TOXINS IN MAKEUP, COSMETICS, and BODY-CARE PRODUCTS
As per my video, I have an outline below of the many ingredients found in makeup and similar cosmetics that have been proven to have any number of adverse reactions…be it allergic reactions or are just plain outright toxic.
PLEASE note this list is by no means exhaustive. It is designed in part to give you a starter set of ingredients, and I highly encourage you to research each and every ingredient you are putting on your face.
There is no question that absorption through the skin happens. Whole medical technologies and supplements are placed on the skin as a deliberate delivery route into the body. Be it in the form of various medical patches (such as for smokers) or topical magnesium choride or nascent iodine.
The skin can and does deliver a great many chemicals into the body.
So the less the burden we place on our bodies in the form of toxins, hopefully the less health issues we will suffer.
Instead of listing the potential negative effects of each substance individually, I am instead going give a summation of the reported possible effects. Because this is too is not exhaustive, and many other side effects can occur, it was easiest to simply separate the known effects from the ingredients themselves.
POSSIBLE EFFECTS:
sensitization, nervous system poison, liver toxicity, reproductive effects, neurotoxicity, sloughing of skin, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, respiratory toxicity, carcinogen, contact dermatitis, memory loss, convulsions, intellectual impairment, kidney and cardiovascular toxicity, hypersensitivity, immuno and respiratory toxicity, CNS depression, psoriasis, acne, skin rash, developmental issues, rashes, dizziness, etc…
…You get the idea.
The point is to be mindful of ANY adverse experiences of ANY kind you may be having that are noticed, either sudden or gradual. We are all exposed to toxins on a daily basis, and the body finds all sorts of ways, depending on the individual, to try to protect itself from the bombardment. The unfortunate result is often that something drastic happens to a person…an illness or similar…before they begin to analyze everything in their life and make changes that are friendlier to their body.
I sincerely hope that does not happen to you, and to help you on your path to a healthier life, take note of the ingredients listed below, and if they are in your cosmetic products, research them and decide if you want to have the product in your life:
