Today's women uses about 12 beauty products each day, that equals to 126 ingredients applied to our skin continuously. What we must realize is that the skin is our largest organ and that 70% of what we pour on our bodies is absorbed either through ingestion, inhalation, breast milk, placenta skin and mucous membranes of the nose, eyes and mouth.
This is concerning, mainly because although we buy products that look and smell incredibly good, within them are hidden a mixture of dangerous synthetic chemicals, including carcinogens (cancer-causing), teratogenics (birth defects), reproductive toxicants, and endocrine disruptors.
