2016 RESOLUTION
BUY HEALTHY!!!!
Stop using products with Cancer causing ingredients in them... Think of it this way... you don't want to slather Cancer cremes onto your skin and hair to just let those carcinogens soak into your
body.

U.S. cosmetic companies are allowed to use virtually any raw material in their products they wish, with the exceptions of color additives and ingredients classified as drugs. No government approval!

Here are six common skin-care ingredients that are used in the U.S. but banned in other nations:

1. FORMALDEHYDE: This chemical is used as a preservative and also includes a group of substances known as “formaldehyde donors,” which effectively release formaldehyde into a product.

One of the most controversial of these donors is quaternium-15, which until recently was found in the popular Johnson & Johnson’s baby shampoos. The American Academy of Dermatology warns that formaldehyde can cause severe allergic reactions. Canada has banned it in personal care products.

2. PETROLEUM distillates: The same oil refineries that pump out oil for heating and cars also produce petroleum that is often found in mascaras sold in the United States. Petroleum distillates are used as emollients and are also found in eye shadow, lotions, creams, hairspray, and foundation makeup. They’ve been banned in the European Union.

3. HYDROQUINONE:This bleaching agent is often used to lighten dark patches of skin
called hyperpigmentation, age spots, or liver spots. It has also been linked to lung irritation and tumors in mice. Canada and some Asian and African countries have banned the use of hydroquinone in skin products.

4. *BHA: BUTYLATED HYDROXYANISOLE: is used as a preservative in moisturizers, shaving creams, fragrances, and makeup, particularly lipsticks. It is linked to endocrine disruption and cancer, according to the International Agency for Research on Cancer.

The EU prohibits its use in fragrances, and California requires a warning label on all products that contain BHA. On top of the human danger, it adversely affects the environment because it accumulates in water and kills wildlife.

5. PARABENS:These chemicals are used as preservatives in a variety of cosmetics. They are suspected endocrine disruptors and may interfere with male reproductive function. They’re commonly used in deodorants and antiperspirants and have been also linked to breast cancer. The EU banned parabens in 2012.

6. METHYL CELLOSOLVE: This solvent is used in anti-aging creams, moisturizers, and serums. According to the EWG, methyl cellosolve is a neurotoxin that causes DNA mutation. It’s an obscure ingredient that is sometimes not explicitly listed on labels. It has been banned in Canada and restricted in the EU.
