Toxic Ingredients In Cosmetics: The 10 Products You Should Never Buy Again.
The magazine's blacklist What to choose something to be afraid of.
It identifies cosmetic products that contain ingredients harmful to health.
Not less than 400 beauty and hygiene products have ingredients in their composition dangerous for your health.
In this long list, some are particularly harmful because they combine several dangerous molecules ...
... or worse because they are aimed at a vulnerable audience like pregnant women, babies and children.
You might think that manufacturers are avoiding endangering the vulnerable population, and not at all! Look :
Allergens in baby products
We are sometimes very far from this objective. Some manufacturers continue to sell products intended for babies or children that contain MIT.
What is MIT? Methylisothiazolinone is a recognized allergen which distinguished itself by receiving the award of "allergen of the year 2013".
Nice to think of kids making them allergic, right?
Unfortunately that's not all ...
On the shelves of supermarkets and pharmacies, there are also products containing endocrine disruptors.
Guess who their target is? The so-called sensitive populations precisely!
Without further ado, here are the 10 products with toxic ingredients you should never buy again :
1. Activilong Magic Spray Junior
Activilong Ultra-Smoothing Magic Junior Spray contains ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, cyclopentasiloxane and BHT.
This is the magic formula to put 3 endocrine disruptors in one product.
Good performance !
And unfortunately, we can not trust the reassuring words "paraben free" or "organic sweet almond" that appear on the packaging.
2. Avène cold cream
In the viewfinder of What to choose, is also the Avène cold cream that parents know well to apply to the skin of their babies and children.
Bad news, this cream may leave the skin soft but it also leaves an endocrine disruptor and phenoxyethanol.
The latter ingredient is considered toxic to the little ones by the National Medicines Safety Agency.
3. Dexeryl cream
Also on the dock, Dexeryl cream which contains propylparaben.
In this regard, Pierre Fabre laboratories explains that this cream is not a cosmetic product but a medicine.
This medicine is supposedly "indicated in the adjunct treatment of dry skin conditions in certain dermatoses such as atopic dermatitis, ichthyotic conditions and psoriasis.
Apart from these authorized medical indications, the use of the drug is not recommended, since the laboratory, having not carried out clinical studies, cannot guarantee either the efficacy or the safety of the drug. "
It is the laboratory itself which says it: it is better to avoid it to hydrate the skin or protect the baby's buttocks from irritation!
For baby's skin, nothing beats the liniment that you can make yourself by following this simple recipe.
4. Elancyl stretch mark cream
Pregnant women are not spared either. Indeed, they should avoid Elancyl stretch mark prevention cream.
Why ? Because it contains cyclopentasiloxane, not recommended during pregnancy.
Instead of applying this chemical cocktail to the skin, we recommend this natural treatment against stretch marks.
5. Precious Water Purifying Gel
Some products are even stronger because they contain 4 to 5 unwanted ingredients.
A hell of a cocktail that is very harmful to health!
In this category, we find the purifying gel Eau Précieuse, intended for teenagers.
In this anti-pimple formula, there are 2 endocrine disruptors and 2 allergens: MIT and MICT.
To fight acne, nothing beats a homemade product!
Instead, we recommend these 11 effective natural acne recipes.
6. Klorane shower gel
And just because you buy your product at a pharmacy or drugstore at a high price does not mean that you are guaranteed to have products that respect your health. The proof with the Klorane brand. Indeed, the nourishing shower gel without soap from Klorane is no better. It also contains endocrine disruptors.
7. Aussie's Intensive Miracle Treatment
Also's Miracle Intensive Care boasts of repairing your hair and giving it shine and suppleness.
But the real tour de force that this hair treatment succeeds is to combine 2 allergens (MIT and MICT) and 2 endocrine disruptors.
8. Yves Rocher Sun Spray
Yves Rocher sun spray also breaks records with 4 endocrine disruptors in its ingredients.
The whole family will enjoy it during the holidays ...
If you are looking for 100% natural sun protection for the whole family, try this homemade recipe instead.
9. Carrefour intimate wipes
And Carrefour intimate wipes are supposed to bring daily freshness to our intimate hygiene. But that's not all. The sodium lauryl sulfate they contain has the particularity of being ... irritating! Not very pleasant, right?
10. Hair coloring
Finally, the last of this "top 10" is not a product but a category: I named hair dyes.
Indeed, we must also be wary of hair dyes which often contain allergens such as MIT, MCIT and p-phenylenediamine.
Nothing illegal, however, since these ingredients are only prohibited in cosmetic products that do not rinse.
But admit that the exposure time of a color gives them plenty of time to penetrate the epidermis. Your turn to judge !
