Beauty Health Tips- Cosmetics
Data has been gathered on adolescent girls.
As women, we too, should be concerned.
Are ingredients in personal care products actually harmful?
Some ingredients in cosmetics can be harmful when put on your skin because they can go into your body.
There are different ingredients in products that the consumers don’t know about. There are so many products that companies are making and not all of them get checked for safety.
When they don’t do something, some people can have allergic reactions and health problems – some even linked to cancer. When complaints reach to the FDA, they do not take the products off the shelves unless many more people complain. Then the FDA might consider it. In contrast, in the EU (European Union), thousands of ingredients have been taken out of cosmetics, yet in the US only eight ingredients have been removed or banned!
Adolescent exposures to cosmetic chemicals of concern
Since your body is changing as a girl, when you use a product it is more likely to get into the body. Since young girls are experimenting with different products they expose themselves to more harmful things. According to the article I have quoted below, teens use about17 products daily and adults use about 12. This would include deodorant, lotion, hair products and make up.
Article- Laboratory tests reveal adolescent girls across America are contaminated with chemicals commonly used in cosmetics and body care products. Environmental Working Group (EWG) detected 16 chemicals from 4 chemical families - phthalates, triclosan, parabens, and musks - in blood and urine samples from 20 teen girls aged 14-19. Studies link these chemicals to potential health effects including cancer and hormone disruption. These tests feature first-ever exposure data for parabens in teens, and indicate that young women are widely exposed to this common class of cosmetic preservatives, with 2 parabens, methylparaben and propylparaben, detected in every single girl tested.
This work represents the first focused look at teen exposures to chemicals of concern in cosmetics, exposures that occur during a period of accelerated development. Adolescence encompasses maturation of the reproductive, immune, blood, and adrenal hormone systems, rapid bone growth associated with the adolescent "growth spurt," shifts in metabolism, and key changes to brain structure and function. Alterations in an array of sex hormones, present in the body at levels as low as one part per billion (ppb), or even one part per trillion (ppt), guide this transformation to adulthood. Emerging research suggests that teens may be particularly sensitive to exposures to trace levels of hormone-disrupting chemicals like the ones targeted in this study, given the cascade of closely interrelated hormonal signals orchestrating the transformation from childhood to adulthood
During this window of vulnerability to toxic assault, adolescent girls typically experiment with an increasing number and variety of body care products. Teen study participants used an average of nearly 17 personal care products each day, while the average adult woman uses just 12 products daily. Thus, teens may unknowingly expose themselves to higher levels of cosmetic ingredients linked to potential health effects at a time when their bodies are more susceptible to chemical damage.
Cosmetics and other personal care products are an alarming example of government and industry failures to protect public health. Federal health statutes do not require companies to test products or ingredients for safety before they are sold. As a result, nearly all personal care products contain ingredients that have not been assessed for safety by any accountable agency, and that are not required to meet standards of safety…
Teens should make healthy choices for themselves by reducing the number of products they use. Check out the Shopper’s Guide to Safe Cosmetics to select on www.ewg.org
