Would you rate your bathroom cabinet as dangerous as the cupboard that holds your home cleaners? If you think this is a ridiculous notion then you need to read on further. Your bathroom cabinet that contains your beauty and skin care beauty products is one of the most dangerous areas of your home. If you are still using commercial beauty products and not organic beauty products, then your daily beauty regime could be a toxic nightmare! Organic beauty products are not just a fashionable trend. They are quickly becoming a vital change in our on going mission to be forever young and beautiful and most importantly healthy.
Current everyday cosmetics contain many dangerous ingredients whose names sound like they should belong in a lab rather than used on our faces and bodies. The endless list of synthetic man-made ingredients that are being put into our cosmetics, hair care products and skin care products are now acknowledged for their carcinogenic and reproductive system damaging properties if they are used for a sustained period.
Many people assume that the contents found in their expensive beauty products have been tested for their safety. Unfortunately those who are ensuring their safety are also those who are paid by the industry leaders and they are often more ruled by the profit margin of a product rather than its safety. Scientists employed by these governing bodies also belong to the review boards and product safety sometimes is not addressed as it should be. Why would companies that wish to make large profits want to substitute their cheap and easy to make synthetic products for those that are natural and more expensive to produce just because they are safer?
So what is the price that are we really paying to be beautiful and young? Besides the ridiculous prices we pay for the top beauty products, we are also be paying the price for our health and for future generations also. In 2004, the The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released a study that tested 7,500 products against lists of ingredients that are chemical health hazards. The study showed that many of the products tested fell short of consumer safety needs. The following ingredients are the worst offenders and are found in a wide range of products today. These cancer-causing ingredients are coal tar, alpha hydroxy acids, beta hydroxy acids and phthalates, a hormone-disrupting ingredient.
The best way to avoid the toxic attack that is being led by your beauty products is to choose organic beauty products. Lucky for us, wide ranges of organic beauty products can be found online, at your local organic store and health food stores. Some supermarkets are now even carrying organic brands due to the demand now being placed by consumers. And not just organic facial creams either. Organic companies are now making organic makeup and cosmetics, organic hair care products including hair styling gels and natural and organic skin care washes, scrubs and treatments masks. A great range of products to suit every organic beauty desire and skin type. However, don't be fooled by misleading advertising. It is absolutely necessary that you read the entire ingredients list to make sure they are 100% natural, and preferably organic.
