What's in your hand lotion?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 18, 2009 -- Most of us do not want to spend our hard earned money on a product that is mostly water. Other ingredients that are disturbing to find right on a label include:
*No Artificial Colors or Dyes which are Carcinogenic
*No Phthalates: Hormone discrupting chemical
*No Mineral Oil: Clogs pores, impedes elimination of toxins, promotes acne and premature aging
*No Parabens: The Jan 04 Journal of Applied Toxicology reported Parabens in 18 of 20 breast cancer tumors
*No Isopropyl Alcohol which dehydrates skin and strips natural oil fom the skin, causes acne

*No Petroleum - A by-product of gasoline
*No DEA: Cancer Causing nitrates
Everything we apply to our skin absorbs into our body. Many ingredients especially parabens are put into products to preserve the shelf life, but at a risk to our health.

Laboratory tests reveal adolescent girls across America are contaminated with chemicals commonly used in cosmetics and body care products. Environmental Working Group (EWG) detected 16 chemicals from 4 chemical families - phthalates, triclosan, parabens, and musks - in blood and urine samples from 20 teen girls aged 14-19. Studies link these chemicals to potential health effects including cancer and hormone disruption. These tests feature first-ever exposure data for parabens in teens, and indicate that young women are widely exposed to this common class of cosmetic preservatives, with 2 parabens, methylparaben and propylparaben, detected in every single girl tested.

Cosmetics and other personal care products are an alarming example of government and industry failures to protect public health. Federal health statutes do not require companies to test products or ingredients for safety before they are sold. As a result, nearly all personal care products contain ingredients that have not been assessed for safety by any accountable agency, and that are not required to meet standards of safety. Why is this? We are exposed to so many toxins everyday outside our home. One of the greatest beauty retreats is pampering and taking care of ourselves. Our health should not be put at risk with long term consequences from products that could make us sick.
