1. Placenta: Um...eww? While extracts from
human and cow placenta can give you glowing skin and lustrous locks,
these same extracts in cosmetics also pack a raft of hormones that may
be enough to result in breast growth in toddlers, according to a few
recent case studies, says EWG researchers.
2. Mercury:
Even at low levels, mercury can damage brain function, so why, in these
so-called enlightened times, are they still used in cosmetics? The EWG
found mercury in Paula Dorf mascara, listed as the mercury preservative
"thimerosal." Watch out for mercury in eye drops, as well.
3.
Lead:
We've written at length about the hazards of lead poisoning and how it
can harm a child's developing brain. It's hard to believe, but this
neurotoxin is in Grecian Formula 16 and other black hair dyes for men.
It won't just stay close to your follicles, either; studies have found
lead residues on door knobs and cabinets.
4. Fragrance:
Fragrances fall into a colossal loophole in federal law that doesn't
require companies to list on product labels any of the potentially
hundreds of chemicals in a single product's fragrance mixture, says the
EWG. Because fragrances can contain neurotoxins and are among the top
five allergens ever, the EWG recommends we go the
fragrance-free route.
5. Hydroquinone skin lightener:
Because hydroquionine can cause a skin disease called ochronosis-which
creates disfiguring and irreversible blue-black lesions-even the FDA
warns us to avoid this skin-bleaching chemical, which certainly tells
you something.
6. Nanoparticles: As yet
untested, these tiny little inventions are found in cosmetics in forms
ranging from tiny wire cages (called "buckeyballs") to minuscule bits of
metals used as sunscreens. The kicker? Companies don't have to declare
them on ingredients lists.
7. Pthalates: These
plasticizer chemicals are downright cruel to male sex organs, causing
sperm damage, feminization of baby boys, or infertility. If you have a
bun in your oven, avoid dibutyl phthalate in nail polish. These vile
toxins can also hide under "fragrance" on your product's label, which is
another case for choosing fragrance-free items.
