What’s in a skincare routine? Many products on our bathroom shelves include long lists of ingredients impossible to understand for most.
Hiding behind fancy names are parabens (used as preservatives), silicones (used to give the perception of softening your skin) and synthetic fragrances (composed of many unknown toxic chemicals that can be harmful to you).
Although common, together these bad boys are a cocktail of allergens, endocrine disruptors and irritants.Here's what they do more specifically.
1. Parabens
Used as preservatives with the potential effect of hormone imbalance. Can be found in almost everything from your facial cleanser and creams to your deodorant.
2. Silicones
Used in a variety of cosmetics to soften, smooth and moisturize. Suspected endocrine disrupter and reproductive toxicant.
3. Sulfates
Essentially a strong detergent and is what makes your products foam, lather, and bubble.
4. Perfumes
Made up of many different and unlabelled ingredients. Essentially, a potential cocktail of allergens, endocrine disruptors and irritants.
