Part 3- The Chemicals In Your Makeup- 101

Prevention. The act of preventing something from happening. In the case of sickenesses and disease, organic foods, toiletry and makeup products with natural based ingredients- all of these things are prevention. These are methods to prevent the result what commonly happens when people use non-organic, chemicalized foods, and chemically laden toiletries and cosmetics.

 

The prevention from sickness, allergies, diseases, and cancer are how we can proactively take charge and give ourselves and our families something better. Cancer, which is something which has, of late, become a surprisingly big issue, which was never really present 20, 30, 40 years or before that. I have had 5 people in my life some closer than others, some that I had known and liked, and they all died of cancer.

It was shocking to see this sudden increase in what we barely ever heard of in the 80s and 90s, growing up.

Genetically Modified Plants

So many of the hidden chemicals in pesticides go directly into the crops that we eat; the food that animals we will eat; the chemically and genetically modified wheat, rice, corn, soy, tomatoes, potatoes, bananas(the list can go on for a long time)- all of these things have slowly creaped into our systems and formed into sicknesses, diseases, cancers, and allergies. Links have been found in eating gmo foods and autistic children. Links have been correlated and found to be causing so many issues, illnesses and sicknesses, that even Dr. Oz and shows that millions watch are turning to organic foods, natural remedies for issues, and looking for the more natural alternative.

There is no reason to be blind to this any longer. It is time to do better, and seek better alternatives.

Chemicals Found in Your Makeup

As for the Chemicals in Your Makeup 101- today I want to discuss nanoparticles  and silicone. 

Nanoparticles: The long-term health risks of nanoparticles remain poorly understood. The likely exposure in ‘real life’ conditions is also unknown. But early studies have suggested that if exposure is high enough, nanoparticles now used by the cosmetics industry could cause lung damage , cell toxicity, damage DNA, and possibly even harm unborn children.

Silicone:  Environment Canada assessments concluded that cyclotetrasiloxane and cylcopentasiloxane — also known as D4 and D5 — are toxic, persistent, and have the potential to bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms. Also, the European Union classifies D4 as a endocrine disruptor, based on evidence that it interferes with human hormone function,and a possible reproductive toxicant that may impair human fertility. In laboratory experiments, exposure to high doses of D5 has been shown to cause uterine tumours and harm to the reproductive and immune systems. D5 can also influence neurotransmitters in the nervous system.

There are MANY more chemicals that are commonly found in your daily, common, and popular makeup brands, such as HDI/Trimethylol Hexyllactone Crosspolymer, which is used primarily as an anti-caking agent. It has some links to causing organ toxicity. You can find more information on this and many of the other commonly found chemicals HERE: http://www.glamgirlnaturals.com/WATCH-OUT-FOR-THESE-INGREDIENTS--13.html

The point is to make you aware- not scare you. Do something better for yourself, in your foods, your toiletries, and in your makeup.
