Did you know?

The average adult woman uses 12 personal care products per day?

The average adult male uses 7 personal care products per day?

Page 3: Toxic beauty

“The chemicals in my products are minimal and only applied to my skin…it’s not like I am eating them!”

According to Dr. Mercola: What you put on your skin can be more dangerous than what you eat because there are not stomach enzymes breaking them down, rather they enter the bloodstream direct.

Page 4: Toxic beauty

Our skin is the largest transport system to our organs

30% of what is supposed to exit our body is supposed to exit through our skin

30% of what enters our body comes from through our skin

We absorb up to 60% of what we put on our skin

Page 5: Toxic beauty

What about the FDA?

The cosmetics and personal care products (PCP’s) industry is a 35 billion dollar industry; so powerful it has managed to be unregulated for decades.

There are: 10,500 chemicals in our PCP’s only 11% have been tested for safety.

There are over 200 ingredients in the PCP’s in the U.S. that have been proven to be hazardous to health and are banned in the EU.

Not one single product or ingredient has to be approved by the FDA before it is released into the market.

Babies are being born pre-polluted

More thank 70% of PCP’s in the U.S. contain Phthalates that link directly to birth defects and infertility.

Did you ever wonder why our toddler girls are developing breasts?

Or why more male babies are being born with descended testicles?

Or why more and more kids are suffering from ADHD, Autism and Allergies?

97% of Americans tested by the US Centers for Disease Control have Diethyl Phthalate (DEP) in their blood streams.

Green Washing

Pink Washing

Green Washing is when companies use words like “natural”, “organic”, “ecofriendly”, and “hypoallergenic” to depict a greener product. In reality, those words are merely marketing terms and have no legal meaning.Pink Washing is when

companies offer proceeds from the sale of products to support breast cancer research, most commonly identified by pink ribbons on the label. However these products contain toxic ingredients that can negatively affect our health.
