Did you know? That an average women will put on 10 - 12 different cosmetic products a day, and often multiple times a day. Before her morning cup of coffee she has exposed herself to quite the blend of synthetic chemicals. Not only has she absorbed anywhere from 21 - 94% of the chemicals she has put on, but she has also exposed the environment and the people she comes into contact with that day.

"Fragrance“ This vague term can include hundreds of chemicals and trigger allergic reactions. Skip products that use the term “fragrance” in the list of ingredients and instead find a product with natural ingredients and ingredients you can pronounce.  Ingredients can have harmful contaminants. Many common ingredients can contain impurities linked to cancer and other health concerns. Avoid these common ingredients where possible:

  • DMDM hydantoin,
  • Diazolidinyl urea,
  • Imidazolidinyl urea,
  • Ceteareth,
  • Polyethylene glycol and PEG

Fragrances are in everything from shampoo to deodorant to lotion. Federal law doesn’t require companies to list on product labels any of the chemicals in their fragrance mixture. Recent research has discovered an average of 14 chemicals in 17 name brand fragrance products, none of them listed on the label. Fragrances can contain hormone disruptors and are among the top 5 allergens in the world.
