Products to Avoid
• Anti-aging creams with lactic, glycolic, AHA and BHA acids.

• Hair relaxers, perms and dyes, especially dyes with ammonia, peroxide,
PPD (p-phenylenediamine diaminobenzene), all dark permanent hair
dyes. Hair relaxers contain estrogen from placenta and can lead to early
puberty and breast cancer.

• Liquid hand soaps with triclosan.

• Nail polish and removers with formaldehyde.

• Skin lighteners with hydroquinone or mercury.

Products to Avoid

• Nano-technology — Much touted, not regulated, no knowledge of long-
term effects as products penetrate deeply into skin, even into organs.

• Lipstick — An estimated 61 percent of lipsticks on the market contain
lead, for which there are no safe levels.

• Parabens — Used as a preservative, known to be toxic and can cause
skin reactions, affect hormones and have been found in breast cancer
tumors.

Products to Avoid

• • Phenoxyethanol — An aromatic ether alcohol used as a preservative in cosmetics, ointments,
toiletries and wipes. The manufacturer says “harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through
the skin. May cause reproductive defects. Severe eye and skin irritant.”

• • Propylene Glycol — A petroleum derivative used to maintain moisture in products, it can
penetrate the skin to weaken protein and cell structure. Can also remove barnacles from boats. Can
cause brain, liver and kidney abnormalities.

• • PABA — Used in sunscreens, can cause photo-allergic reactions including acne and painful, pus-
filled blisters. Banned in many countries.

• • Phthalates — Found in PVC plastic such as shower caps and curtains, fragrances and some nail
polish. Linked to birth defects, especially in male infants.

Products to Avoid

• • DEAs (Diethanolamine) — A wetting agent in shampoo that creates a
rich lather and gives lotions a creamy consistency. Not harmful alone but
can react with other chemicals to form a potent carcinogen called NDEA,
linked to stomach, liver, esophagus and bladder cancer.

• • Sodium Laurel or Laureth Sulphate — a detergent used in shampoo to
create foam, often described as “comes from coconut.” Causes rashes and
hair loss.

• • PEG (Polyethylene Glycol) — Potentially carcinogenic petroleum product
used in cleansers to dissolve oil. Can also reduce skin’s moisture factor and
increase the appearance of aging.
