The Hidden Dangers Lurking In Your Cosmetics

This is not the first and certainly will not be the last time that we discuss the dangers of commonplace cosmetics, skin creams and other body care products.

There is no harm in taking care of ones appearance, but toxic chemicals added to these products do put the unsuspecting user at harm.

There is a strong association between the explosion of allergies, asthma and obesity (just to name a few) and the increasing prevalence of these types of chemicals.

This video is the beginning of a humorous ad campaign to bring attention to the problem.

Now while we definitely do want to avoid toxic chemicals, it is a lot to ask to sacrifice beauty and indulgence for “natural.”

Fortunately, a number of cosmetics and body-care producers do make amazing natural products! Visit here for a list of some of these companies and their amazing products. If there is anything specific you are looking for, then please feel free to ask us during your next visit and we can point you in the right direction!

Yours in health,
