*MINERAL OIL (baby oil) - A liquid mixture of hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum, mineral oil can attract dirt and causes blackheads and eruptions, it blocks natural immune barrier of skin. It can accelerate free radical damage, thus speeding up the aging process, because it causes toxins to build up in the skin.
*DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (monoethanolamine), TEA (triethanolamine) cause the product to foam holding dirt in suspension to washed away, also to balance pH. It is found in bubble baths, shampoos, soaps, body washes and facial cleansers. They may contain hormone disrupting chemicals that are know to form cancer causing nitrates and nitrosamines.
* PARAFFIN WAXE – Wax is widely used in cleansing creams, eye creams and moisturizers. Waxes clog pores creating blackheads and whiteheads. They also smother the skin, which over a period of time, creates an enlarged pore problem.
* LANOLIN - A yellow, semi-solid, fatty secretion from sheep's wool is widely used in skin and beauty care products. It can cause an allergic reaction in some people, as well as enlarged pores.
* PETROLATUM - This familiar semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons is derived from petroleum. Literally, "paraffin jelly" or "petroleum jelly" - it is not absorbed by the skin and suffocates pores. All petrochemicals pollute our water and destroy marine life - avoiding them is essential for humans, animals, fish, water, land and air.
* ACETONE - Used in nail polish and nail polish removers, this colorless, volatile liquid is often used in astringents, fresheners or clarifying lotions. It is extremely toxic and will dehydrate the skin while speeding up the aging process.
* BORAX (Sodium Borate Boric Acid) - Used in baby powders, eye creams, skin fresheners, and protective creams as a preservative- it is rapidly absorbed by the skin. And it is still widely used, despite repeated warnings from the American Medical Association.
* ALCOHOLS SUCH AS ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL, SD ALCOHOL 40, ETHYL ALCOHOL- Alcohols dissolves the body's own natural moisturizers and strips the skin of its own protection, leaving it vulnerable to infection. Alcohols destroy the skin pH balance and since they absorb water they speed up wrinkling of the skin. They can cause headache, dizziness, mental depression, nausea, vomiting and coma.
* FD&C- When this abbreviation precedes the name of a color, it means that the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has certified it as safe for use in drugs and cosmetics, but not in food. D&C colors are usually synthetic, coal tar colors; they're toxic and should be avoided when at all possible, They are carcinogenic, and cause skin sensitivity and skin irritation.
* FRAGRANCES (synthetic musks) they give the product a pleasant scent. They are found in most beauty and personal care items. They may be carcinogenic, toxic, allergic reactions, bio-accumulation in human and fish!
* METHYL, PROPYL, BUTYL AND ETHYL PARABENS. They extend the shelf life of the products by inhibiting microbial growth. They are just about every skin care and hair products made today. They known to be toxic, to give allergic reaction and to irritate skin, hormones disruptor, found in some fish also.
* PROPLYLENE GLYCOL (PG) it is a surfactant/ wetting agent and solvent. It is found in make-up, hair product, lotion, aftershave, deodorant, mouth wash and toothpaste. It is used in antifreeze for the same function. They can break down cellular structure (skin) It can also cause brain, liver and kidney abnormalities.
*SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS) OR SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (SLES) It is a hash detergent, degreaser and surfactant/ wetting agent. It is found in cosmetics, tooth pastes, about 90% of all products that produce foam. I can cause permanent damage to children's eyes, skin irritation and potential carcinogen.
*TRICLOSAN It is antibacterial chemical. It is found in dish washing fluids, deodorants, cosmetics, lotions, creams and tooth paste. It is known hormone disruptor, suspected carcinogen, skin irritations, can bio-accumulate and cause “super-bugs”
*UV FILTERS (OXY-BENZONE,OCTYL METHOXYCINNAMATE). A UV stabilizer and filter UVB light. It is found in sunscreens and foundations. They possibly harm human cells, estrogenic effects, transexualisation in male fish.
*DEA (diethanolamine), MEA (monoethanolamine), TEA (triethanolamine) cause the product to foam holding dirt in suspension to washed away, also to balance pH.
