BEWARE of These Harmful Ingredients
Everyday you may unknowingly be lavishing your body, the body of your little ones, or the body of a loved elderly with POISON!
The truth is that the personal care & beauty products you may be using to enhance your appearance are laden with chemicals that in many cases do more harm than good.
But since the personal care and cosmetic industry is a multi-billion dollar a year industry, it is more advantageous to them for you NOT to know.
Check the labels of your current bathroom products (mouthwashes, toothpaste, shampoos, conditioners, shower bars/gels, bubble baths, shaving gels/creams and deodorants) for these potentially harmful ingredients.
| A Few Potentially Harmful Ingredients
(Possible Time-Bombs!) |
|
| Alcohol | Lip, mouth, tongue, and throat cancers. |
| Aluminum | Nerve damage, brain disorders (e.g. Alzheimer's.) |
| Benzoic / Benzyl | Cancer, endocrine disrupters, birth defects. |
| DEA: Diethanolamine
TEA: Triethanolamine MEA: Monoethanolamine |
Potential carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) added to boost foaming action. E.g.: TEA+SLS together in one product = NDELA (a nitrosamine and potent carcinogen!) |
| Laureth (ethoxylated), or PEG | Potential cancer-causing agent, mimics estrogen, and an endocrine disrupter. |
| Propylene Glycol | Kidney & liver abnormalities. Dermatitis. Forces moisture out of the skin. Inhibits skin-cell growth and regeneration. Skin irritant. |
| Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES),
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) (anionic surfactants) |
Hazardous to overall health. Could contain potential carcinogens (nitrosamines and dioxane). Builds up in the heart, liver, lungs, and brain. Is a mutagen: contributes to the formation and development of potential carcinogens in the body! Believed to disrupt the mouth's mucousal protective layer. may cause mouth ulcers (canker sores). Wears down the very tooth enamel that toothpaste is supposed to preserve. Contains endocrine disrupters, estrogen mimics. Shown to cause hair loss and irritate the scalp. Could retard healing, lead to improper eye development in children under 6 years of age, and cause cataracts in adults. Roughens and dries out skin. |
| Sodium Fluoride
(aka Fluoride) |
Potential carcinogen. Increases the rates of oral cancer/tumors. Causes bone cancer. Fluoridation is responsible for 40 million cases of arthritis, dental deformity in 8 million children, allergic reactions in 2 million people and overall 10,000 unnecessary cancer deaths every year. |
| Talc | Poses serious risk of ovarian cancer. When inhaled, could cause chronic lung irritation (pulmonary talcosis) and even death. Chance of lung and rare adrenal cancers. Clogs pores and is linked to skin irritation problems. |

Heed this Consumer Awareness advice: seriously consider switching to safe, non-toxic products for your whole family.
If you're still not convinced, let me give you another proof of how health threatening this can be to you and your children.
Research statistics reveal that every year, more children are poisoned to death by personal care and cosmetic products, than are accidentally killed by guns in their homes!
So, if you're concerned about having guns in the home, know that most store-bought products could pose a greater risk. They are just not perceived as dangerous. Ban toxic products from your home today!
Consider that harmful ingredients do jeopardize the quality of your life, accelerate your body's aging process and could take precious time from your lifespan. So... Go the safest way... Go Neways!
