We apply lotions, gels, creams, deodorants and perfumes directly on our skin. Our skin like a sponge absorbs it and this chemical soup directly enters the bloodstream. Apart from impacting kidneys that filter blood these chemicals found in personal care products harm us in following ways:
1. Endocrine Disruptors – Disrupt Endocrine system thus the hormones that regulate body processes. In women’s mid-life years this hormonal imbalance can worsen menopausal symptoms.
2. Health Concerns – Some chemicals are carcinogenic and can impair kidney function
3. Skin – Use of these chemicals in long run can worsen acne outbreak, cause dryness and eczema.
4. Respiratory Issue – Inhaling harmful chemicals lead to breathing issues and harms lungs
What can you do – Choose natural skin care products, essential oil based fragrances and minimize use of chemical laden makeup and other products.
Read labels – Labels mention ingredients so read them carefully. Avoid products containing Parabens (such as methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparaben); Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), Synthetic fragrances, Phthalates, Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde-Releasing Agents, Mineral Oil, Denatured and Isopropyl Alcohol, Phenoxyethanol, Oxybenzone, Hydroquinone, Polyethylene glycols, Triclosan
