You should really, really know this. Not just because the following list of chemical cosmetic ingredients are toxic, but because you also should know that what you put ON your skin goes IN.These chemicals makes beauty products cheaper to produce or longer lasting or prettier. They do everything for the manufacturer and nothing for you.
Read the labels and avoid these evils.
Here they are:
1. Methyl, Propyl, butyl and Ethyl Paraben.
2. Diethanolamine (DEA) and Triethanolamine (TEA).
3. Diazolidinyl Urea, Imidazolidinyl Urea.
4. Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulfate.
5. Petroleum (mineral oil, petroleum jelly).
6. Propylene Glycol.
7. PVP/VA Copolymer.
8. Stearalkonium Chlorida.
9. Synthetically Derived Coloring.
10. Synthetically Derived Fragrances.
I am immensely grateful for the booklet, Natural Ingredients Dictionary, given away free by Audrey Organics for most of this information. If you don't happen to come across one at places where their excellent products are sold, try the Web site: http://www.aubrey-organics.com/.
