How many cosmetics are you using?

We’ll discuss ingredients to stay away from in cosmetics in this article because… Have you kept track of the number of cosmetics you use every day, from the time you wake up until you leave the house?

We’re sure you’ve never given it much thought, but here’s an example: you enter the shower and apply body gel, shampoo, and hair softener. You then exit the shower and apply a body cream, face cream, serum, and possibly a facial toner. You also use toothpaste, deodorant, and cologne or perfume before leaving the house.

In a basic daily care routine, there are 10 cosmetic items. However, we have not included sunblock, foundation, blush, eye shadow, mascara, compact powder, hand cream, lipstick, lip balm, etc.

We typically use between 5 and 15 cosmetic products per day, which works out to about 150 cosmetic ingredients per day if we consider that each product has an average of 15 ingredients. If every day.

Now you understand why it is very important that you take into account the ingredients that can be harmful to your health.

But why are there toxic ingredients in my cosmetics?  That’s the million-dollar question.

The majority of ingredients in cosmetic products come from petroleum or are created through synthetic chemistry. Studies are conducted in various percentages until the dose is “reached” because in previous studies to determine the safety of the ingredients for human use, undesirable effects were frequently seen at high doses. ” safe” for use in humans, so far everything is perfect.

However, two factors that are important to me—and which the chemical and cosmetic industries have NOT considered—are as follows:

• The body’s ability to bioaccumulate many of these chemical substances (permanent organic compounds).
• the observation that an individual uses, on average, 10 cosmetic products per day rather than just one as we just demonstrated.

It turns out that parabens are preservatives that practically all cosmetic products carry (now less and less), so if we use a gel, a shampoo, a conditioner, a deodorant, a toothpaste, and a face cream, each of which has a 0.4% parabens, well, there is nothing more to add. Now that we have the perfect storm, let’s see it with a practical example: it is safe to use a product with 0.4% parab

And so we could do with the rest of the ingredients that carry the cosmetic products that we use every day.
