If you are like most women, you buy your over the counter non organic skin care products with confidence, believing that since your mother and her mother before her used these skin care products that you can too without fear of danger. This belief, it turns out, is unfounded. Think about it for a second: how many of your family members have died of cancer? How many of those were women? Now, consider this: there is a chemical that is very commonly found in “normal” skin care products that is widely linked to causing cancer. Is this a surprise to you? It may be a further surprise to you to find that there is very little government regulation over the skin care industry. The chemical I am talking about, propylene glycol, is regulated very heavily in industrial use. In fact, if you were found to be putting this chemical on your face or skin in a industrial setting, your boss, his boss and the owner of the company would all be subject to heavy fines. How is it then that you are able to putt his same chemical on your face just because it is sold as makeup? If there were ever a stronger argument for using only USDA certified organic skin care products I don’t know it. Knowing that you are using lotion or foundation that has absolutely no artificial, chemical or hormone based ingredients in it would be worth quite a bit.
