Summary

Most of us have NO IDEA about what’s in the beauty and skin care product we used this morning. We’re either uninformed or unconcerned with safety and often believe that ‘they’ are watching out for us.

Thank you for this article. There are so many products that are harmful to us and many people just focus on the products they ingest. I always use skin products that are 100% natural and avoid harmful chemicals. The most important screening I do is looking for that alcohol content in these products that dry up your skin and hair. Our skin is the largest organ of our body and people forget to protect it. I hope many people will read this and use your information for future purchasing decisions. Even if it costs a little more money, your body's health is worth it.

Thanks for the warnings -- this is astonishing! I guess I need to toss through my bathroom cabinet!

I totally agree with you on this, not only are these product damaging to us but the environment. SLS is one that I live without and always watch for cause I have dry skin and this stuff will strip any moisture you have. That stuff was originally created to clean oil spills off the garage floor, ain't no way it is going on my skin or hair. Why do you think manufacturers came out with CONDITIONER, to combat the effects of SLS!

Very good list of things to avoid putting on our skin. Anti-aging products for our skin and looking for ageless tips is really summed up in something else you've said - something like, the best supplements for anti-aging aren't supplements at all. They are organic and come from the ground, like berries!

Oh my goodness. You are making me read every label! Just kidding...I knew we were getting a lot of trash, but not this much. This is especially bad for skin on those of us who are a little older. Our skin needs less of poisons and more of nutrients.
