Are These 11 Banned Ingredients in Your Beauty Products?
Category:
Did you know that the average woman uses about 12 different beauty products every day, made up of about 168 chemical ingredients?
I know, it’s quite a revelation!
Here’s the kicker: many of these ingredients could potentially be more harmful than helpful to our bodies.
Some of these ingredients, including phthalates and parabens, are potential endocrine disruptors and could affect hormones and increase cancer risk or fertility issues, even at very low doses.
That’s exactly what Robin Reves-May unpacks in the VFL Show: The Dirty Truth About Everyday Products.
Robin pulls back the curtain on what’s really hiding in your everyday beauty products—from hormone-disrupting chemicals to sneaky microplastics—and how to detox your routine without the overwhelm. Watch Robin’s powerful segment:
Why clean skincare?
About 70% of what you put on your skin can be absorbed into your bloodstream. That’s why it’s important to know exactly what you’re applying on your skin.
As more people grow conscious of the skincare products they use, this whole “clean beauty” thing is blowing up big time.
Those jars and tubes labeled as “naturally derived,” “cruelty-free,” and “non-toxic” are flying off the shelves like hotcakes!
But with no official definition of what “clean beauty” is, how do you know which skincare products are safe to use?
Are your skincare products safe?
Over 1,300 ingredients are restricted for cosmetics use in Europe.
