We’ve all heard about the “dirty dozen” foods that are heavily-laden with pesticides.
But have you heard of the makeup industry’s TOXIC TEN?
Believe it or not, your beauty products are making you sick!
More and more people are becoming aware of the relationship between harmful chemicals in products we put on our body and how they make us feel.
Our skin absorbs up to 64% of the ingredients we apply on it!
We battle brain fog, fatigue, low energy, unexplained aches and pains every. single. day.
We use brands that are driven by profit margins, instead of the best interest of the consumer & quality ingredients.
And these same companies use the cheapest ingredients possible in order to increase profits.
And often the cheapest ingredients are toxic.
One of the largest and fastest growing industries in the United States is the cosmetic industry.
The Beauty Industry is Exploding in North America
Each year, this market grows by a half to one percent! As of 2019, over 93 billion U.S. dollars were spent on makeup and skincare!
However, the frightening thing is–it is one of the least regulated industries in the U.S.
The beauty industry has not seen any significant legislation since 1976! And prior to that, was 1938!
A lot has changed since then!
When we go into a local retailer to purchase makeup, how often are we thinking of the ingredients’ labels?
Most likely, you are searching for a particular color or feature that meets your preferences.
However, chances are, the makeup you’re buying from the drugstore, contains some pretty frightening and toxic ingredients!
Here’s the Short List of the Toxic Ten:
- Formaldehyde: preservative
- Phthalates: adhesive, solvent, or plasticizer
- Mercury: preservative or skin lightener
- Parabens: preservative
- Toluene: solvent
- Triclosan: antimicrobial
- Carbon black: pigment
- PFA’s: (there are over 4,000 of these chemicals, used in all sorts of products, ranging from sunscreen to makeup to personal care)
- Asbestos: substance often contaminating talcum powder
- Lead: heavy metal often found in makeup
Each of these ingredients are known for being harmful. Some of them are known carcinogens, which causes cancer. Others are dangerous for the development of babies in-utero. All are not safe. And all are banned by the strict standards of the E.U.
The alarming fact is that most of our makeup products do not have the ingredients listed on them. So we don’t even know what we are buying!
We buy lipstick to match an outfit. Go home and apply it. And 64% of it is ends up in our bloodstream!
After learning this alarming information, it makes you want to go “au naturel“.
Do you ever wonder if there are safer choices out there?
The good news: there are!
The bad news: so many of these options are priced out of reach of the average household!
The dilemma many women face: toxic beauty? or plain jane?
For many years, people never gave a thought to the ingredients found in makeup and daily, personal care products.
But with the rise of cancers, chronic illnesses, and childhood diseases, people are starting to look for reasons.
Research is pointing to toxic chemical overload.
Our bodies can only tolerate so many toxins bombarding it.
Do you ever wonder…
…Are there affordable and safe options?
The good news: YES!
There is actually a privately held manufacturer in the U.S. that creates makeup, skincare and personal care products that are free of all of the above toxins (and so many more not listed)!
And the beauty of it, is that, you can purchase all of your needs under one roof.
Simplicity and Safety
It’s a match made in heaven!
I have shopped at this online wholesale store for over 7 years, and I absolutely love the quality of the makeup!
Definitely a win!
