Detox Secret #46: Personal Care Product
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011Virtually all of the personal care products that you find in pharmacies and even high-end department stores have poisonous items that will destroy your health. Do you know what your beauty products consist of? The ingredients do not need to be labeled therefore the cosmetics companies are the only ones who know. Most beauty products are simply nothing more than a winning marketing product, devised to smell good, look great and feel good when you rub these products on your body, with little regard to the bearing on your wellness.
If you use department-store make-up on a daily basis, you can allow about 5 pounds of chemicals in your body annually — not even taking into account body creams, anti-perspirant, shampoo and conditioner and other beauty care products! Nearly all of these industrial chemicals and heavy metals are directly linked to cancer or are known to trigger organ injury, reproductive system and brain injury — this is true, detox professionals confirm. Though it might sound hard to believe, the Food and Drug Administration does not systematically review the product safety information of beauty care products.
It is essential to realize that of more than ten thousand ingredients going into sunscreen, toothpaste, nail polish and other products, merely thirteen percent of these ingredients have been reviewed for product safety in 3 decades — this is per the latest review. On average, you are apt to apply close to 130 assorted ingredients to your body every morning and nearly 100 percent of them haven’t been assessed for product safety. Will you be able to keep yourself protected? Find beauty products manufactured by corporations that are earth-friendly, animal-friendly and green. Read more at my blog Detox Safely.
