Your skin is your largest organ so anything and everything you put on your skin gets absorbed into your body. Did you know that makeup often has toxic chemicals in it?
Some of the top chemicals found in makeup are:
- Phthalates – disruptive to the endocrine system and can lead to neurological damage.
- Lead – a neurotoxin linked to miscarriage and reduced fertility (a frequent contaminant of color additives even when not listed on the label)
- Quanternium-15 and other formaldehyde-releasing preservatives – a known carcinogen
- PEG compounds – another known carcinogen especially harmful to the nervous system
- Butylated Compounds (BHT, BHA) – endocrine disrupter, known toxins, and may induce skin allergies
- Parabens – hormone interrupter and have been detected in human breast cancer tissue
- Octinoxate – linked to thyroid disorders
- p-Phenylenediamine – a respiratory toxicant and often contaminated with heavy metals
- Carbon Black – linked to cancer and organ toxicity.
- Siloxanes – another endocrine disrupter.
That is why we have chosen to carry the AuNatural Cosmetic line for all your beauty needs from foundations to blush to finishing powder to lipstick, lip pencils, eye shadow, and more! Their entire line is made without parabens, animal bi products, synthetics, the chemicals listed above, or other harmful ingredients and still perform!
