NO: Sodium Tallowate (beef fat – yes, to wash away dirt with beef fat left-over from the slaughterhouse; conventional beef is raised with antibiotics, growth hormones, and generally eats feedstock with extremely high pesticide content and sometimes fillers imported from Asia; chemicals tend to store themselves in fat. Manufacturers use beef fat instead of vegetable oil, because its cheap).
-
NO Cocamidopropyl Betaine (synthetic/chemical detergent; prone to contamination w/ cancer causing agents; poss. allergen, skin/eye irritant; linked w/eczema/dermatitis/rash)
-
NO EDTAs (synthetic/chemical preservatives; alters skin structure & allows chemicals to penetrate skin & appear in blood; prone to contam. w/ cancer causing agents; respiratory/skin/eye irritant)
-
NO Petrolatum (synthetic/chemical emollient; made from petroleum pulled up from oil wells just like gasoline and produced in a petrochemical refinery thru catalytic reactions that crack molecular structure; prone to contam. w/ cancer-causing impurities from manufacturing process; banned in EU as a probable carcinogen; studies find petrolatum impurities in tissue of breast cancer patients; hormone disruptor.)
-
NO Mineral Oil (a byproduct of petroleum in the making of gasoline; may cause birth defects; possible carcinogen itself, plus prone to contamination w/other cancer-causing agents; eye/skin irritant; may hinder normal skin respiration by blocking oxygen, while trapping in toxins & wastes; may cause asthma & tumor formation);
-
NO F, D & C Colors (colorants derived from coal tar, a known carcinogen; skin irritant; linked w/ cancer when ingested or applied to skin; some may also contain cancerous heavy metal impurities like lead and arsenic; allergens);
-
NO Propylene Glycol (synthetic/chemical used to trap moisture; petroleum-based, like gasoline; pulled up from oil wells & produced in a refinery through chemical reactions using banned racing fuel; allows chemicals to absorb past skin & into blood; hormone disruptor; suspected neurotoxin & immunotoxin; linked with reproductive problems & mutations in cells;allergen);
-
NO BHT (synthetic/chemical preservative; linked in studies to birth defects, infertility, behavioral problems/hyperactivity in kids; linked to cell mutation & cancer; studies show absorbed through the skin & into blood; linked to disruption of hormones by mimicking estrogen, leading to possible premature sexual development in girls & decrease in sperm in boys/fetuses; banned from infant foods in US; derived from coal tar dye & petroleum; banned from European cosmetics; dermatitis/asthma; best avoided in pregnancy & kids)
-
NO Talc (linked with cancer if inhaled, skin cancer, and ovarian cancer & UTI’s if used in genital area; lung disease; studies found talc inside of ovarian tumors);
-
NO Triclosan (synthetic/chemical anti-bacterial agent; made from an herbicide used to poison weeds; Swedish study found high levels detected in breast milk; hormone disruptor; suspected immunotoxin; may produce cancer-causing dioxins; linked with mutation in cells; reproductive effects; restricted in cosmetics in Japan & Canada).
-
NO Titanium Dioxide (chemically processed/synthetic; classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a possible carcinogen; may cause cell damage; poss. reproductive toxicity; may be bound w/ chemicals like Dimethicone);
-
NO PEGs (synthetic/chemical detergent; made from ethylene oxide, a known human carcinogen per the IARC; prone to contamination w/ other cancer-causing agents, such as dioxane; made from petroleum pulled up from oil wells just like gasoline and produced in a petrochemical refinery through chemical reactions; irritants.)
-
NO Fragrance (harmless-sounding term used to conceal 3000 synthetic chemicals, which are aromatic but not from flower essential oils; mostly from petroleum; many toxic and potentially cancer-causing, including phthalates (classified by EPA as probable carcinogens); hidden from disclosure as “trade secrets”);
