toxic chemicals to avoid in skin care products

Did you know that many countries have banned the use of some of the most common ingredients used in the US by cosmetic manufacturers?

The European Union for example, has banned over 1,300 chemicals that have been link to cancer, infertility, leaning disabilities and other related issues. The US has only banned 11.

What's even crazier is that more than 80% of ingredients used in the beauty industry have never been tested for safety. There are currently no legal requirements for any cosmetic manufacturer to test their products. 

Americans are unaware of what their skin is absorbing on a daily basis. Companies are even allowed to hide ingredients, which is even worse because they're not telling us what we're really putting on our skin yet, we buy and use their products every day.

It's important to know about these ingredients because you don't need to put your health at risk to achieve beautiful skin. There are many other effective products out there that are natural and effective and will not harm your health.

Transitioning To Non Toxic Life Style

It's hard to transition into a non toxic life style but it's worth it. When people first make the decision, they usually get rid of almost every beauty product they own. They find out that most of them are made with harmful chemicals we should never be putting on our skin.

Every product that we put onto our bodies affect our overall well being, up to 60% of what we put on our skin gets absorbed. So it’s very important to choose your products wisely.
