A few Ingredients oz goddess avoids...
· Artificial Fragrance and colours- often contain hundreds of ingredients including carcinogens like methyl chloride and can have an accumulative effect on the skin causing skin problems.
· Mineral oils, petroleum jelly- mineral oils form a barrier which prevents the evaporation of water through the skin they have been shown to be an allergenic and prolonged used can remove the skins natural oils. Petroleum products are made from petrol.
· Sodium lauryl sulphates- can cause eye irritation, skin rashes and allergic reactions and are frequently disguised in pseudo natural cosmetics with untrue claim that they come from coconut.
· Parabens-cosmetic companies use parabens to extend there products shelf life these include methyl paraben, propyl paraben and butyl paraben, they have a proven cacogenic effect they are toxic and made from synthetic chemicals, they also keep the skin care product on the outer layer of the skin so that no moisture can get in or out.
· Polyethylene glycols (peg)-emulsifiers suspected carcinogens (cancer)
· Formaldehyde- used in cosmetics as a preservative one of the most common and most toxic chemicals commonly used it is a noted carcinogen, it causes damage to the DNA and is recognised as a main trigger for chemical sensitivity. Therefore be were weary of sodium hydroxymethyglycenate, suttocide
· Synthetic preservatives – have shown to cause respiratory and other health issues, and I think there’s just something wrong with making a product last for years just to get there shelf life.” Would you enjoy eating food that has been sitting around for 3, 4, 5 years.
· Theres lots more, the list of bad ingredients is endless
