Personal Care Products that Are Dangerous to Your Health

Those who buy Clearasil for their teenage daughters, raise your hands!

Are you aware about the reports linking it to Cancer? Clearasil as well as many other acne skin care products have some deadly chemicals in them. One is called sodium methylparaben, which has been banned in cosmetics by the European Union. You have to wonder why the European Union bans this chemical and we don't? Before you buy your next acne medicine for your teenager, I would suggest that you read more about the concerns of these products here: http://action.safecosmetics.org/action/index.asp?step=2&item=14244

Do you know what "phthalates" are?

This is a chemical compound used in plastics. Are you aware of the dangers of plastics on your health? Studies have shown the adverse effects of phthalates on the liver, kidneys, and lungs.The problem is that many companies do not list all the types of phthalates nor the levels that are in their products. Phthalates are linked to all sorts of genetic problems. The levels of phthalates while a woman is pregnant can cause harm to her unborn child. Research has been showing a relationship to undeveloped genitals in male babies.
