Toxins in Personal Care Products: How to Make Better Choices

Did you know that the United States only bans or restricts 11 chemicals from being used in personal care products? In fact, US law does not require cosmetic products and ingredients, other than color additives, to have FDA approval before they go on the market. This means that thousands of chemicals that have not been tested for safety by any regulating authority are in products sitting on store shelves right now.

From foundations to powders, from lotions to lipsticks, the list of chemicals used in personal care products is long and downright concerning. If you take a glance at our Ingredients to Avoid List, you will see some of the most common ingredients to avoid, all of which are permitted to be sold in products all over the country.

These harmful chemicals serve many purposes in products, but at a detriment to health. Parabens (methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, etc.) are used as preservatives to extend shelf life, but they have been found to be endocrine disruptors and can actually mimic estrogen.

Conventional cosmetics include synthetic dyes, which can many times be derivatives of petroleum and may contain heavy metals, coal tar (a known carcinogen), and other toxic ingredients. Concerned consumers are increasingly becoming aware of these ingredients, and are searching for better alternatives. That’s where Pure Haven Essentials comes in.
