Be prepared to be shocked. Our skin care products and cosmetics are dangerous.

Over the life of this website we have sought to alert our readers to the dangers of modern skin care products, cosmetics, personal and beauty care products such as shampoos, soaps and deodorants and much more.

And we have also sought to publicize the work of organizations such as the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics who are tirelessly working to publicise the dangers of modern personal products.

Unfortunately in the US so many personal products such as skin care products and cosmetics and much more contain chemical and petrochemical ingredients which are risky to your health and in some cases are known to cause cancer.

And our government does nothing about it.

The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics has now released a hard hitting must see video about the dangers of modern cosmetics and skin care products and in fact virtually all personal and beauty products, (unless you choose very wisely).

We bring that video to you  here.

Remember, skin care and cosmetics companies can pledge themselves to producing only safe products using known safe ingredients, so it’s entirely possible to purchase SAFE (and extremely effective) skin care products using known safe ingredients. They can do this by signing the Compact at the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

In our view the skin care products of Xtend Life are the best, and safest, skin care products by far. The company has signed the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics compact, and produces extremely high quality, and safe, skin care products.

Here’s the video.

A new study links chemicals in cosmetics with hormones in teenage girls.

It’s not news to you if you’re a regular reader of this website that mainstream skin care products and cosmetics contain dangerous ingredients.  We’ve talked before about the nasty ingredients and chemicals in cosmetics. However here’s a new study.

It links cosmetic use with dangerous chemicals that may disrupt the hormones of maturing teenage girls. The Environmental Working Group tested the urine of girls aged between 14 and 20 and found that there was chemicals from 4 families of chemicals in EVERY sample tested.

The chemical families are Phthalates, Parabens, Musks and Triclosan.

And some of these chemicals have been linked to possible disruption of hormones in girls.

So really there’s a giant trial going on to see if these chemicals found in cosmetics and skin care products are dangerous to the hormonal development of our daughters, and everyone else who uses cosmetics and skin care products. It’s unregulated and no one really knows what the results will be, but if it turns out that having these chemicals in our cosmetics is dangerous to our children, (and of course us too) then it’s too late.

Luckily there are both safe cosmetics and safe skin care products available using natural non toxic ingredients. Luckily too, they work extremely well and are very price competitive.
