People are more aware of the number of toxins we apply on our largest organ – our skin - in the name of comfort and/or beauty. Up to 60% of what you put on your skin will absorb through the skin and into the bloodstream.
Too many of the toiletries and cosmetics we use are hazardous carcinogenic cocktails of synthetic chemicals. Most of the chemicals which go into our toiletries are no different from the harsh toxic chemicals used in industry."
Some of the most dangerous chemicals we put on our bodies in the name of beauty belong to a family of hormone-disrupting chemicals.
The ingredients found in Glam Nation organic skin care products are all picked by hand like the fine wines of the world. Glam Nation organic skin care products are hand crafted giving you the highest quality in Luxurious Organic Skin Care.
The following chemicals are common in your cosmetics and skin care products:
Propylene glycol (PG) is a wetting agent and solvent used in make up, hair care products, deodorants, after shave and is often found in toothpaste. Its also the main ingredient in antifreeze and brake fluid.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) A related agent found in most skin cleansers, is a caustic used to dissolve grease... the same substance you find in oven cleaners.
Isopropyl and Alcohol A poisonous solvent and denaturing (altering the structure of other chemicals). Found in hair colour rinses, body rubs, hand lotions, after shave lotions, fragrances, is also used as a solvent and found in wood finishing lacquers.
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) Used in toothpastes, shampoos and just about every personal cleansing product on the market.
Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is a harsh detergent commonly used as an engine degreaser and garage floor cleaner.
Formaldehyde Used in bubble bath, shampoos, moisturizing lotions and many cosmetics as an inhibiting agent against carcinogenic nitrosamine production. Yet this chemical is a known carcinogen in it's own right! It is also used in vaccines as a preservative and given to our children for goodness sake!
Formaldehyde is a powerful and poisonous toxic substance! It readily penetrates the skin and can cause serious future health concerns and often sensitizes individuals to other chemicals. It is commonly used in agriculture as a foot rot treatment for sheep and cattle and as embalming fluid to preserve bodies.
Please read labels and only apply Glam Nation organic skin care products to your skin.
