Why Knowing About Harmful Ingredients You Are Using is Very Important
Europe, Canada and Japan Ban Over 1,400 ingredients while the U.S. bans less than 30
Congress has not given the FDA needed authority to ban more.
What you put on your skin, or inhale, can be more dangerous than what you eat
It’s absorbed into your blood within 26 seconds without being filtered through your digestive system.
Your Toxic Ingredient Time Bomb Is Ticking
The more toxic ingredients you’re exposed to, the more they accumulate over time, and the more toll they take on your health. At first your energy level or short term memory might seem a little less sharp. Then you have a few more aches and pains. At some point, your skin and hair starts to look duller. Then you start getting sick a little more often, and then your overall health begins to suffer.
