I'm so glad someone has asked this question as I am very bothered by it. It's more than obvious that the chemicals in mainstream beauty products everywhere are causing cancer and are the reason it is rising all the time. Take deodorant for example and think of what it's doing. Not only is it full of chemicals which are being absorbed into the skin, but it is forcing the natural perspiration to stay inside the body, clogging up inside for years on end which must lead to cancerous cells in the armpit and the breast. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women and although every woman uses different products, almost everyone wears deodorant.
The other thing that convinces me that beauty products play a huge role in cancer is that when you look back a few hundred years ago, no one really got cancer then and that was before all these beauty products were even invented. Only natural substances would have been absorbed into people's skin at that time so I think the link between today's chemicals and the soaring rates of cancer makes more sense than any other cause.
I have recently stopped using anti-perspirant deodorant and have switched to a natural deodorant, but I luckily don't really use body creams, fake tans, sprays, etc and only wear makeup on my face with a natural moisturiser. Thanks for making other people aware of this issue with your question and I'll be interested to see the answers for further thoughts and information.Chemicals in beauty products?
I really dont care cause the make up i ware is made be my Designer Paul so its all natural
I am a nutrionist and naturalist. If you want to know what makeup is good for you and works great, is ORIGINS, ( I live in Orange County and there is one in the south coast Plaza, but if you dont have one near you, try ebay, its cheap and they have everything on there, its a good way to try it or the origins website...www.origins.com) its all natural and most is organic. No parabens or sulfates, which cause cancer. Almost all lotions and cleanser and makeup contain parabens, go ahead and take a look at your beauty products. you will find methyl or ethyl or propyl or some type of paraben, they all cause cancer and are bad for your skin. add sulfates and that makes it worse. Origins is all natural and is good for you to, containing essential oils and vitamin and anti-oxidant rich ingrediants.I have sensitive skin and origins doesnt bother me. Do not use mineral powder like bare escentuals, believe me its not bare, it also has parabens in it. I am not a representative or anything for Origins, just a very happy customer who will never go to sephora or mac or anywhere else for my makeup again. They have cleansers, makeup and lotions for all types of skin, even combination. I use checks and balances since I have really dry skin except for my chin which is oily, this cleanser is for both, its awesome. I also do some modeling, and I use origins as my makeup for that too. Origins also has a great skin brightener that makes my face look alive and smooth without looking greasy. I Would also try a whole foods store like mothers or henrys or wild oats depending on where you live if you dont like origins, most whole foods and holistic places sell organic makeups. Just make sure you read the ingredients and dont buy anything with sulfates or parabens.
To find out more about origins you can look on there website at origins.com or search on the net about parabens being in beauty products and it will tell you more about chemicals in makeup and beauty products.
My advice is dont buy from the high street chemist. Instead buy products based on plant ingredients and natural oils. I can recommend Liz Earle, Elemis and Decleor all excellent and I have used them all for around 10 years. Check out the QVC website if you want to buy. This also applies to shampoo ranges, high street stuff is full of rubbish........try MOP organic or Aveda, youll notice a difference in your hair too!
