These scary stats are here to stay!
1)Only 10% of chemicals used in personal care products have ever been tested for human health and safety.
2) The beauty industry is a 62 billion dollar industry that is governed by less than 2 pages of federal law. The last major federal law made to help regulate this industry was 1938...
3) 99% of breast cancer tissue contained parabens
4) The ingredient "fragrance" can include over 3,000 stock chemicals- none that are required to be listed such as phthalates. Phthalates are linked to hormone disruption and low sperm count.
5) Women on average use 12 personal care products per day- exposing their bodies to approx 168 chemicals every single day.
6) Guanine- a common ingredient in mascara is a crystalline material that shimmers--found in crushed fish scales. Also often confused with bat guano (bat poop)!
