Become an Ingredient Detective:
What's Lurking in YOUR
Cosmetics, Personal Care, and Household Products?!
Did you know that .....
- What you put ON your body is likely more important than what you put IN your body?
- The European Union bans or restricts over 1,300 toxic ingredients from their personal care
products, while the US bans or restricts ONLY 11? This list of 11 includes things like
mercury compounds, chloroform, CFC propellants, and “prohibited cattle materials” –
Yikes! The list of 11 does NOT include lead (which is often found in lipsticks) or triclosan (a
chemical "cousin" of Agent Orange -- found in toothpaste, toothbrushes, antibacterial
soaps, and hand sanitizers sold in the US).
- Common toxic ingredients found in things you use every day -- like soaps, shampoos, baby
care products, sunscreen, or household cleaners -- have been linked to cancer, autism,
ADHD, birth defects, miscarriage, infertility, allergies, asthma, eczema, immune deficiency,
endocrine disruption, depression, joint pain, headaches, arthritis, chest pain, etc.
- Up to 60% of what goes on your body's largest organ -- your skin -- is absorbed into your
bloodstream within seconds of application. This number is higher for children, and can be
up to a 100% absorption rate for some areas.
Join us to learn how you can become an "Ingredient Detective" for the products that you, your
family, and pets use every day. You will learn how to read labels and unlock the "mystery" of
ingredients known as fragrance, PEGs, GMOs, SLS, DMDM, CEA, DEA, and phthalates (And
yes, we promise you will be able to pronounce that last one before you leave!). Come find out
about free websites/apps to help you choose the safest sunscreen, cleaning products, and
cosmetics. You will learn how to reduce your "Body Burden" by not introducing additional
harmful chemicals into your bloodstream in the first place. Most importantly, you will learn
that besides exercising and eating healthfully, what goes ON your body also contributes to
your overall health and quality of life.
