Jump directly to: conventional view | alternative view | resources | bottom line What you need to know - Conventional View• The study found 22 percent of all cosmetic and skin care products may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane.• It also found that 80 percent of all cosmetic products may be contaminated with one or more carcinogenic impurities. • In addition to 1,4-dioxane, six other major impurities are hydroquinone, ethylene dioxide, formaldehyde, nitrosamines, PAHs, and acrylamides. • The EWG analysis found 1,4-dioxane in a wide variety of cosmetic products on the market, including almost all brands of hair relaxers and more than half of the baby soaps on the market. Contamination levels found were as follows:
• The analysis assessed the ingredient lists of 15,000 cosmetics and other personal care products. • Another impurity, hydroquinone, can potentially contaminate the products used daily by 94 percent of all women and 69 percent of all men, the EWG reported. • To avoid 1,4-dioxane, read ingredient labels and avoid any of the 56 cosmetic ingredients that can contain the contaminant, including "sodium laureth sulfate" and ingredients that include the clauses "PEG," "xynol," "ceteareth," and "oleth." • "One of every five adults is potentially exposed every day to all of the top seven carcinogenic impurities common to personal care product ingredients," the EWG said regarding a 2004 study. What you need to know - Alternative ViewStatements and opinions by Mike Adams, executive director of the Consumer Wellness Center• Common, brand-name skin care products often contain multiple chemical contaminants known to cause cancer, liver disorders and neurological disorders. • I strongly advise consumers to avoid using non-organic cosmetics or skin care products. Switch to trusted, organic products from companies like Dr. Bronner's (www.DrBronner.com) or Pangea Organics (www.PangeaOrganics.com) • Remember that any creams or cosmetics you put on your skin get absorbed into your blood. Don't put anything on your skin that you couldn't safely eat! Bottom lineMany cosmetic products include carcinogenic contaminants in them.Get articles like this delivered to you FREE in our popular email newsletter Related CounterThink Cartoons:
