Know the facts!
The vast majority of cosmetic products contain various ingredients that have been proven to be dangerous and potential carcinogens.
Although these ingredients are often (not always!) included in small amounts, our exposure to these toxic chemicals adds up over time. The average woman absorbs 30 POUNDS of cosmetics over her lifetime! Do the math, and we are talking about large amounts of dangerous chemicals absorbed into our bodies!
The Environmental Working Group (EWG www.ewg.org), a coalition of health advocacy organizations, says the average American adult uses nine personal care products daily containing a total of 126 chemical ingredients!
