What's in My Cosmetic Products?

*EDIT*
Also, look out for ***hydroxybenzoic acid***, which is another form of preservative.




Here are some really good resources... Be sure to research for yourself!!!

Ok, excuse my miswording. Paraben is not *highly associated* with cancer. It is possibly or it is hypothesized that paraben may be correlated with an increased occurrence of cancers. So just because you've been using products containing paraben, it doesn't mean that you are going to get cancer. It might increase the risks for you if you use it over a long period of time. The fact is we just don't have enough evidence right now. But you get my point.... it's still nothing good....


This video is NOT meant to accuse any particular product or cosmetic product manufaturer. I'm just sharing some of the facts that I know. Hopefully, it will raise some awareness in the girls or boys out there.

And of course, there's only a limited amount of information that I know, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you for watching~~~

I'm so glad I watched this video. I just found out one of my blushes contains talc, methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, butylparaben, bismuth oxychloride AND carmine! That's like all the ones you mentioned :S So, I was wondering. Should I throw away these products or can I still use them? What did you do with yours?

[echoli]

Hi there!!! Yeah, these ingredients can be found everywhere. I still kept mine. But I don't use them as often as other non-paraben, mineral ones. It's just because I'm such a blush junkie. But if they haven't caused you any irritation yet, you can probably still use it until you replace your collection w/ something not as harsh for your skin.

...thats scary!!, is it really so dangerous :( becuse ivé used produkts whit paraben in ! can i have been got cancer now??

[echoli]

There is a lot of evidence showing that paraben is linked to breast cancer. But it's not like you use products containing paraben, and boom, you get cancer. I'm certain to say that everyone has used products containing paraben some time in their lifetime. You'll probably either need a long period of exposure or be predisposed genetically. It's a matter of probability. I was just trying to raise the awareness.

almost everything on this planet is harmful in one way or another thats pretty much the way of life so bet if all of those preseratives were'nt in makeup very one would be complaning that their makeup rotted to fast

[echoli]

I do agree with you on some level. There's always two sides to everything.

Thank you for making this video! I've been aware of this sort of thing for a few months now and it's good to see some people are making videos to spread the word.

[mettabee]

wow I thought eucerine was a superior brand, I didn't expect to hear it had these kind of ingredients

[vuldafer]

Ok, I'll do that. Thanks so much! ^^
