Not too long ago there was a TV news report about make-up causing cancer.
Having long relied on liquid foundation....and eye liner to be counted among the living, I googled the topic and the revelations are disturbing.
So is it worth your time to become familiar with complicated chemical terminology and strain to read the mice type ingredients lists on all your personal care products? Definitely.
While we all have appreciated the "better living through chemistry" life we've enjoyed the past century, as with most things, it seems the law of diminishing returns has reared its ugly head.
It is reasonable and intuitive to make a connection between harmful chemical substances in our air, water, food, cleaning and grooming products, and the increased incidence of various cancers, thyroid and hormonal imbalances, and autoimmune disorders, striking at increasingly younger ages.
