution.
-
In the last 30 years, only 9 of
the 10,500 ingredients have been banned or restricted.
-
99% of all personal care
products have one or more ingredients that have not been
publicly assessed for safety by the cosmetic industry or the
FDA.
-
In 2005, the US Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) responded to a cosmetic safety petition
put forth by the Environmental Working Group. The FDA
response indicated they do not ensure the safety of personal
care products before they are sold or require premarket
safety testing of the product's ingredients. The FDA
states that they do not have guidelines and safety standards
for the personal care industry and leaves it to product
manufacturers to determine what is safe enough for consumer
use.
-
The Environmental Working Group
(EWG) examined ingredients in 7,500 personal care products
and found that 1 in 100 contain ingredients classified by
the US government as known human carcinogens and one third
of all products had one or more ingredients classified as
possible human carcinogens.
- Read the Labels
- Many personal care companies claim to be
"Natural" or use "Organic" ingredients. Most often these companies use a
few healthy ingredients mixed in with synthetic chemical and petroleum
based colors, fragrances and preservatives so they can call their product natural based.
So much is still unknown about the safety and
long term health impact of repeated exposure to synthetic
chemicals used in personal care products. It is impossible to
test the safety of every possible combination of chemicals used
in the variety of personal care products we use every day. If
you want to know if the products you are using are safe and
truly "natural", read the ingredients. Personal care
products can be made without the use of synthetic and petroleum
based ingredients.
- Two common classes of
synthetic petrochemicals found in many "natural" and
"Organic" products.
-
Petroleum Based
Preservatives - most commonly found in the form of "parabens"
such as methyl paraben, propylparaben and butylparaben,
exist in many "natural" and "organic" personal care
products. These synthetic chemicals are used as
preservatives and pose health risks such as increased
breast cancer risks, potential endocrine disruptor that
can impair fertility or development and skin sensitizer
to cause burning, itching, scaling and blistering of the
skin.
-
Petroleum Surfactants
- used as foaming or wetting agents to create lather and
most commonly found as sodium lauryl sulfate and
propylene glycol. Another common petroleum surfactant is
cocamidopropyl betaine, which many companies indicate as
derived by coconut oil, but uses petrochemicals to
manufacture. Health risks include skin sensitizer to
cause burning, itching, scaling and blistering of the
skin, penetration enhancer to alter the skin structure
allowing chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin
potentially increasing the amounts of other chemicals
reaching the bloodstream and may have harmful impurities
or breakdown to form toxic chemicals linked to cancer.
- Natural and Organic is Better
- Our skin care products do
not contain artificial fragrances, petrochemicals or other potentially harmful
ingredients like phthalates, formaldehyde, paraben preservatives or petrochemical detergents such
as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), cocamidopropyl betaine or olefin
sulfonate, that can be irritating or unhealthy to your sensitive
skin. Our mild, all
natural and Organic products are 100% synthetic free and custom formulated to be an
effective healthy alternative to synthetic chemical products. The proof is in the ingredients!
- Making a shift toward
natural and Organic purchasing will have a major beneficial impact on all of
us by reducing toxic chemical human exposure and pollution to
our air, water, food and land. It also reduces the demand for
petroleum resources through crop and product manufacturing. Organic crop production is based
on a system of farming that doesn't use toxic synthetic
fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides to replenish and
maintain soil fertility. Supporting
Organic agriculture means toxic synthetic pesticide exposure can be reduced in
our families and in our environment. It also helps to create a market
transformation in which higher demand reduces costs and provides
finished goods through more mainstream sources.
-
Organic Farming
-
No synthetic pesticides,
fertilizers, irradiation, sewage sludge or genetic
engineering were used for the previous three years.
-
Farmers use beneficial
insects that are natural predators to pests, improve the
soil through the use of organic compost and crop rotation
and pull weeds mechanically or physically.
-
Reduced soil erosion,
retention of soil nutrients and no contamination from toxic
pesticide use that can remain persistent in our environment.
Costs of Personal Care Products:
-
The Purchase Cost
- this is the cost you pay for your product at the retail outlet.
-
The Environmental Cost
- this is the cost you don't see when purchasing the product. There
is a real financial cost and a personal cost associated with the use
and exposure to toxic chemicals. The financial impacts may be
through increased health care costs or through toxic waste cleanup
and treatment of our air, water and land. Personal health costs are more
devastating such as those from disease, birth defects and changes to
our wildlife.

For Dry
or Dehydrated Skin
Diagnosis - tight, rough to the touch and possibly flaky with no
noticeable moisture. Can be caused by the weather, topical
products, medicines, caffeine and alcohol (diuretics) or not
drinking enough water. Using products that are too harsh and
strip the skin of natural oils is also a cause of dry skin.
Treatment - extra care is needed because of the lack of normal
levels of protecting Sebum. Products that stimulate the
sebaceous glands to produce more Sebum as well as add
moisturizing ingredients are needed. The products should have
both hydrating and emollient properties to draw water into the
skin and keep it there. A moderate amount of exfoliation is
needed to return smoothness to the skin. Cleansers should be
gentle and non-stripping of natural oils.
