Is Your Make Up Aging Your
Skin and Making You Sick?
Women are unknowingly exposing
themselves to some 100 chemicals every morning when applying make up. In
fact, many lipsticks, creams, eye shadows, foundations, nail polish and
perfumes have been regularly found to contain toxic chemicals known to cause
infertility and cancer.
Yet, according to the Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) Handbook, which is the "bible" of regulation and
standards laid down in the US for the manufacture of food and drugs,
including cosmetic and skin care products,
cosmetic manufacturers are not required to register with the FDA.
Even if they were required to
register with the FDA, it wouldn't make much of a difference because
according to their handbook, almost any ingredient may be allowed in
cosmetics and perfumes:
"By law, FDA does not have
the authority to approve cosmetic products or ingredients, except for
color additives.
"With the exception of color
additives and a few prohibited ingredients, a cosmetic manufacturer
may, on his own responsibility, use essentially any raw material as a
cosmetic ingredients and market that product without approval.
"Although not prohibited by
law or regulation, in addition, the manufacturers of cosmetic fragrance
products have voluntarily agreed to not use or to limit maximum use
levels of certain selected ingredients which have been found to cause
depigmentation, irritant, neurotoxic or phototoxic or other allergic
reactions."
Mercury in Cosmetics
The FDA's handbook on Mercury in
cosmetics state:
"Mercury compounds are
readily absorbed through the skin on topical application and tend to
accumulate in the body. They may cause allergic reactions, skin
irritation, or neurotoxic manifestations. The use of mercury
compounds as cosmetic ingredients is limited to eye area cosmetics
at concentrations not exceeding 65 parts per million (0.0065 percent) of
mercury calculated as the metal (about 100 ppm or 0.01 percent
phenylmercuric acetate or nitrate) and provided no other effective and
safe preservative is available for use."
Nitrosamines in Cosmetics
And this from the FDA handbook:
"Cosmetics containing as
ingredients amines or amino derivatives, particularly di- or
triethanolamine, may form nitrosamines if they also contain an
ingredient which acts as a nitrosating agent as, for example,
2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol (Bronopol, Onyxide 500),
5-bromo-5-nitro-1,3-dioxane (Bronidox C) or
tris(hydroxymethyl)nitromethane (Tris Nitro), or if they are
contaminated with a nitrosating agent, e.g., sodium nitrite. Amines and
their derivatives are mostly present in creams, cream lotions, hair
shampoos and cream hair conditioners. The nitrosation may occur
during manufacture or during product storage.
"Many nitrosamines have been
determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals. They have also been
shown to penetrate the skin. Nitrosamine contamination of cosmetics
became an issue in early 1977. In a study of 29 cosmetic creams and
lotions, N-Nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) was determined in 27.
"FDA has urged cosmetic
manufacturers to voluntarily remove from cosmetic any ingredient which
may combine with others to form NDELA and to conduct additional testing
to determine why cosmetics become contaminated with NDELA."
In other words, cosmetic
manufacturers can do as they please. But wait, there's more harmful
chemicals that the FDA suggests manufactures should avoid, but doesn't
require them to eliminate:
"Because of its neurotoxic
effect and ability to penetrate human skin, hexachlorophene (HCP) may be
used only when an alternative preservative has not been shown to be as
effective."
And the handbook lists more
hazardous chemicals that are prohibited as cosmetic ingredients EXCEPT when
unintentional contamination due to the manufacturing process, yet there is
nothing in place to regulate the manufacturing process to prevent the
contamination:
- Bithionol because of its likelihood of
causing photo-contact sensitization
- Halogenated salicylanilides (di-, tri-,
metabromsalan and tetrachlorosalicylanilide) because of their potential
of causing photocontact sensitization.
- Chloroform because of its animal
carcinogenicity and likely hazard to human health.
- Vinyl chloride as an ingredient of
aerosol products because of its carcinogenic effect in humans and
animals.
- Zirconium-containing complexes in
aerosol cosmetic products because of their toxic effect on lungs,
including granulomas.
- Methylene chloride because of its animal
carcinogenicity and likely hazard to human health.
And that's just a small sampling
of what you are putting on your face every day.
BREAKING NEWS!!!
The FDA is taking steps to force manufactures
to put warning labels on virtually all skin care and cosmetics because
of the harmful chemicals found in the products.
