How harmful chemicals like sulphates parabens etc make their way into our products
Our skin absorbs 60% of what is applied to it and hence the chemicals in products that it comes
in contact with, going directly into the bloodstream. What we apply to our skin should be good
enough to put inside our body as even in tiny amounts these chemicals can have a huge impact
on our heath and hormonal balance. It is crucial for you to understand what goes into your
products and take steps towards Safe, Clean and Responsible beauty. But, the beauty and
skincare industry is highly unregulated with claims, labels and ingredients lists being very
deceptive. Brands also do not share their entire ingredient list and share only the key
ingredients and manage to hide several harmful chemicals and preservatives.
Some of the most harmful ingredients even if they are present in low amounts that you should
be vary of are:
1. Silicones
Ubiquitous is most beauty products, silicones are polymers with multiple names making it hard
to identify their presence in skincare products. They act like a barrier on skin blocking pores and
trapping debris, bacteria, sebum and dead skin cells.
2. Parabens
Used as a preservative in several products, presence of Parabens has been linked with breast
cancer, reproductive disabilities and general irritation of skin. It reacts with UVB leading to
additional damage and aging of skin.
3. Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
Being an inexpensive chemical added to most foaming beauty products it Is also found in
pesticides, car batteries. It is linked to cause irritation of eyes skin and has corrosive properties.
4. Petroleum based or Mineral Oils
Being extracted from crude oil, they are contaminated with several toxic impurities. Potentially
carcinogenic and can disrupt endocrine hormonal balance.
5. Phthalates
Linked to reproductive toxicity, endocrine disruption and cancer. High presence of phthalate is
seen in color cosmetics and artificially fragranced products.
Also, keep an eye on presence of high concentration of heavy metals like Zinc, Cadmium in your
products. Formaldehyde, Talc, artificial color, artificial fragrances have also been linked to skin
irritation and hormonal imbalances. Avoiding all these will have a positive impact on your skin
and your long-term health and well-being.
