Eight Chemicals In Skin & Hair Care Products You Should Never Use
Friday, March 7th, 2008Listed below are the 8 chemicals on the “most wanted” list - the 8 chemicals we most want to see removed from skin and hair products.
1. Propylene Glycol
This is a cheap synthetic petrochemical used as an emulsifying base in creams and lotions to make the skin look smooth, but ultimately it ages the skin faster. The Material Safety Data Sheet tells you to avoid skin contact with it because it’s a skin irritant! It can denature the skin’s protein, leading to poor, saggy skin. It can be absorbed through your skin and potentially cause allergic reaction, and liver and kidney damage. When you see PEG (polyethylene glycol) or PPG (polypropylene glycol) on labels, beware – these are related synthetics.
