Did you know that many products that you may be using have cancer triggering ingredients?
Shampoos, body lotions, creams, etc.
I know it sounds terrifying, but that’s not the worst part of the matter.
The problem is that you are not aware of what they may be causing not only you, but your loved ones a lot of harm.
The unknown danger is always the worse, because you don’t know where it comes from and how to stop it.
But that is going to end, because I will tell you which ingredients to watch out for and their side effects.
- BHA / BHT – skin lightener, considered by the National Toxicology Program as a likely carcinogen.
- Sodium Borate / Boric Acid – causes hormonal imbalances and infertility in men.
- Coal Tar – recognized as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. On the ingredient lists, it goes by aminophenol, diaminobenzene, and phenylenediamine.
- Formaldehyde (Releasing Preservatives) – causes cancer, damages the brain, triggers allergic reactions, interferes with growth and development in children, and induces asthma. If you’ve ever experienced a contact allergy after using a skin lotion, it probably had one of these ingredients: DMDM Hydantoin (very common), diazolidinyl urea, imidazolidinyl urea, methenamine, and quaternium-15.
- PEG Compounds (Propylene glycol, polyethylene glycols, or polyoxyethylene) – FDA considers them carcinogens. Also, watch out for words with “-eth” or “-oxynol” in it (it’s likely one of these PEGs).
- Mercury – some cosmetics use it to lighten the skin. Don’t buy products with “calomel”, “mercurio”, “mercurio chloride” or just plain old “mercury”.
- Hydroquinone – causes a skin disease called ochronosis that features black and blue lesions that can become permanent.
- Oxybenzone – usually found in sunscreen, it causes skin irritation and allergic reactions.
- Triclosan – triggers hormonal imbalances that harms your thyroid and reproductive hormones. Mostly found in many antibacterial hand soaps, hand sanitizers, and even deodorants, skin cleansers, and toothpaste.
- Parabens – cause reproductive problems like infertility or slowed growth and developmental disorders in children.
- “Fragrance” (perfume) – this term is used to indicate a mixture of ingredients that cosmetic companies don’t have to legally tell you about. Some fragrances have caused allergic reactions, asthma, and breathing difficulties while others have been linked to cancers.
- Phthalates – block testosterone and damage a man’s reproductive system and they also increase the risk of breast cancer.
- Siloxanes (methicones) – disrupt your hormones and interfere with fertility and libido.
- Sodium Lauryl (Laureth) Sulfate – may contain carcinogens and other chemicals that harm your nervous system.
- Retinol (Retinyl Palmitate / Acetate) – increases the risk of skin cancers due to its vitamin A compounds that are not safe for the skin. Sunlight breaks them down and creates free radicals that increase the risk of skin cancers.
Why are big companies selling you this stuff?
Because their end goal is not to heal you or make you better. Instead they want to make you cling on to their products that give you the desired short term effect, but with awful side effects on the long term.
However, you have a great deal of power in this, because you have a choice. You can decide to protect yourself and your loved ones from ever buying those harmful products that contain these kinds of substances.
You can choose a healthier, more effective alternative.
