How many products did you put on your body today? Shampoos, deodorants, lotions and soaps promise to make us feel shiny, fresh, soft and clean.
But how clean are these products, really?


Toxic chemicals are in products and in our bodies.   Most personal care products from shaving cream to mascara, and even baby shampoos – commonly contain chemicals linked to cancer, reproductive problems and other health problems that are becoming epidemic. We absorb these chemicals through our skin.

What can you do ? This is such a large topic but to start with why not.. 

1) Check out some of your favourite products at
Skin Deep Cosmetics Database and see how clean they are for your body.

2) Read and educate yourself about the "Dirty Dozen" 
These ingredients are not your friends and should not be in your skincare
  • BHA and BHT – endocrine disruption; possible carcinogen
  • Coal tar dyes – possible carcinogen; may contain heavy metals toxic to the brain
  • DEA – reactions formed can be carcinogenic
  • Dibutyl phthalate – reproductive toxicant; endocrine disruptor
  • Formaldehyde-releasing preservatives – known carcinogen
  • Parabens – suspected endocrine disruptor; may interfere with male reproductive functions 
  • Parfum (fragrance) – allergies; asthma; known carcinogen; neurotoxicity
  • PEG compounds – possible carcinogen
  • petrolatum – possible carcinogen
  • Siloxanes – endocrine disruptor; reproductive toxicant
  • Sodium laureth sulfate – possible carcinogen
  • Triclosan – antibiotic resistance in bacteria; endocrine disruptor

​3) Read This it's a great read for those just starting to look into the toxicity of cosmetic products :)
