Girls, when choosing skincare and makeup try avoiding the following chemicals


Avoid these ingredients in all cosmetic products especially on your babies.
1.Sulfates
2.Urea
3.Glycol
4.Ethyl Alchohol
5.Parabens
6.Propylene Glycol(avoid especially in baby wipes because it can be irritating)
7.Fragrances
8.Phthalates(Linked to developmental and reproductive health issues)
9.Dea,Tea and Mea(When combined with nitrates can be highly carcinogenic)
I'm not saying its always best to buy organic or natural products because there are no standard for what(natural means)and it can cause irritation too. Atleast avoid the products in this list. We have to start ridding our bodies of all these chemicals.
I'm not trying to scare you guys, I just want us girls to be informed and knowledgeable about what we put on our skin, which in turn ultimately gets absorbed into our bodies.I know its not going to stop me from buying cosmetics, lord no, but now we can make an educated decision. Cheers to health!
