3. My teen beauty routine:
20 products a day; 230 chemicals
• 17 carcinogens
• 26 hormone-disrupting chemicals
• 15 persistent bio-accumulative toxins
• 15 fragrance mixtures
• Less than half of chemicals assessed for safety
4. Why are we concerned about multiple daily exposures
to low levels of toxic chemicals in cosmetics?
Low doses are adding up – average woman uses 12 products a day
containing 180 chemical ingredients
Some chemicals interfere with hormones and disrupt normal development
at very low doses
Chemicals and genes can interact to cause disease
Mixtures of chemicals can have enhanced toxicity
Early-life chemical exposures can cause health problems later in life
Chemicals are ending up where they’re not supposed to be – inside us
5. Teen Girls Body Burden of Hormone Altering Chemicals
Urine samples from 20 teen girls aged 14-19 detected: 13
hormone disrupting chemicals on average in each girl.
• phthalates
• triclosan
• parabens
• musks
