How safe is your make-up? by Kathy Joyce

Many women wear make-up every day. It enhances appearance and can add confidence. However many cosmetics and skin care preparations contain carcinogenic ingredients.  

Foundation creams often contain bentonite which is used to put out fires.It suffocates the flames so that oxygen can't get through to inflame the fire. 

In skincare preparations bentonite suffocates the skin, stopping it from breathing.

Liquid foundations may contain mineral oil which is a potential carcinogenic.

Most of us use a moisturiser every day on our skin in the hope of improving our skin and protecting it from the elements. However the majority of them contain molecules that are to large to enter the pores of the skin. As a result these creams sit on the surface of the skin gradually blocking the pores and glands.

The sweat glands are unable to work properly and the oil glands can't drain effectively resulting in the build up of toxins and bacteria in the skin. This in turn can cause black heads, spots and a dull complexion.

Propylene glycol is also commonly found in skincare products. It's a cosmetic form of mineral oil found in industrial antifreeze, and brake fluid. It acts as a moisture retainer by preventing the escape of water or moisture from the skin.

Material data safety sheets warn against skin contact with propylene glycol as it can be an iritant and cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage.
