Did You Know?. . .
On any given day a consumer may use as many as 25 different cosmetics and personal care products
containing more than 200 different chemical compounds.
Up to 70% of what is applied to the skin is believed to be absorbed into the body. Many of these
chemicals have found their way into our bodies, our breast milk, and our children. Diseases linked to
synthetic chemicals - including breast cancer, testicular cancer, and reproductive problems are on the rise.
Some chemicals found in a variety of cosmetics - including phthalates, acrylamide, formaldehyde, and
ethylene oxide - are listed by the EPA and the state of California as carcinogens or reproductive toxins.
The chemicals in any one consumer products alone are unlikely to cause harm. Unfortunately, we are
repeatedly exposed to industrial chemicals from many different sources on a daily basis, including
cosmetics and personal care products.
One of every 100 products on the market contains ingredients certified by government authorities as
known or probable human carcinogens, including shampoos, lotions, make-up foundations, and lip balms.
This is absolutely unnecessary. Cosmetic companies are smart and innovative enough to make products
that do not jeopardize our health. In fact, many are already required to make safer products in
Europe-showing that they can make the same safer products available for all of us and more than 450
companies have signed the Campaign for safe Cosmetics, a pledge to phase out chemicals of concern and
replace them with safer alternatives.
