Do you know enough security of your beauty products
If you are using beauty products should do a little test of your knowledge on the composition and safety of these products. Even if you do not use these products also should know. Remember that knowledge is power.
Do you know enough security of your beauty products?
Test your knowledge! Answer True or False!
Before they were sold beauty products on the market, companies are required to ensure that these products and their ingredients have been proven safe.
If you answered True … you’re wrong. In the U.S. the FDA has no authority to approve or refuse the sale of cosmetics and their ingredients, except the colors.
Did you know that around 80% of the 10,500 ingredients used in personal care products and skin have not been evaluated by the CIR or the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (research organization in the cosmetics industry) and the FDA or any other public body?
Products that do not generate adversar reactions on the skin are very safe. The correct answer is False. There are many ingredients that have not been tested and do not know their long-term effects. You should be aware that different laboratory tests conducted on the ingredients of these products have shown that within this period may be the cause of diseases like cancer, allergies, skin problems and even reproductive problems. These ingredients also accumulate in the body, and one of the most common cosmetic ingredients, phthalates, are found in affected tissues in breast cancer.
Your exposure to toxic chemicals can be greatly reduced if you avoid the major toxic ingredients in cosmetics.
For if it is absolutely true! Take a round of applause if you’re right. You can start avoiding those harmful products such as fragrances or triclosan as they are harmful to both your body and the planet!
The products show a label organic and natural ingredients are safer than conventional products. This issue is complicated. The real answer is false. Remember that cosmetic ingredients are reviewed or controlled. Therefore you should stop thinking that that label is always talk of natural products.
The natural and organic ingredients may also be harmful to the body. For example poison ivy. It is a natural ingredient that harms humans.
Where if you can trust is those companies that do not get scared and decide to publish their formulas. Most of these companies are proud to inform consumers that their beauty products contain toxic ingredients.
If you want an organic product for your skin, the most effective and safe is the argan oil. Argan oil is extracted from the fruits of the argan tree, from Morocco. THE form of production of this oil can work well for many Moroccan women.
