Dear fellow Toastmasters and guests,I included various website links in this presentation to give you more useful information.Please do the following to take you to the website links.Highlight the hyperlinkRight click, select Open Hyperlinkor highlight the hyperlink , copy , paste to your internet browser.

  3. Many skin care products and cosmetics contain ingredients that are not only harmful to your skin, but also to your long term health. • Do you know that the FDA does not regulate the cosmetic industry? • Safe cosmetics law is obsolete- passed in 1938 • Petroleum based substances are used because they are cheap • We expose ourselves to toxic chemicals everyday

  4. MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE- KNOWLEDGE IS THE KEY • READ THE INGREDIENTS– INGREDIENTS ARE LISTED IN DESCENDING ORDER OF THEIR QUANTITY IN THE PRODUCT • SYNTHETIC INGREDIENTS ARE BAD • PLANT BASED INGREDIENTS ARE GOOD LIKE ESSENTIAL OILS FROM LAVANDER, ROSEMARY, MINT • RESEARCH COMPLETE LIST OF INGREDIENTS BEFORE BUYING - SOME PRODUCTS LIST ACTIVE INGREDIENTS ONLY

  5. ”THE DIRTY DOZEN” TOXIC INGREDIENTS 1. Benzoyl Peroxide - This is often included in acne products 2. Diethanolamine (DEA), Triethanolamine (TEA) and Monoethanolamine (MEA) - used as foam booster 3. Dioxin - contained in antibacterial ingredients http://planetgreen.discovery.com/fashion-beauty/care2-toxic-beauty-ingredients.html

  6. ”THE DIRTY DOZEN”TOXIC INGREDIENTS 4. Triclosan - This is an antibacterial substance that is registered by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) as a pesticide. 5. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) found in sunscreens and baby care products 6. DMDM Hydantoin and Imidazolidinyl (Urea) - These are preservatives that release formaldehyde

  7. ”THE DIRTY DOZEN”TOXIC INGREDIENTS 7. FD&C Colors and pigments are carcinogenic 8. Parabens (Methyl, Butyl, Ethyl, Propyl) – carcinogenic preservatives, disrupt hormones, which can cause a whole host of problems 9. Phthalates- can have effects such as decreased sperm count, early puberty and birth defects

  8. ”THE DIRTY DOZEN”TOXIC INGREDIENTS 10. Propylene Glycol (PG) and Butylene Glycol - can cause brain, liver and kidney problems if too much is absorbed through the skin 11. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS); Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) - Commonly used in foaming beauty products, as well as engine degreasers and garage floor cleaners. 12. Chemicals used in sun block - watch out for avobenzone, benzphenone, ethoxycinnamate and PABA

  9. WATCH FOR THESETOXIC INGREDIENTS • Mineral oil or Petrolatum- Baby oil is 100% mineral oil. It is made from crude oil. Slows down skin function and cell development, resulting in premature aging. • Sodium Fluoride is the main ingredient of Prozac, Sarin nerve gas, rat and roach poison. Why is it in toothpaste? • Fragrance • http://www.greaterthings.com/Lexicon/F/Fluoride.htm

  10. CONCERNS ABOUT TOXIC COSMETICS • Cancer • Allergies • Reduced immunity • Miscarriages, birth defects • Irritation of skin, eyes, or lungs

  11. CONCERNS ABOUT TOXIC COSMETICS • Neurotoxicity, hormone disruption • Bad for the environment • Biochemical or cellular level changes • Absorbed through the skin and accumulate in body organs like kidneys and liver

  12.
