ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL: Isopropyl alcohol is found in most all hair color rinses, hand lotions, after shave, fragrances and many other cosmetics. This petroleum derived substance is also used in antifreeze! PROPYLENE GLYCOL (PG): As a "surfactant" or wetting agent and solvent, this ingredient is actually the active component in antifreeze, yet is found in most forms of make-up, hair products, lotions, after shave- deodorants, mouthwashes and toothpaste!!! SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS) & SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (SLES): both are used widely as one of the major ingredients in cosmetics, toothpaste, hair conditioner and about 90% of all shampoos and products that foam. According to the American College of Toxicology states both SLS and SLES can cause malformation in children's eyes. Other research has indicated SLS may be damaging to the immune system and it is possibly the most dangerous of all ingredients in personal care products. IMIDAZOLIDINYL UREA and DMDM HYDANTOIN: These are just two of the many preservatives that release formaldehyde (formaldehyde-donors). Exposure to formaldehyde may cause joint pain, allergies, depression, headaches, chest pains, ear infections, chronic fatigue, dizziness and loss of sleep. It can also aggravate coughs and colds and trigger asthma. Serious side effects include weakening of the immune system and cancer. AND the best part od all of this is....You could be arrested if you dumped these same chemicals into a river -- that would be a violation of federal law. And yet, you put them into your body every single day, and that's not only legal, it's actually encouraged by media coverage, advertisements, department stores, and retailers. WOW!
