Toxic Beauty: What You’re Really Putting on Your Skin

We love our beauty routines, but the reality is… they might be doing more harm than good. From makeup to moisturizers, our personal care products (PCPs) are loaded with chemicals that slip right into our bodies.

How Much Are We Using?

• The average teenage girl uses 17 personal care products every day.

• The average adult woman uses 12 personal care products daily.

• The average adult male uses 7 personal care products each day.
  

Absorption Through the Skin

• 30% of what enters our body comes through our skin.

• We absorb up to 60% of what we put on our skin.

• About 30% of what is meant to exit our body leaves through the skin—but toxins can block this process.
  

The Industry Behind the Products

• The cosmetics and PCPs industry is a $35 billion powerhouse, largely unregulated for decades.

• There are 10,500 chemicals used in personal care products, yet only 11% have been tested for safety.

• Over 200 ingredients banned in the EU for health hazards are still allowed in U.S. products.

• Not a single ingredient needs FDA approval before hitting the shelves.
  

The Shocking Truth

• On average, we absorb up to 5 pounds of chemical toxins into our bodies every year just from personal care products.
  

Let that sink in… 😉 Your daily routine may be silently poisoning you, and it’s time to start reading labels, choosing safer alternatives, and protecting your body from unnecessary toxins.
