If you take the time to check the label on any of your cosmetic products, you are sure to be incredibly surprised by what you see. After all, most people do not stop to think or consider about just how many chemicals in cosmetics are used, but it is quite astounding when you actually figure it out.

1. Learning About the Use of Chemicals in Cosmetics
If you take the time to check the label on any of your cosmetic
products, you are sure to be incredibly surprised by what you see.
After all, most people do not stop to think or consider about just how
many chemicals in cosmetics are used, but it is quite astounding
when you actually figure it out.
You will nearly always find a long list of chemical ingredients in tiny
print on any of your cosmetic products, and chances are that
somewhere in the middle of all these technical chemical terms, is the
simple word ‘fragrance’, or at least something remotely similar to this.
The Most Common Chemicals in Cosmetics
There are a few types of chemicals in cosmetics that are used more
often than others, and they are: phthalates, musks, and allergic
reactions. With phthalates, these are found in nearly three-quarters of
name-brand cosmetics products, and what phthalates really are is
common plasticizing ingredients that are found to be linked to birth
defects in the reproductive system of boys at exposure levels that are
typical to about one-quarter of women.
This means that if you are using cosmetics products that contain
phthalates, that you are actually at risk of passing on birth defects to
your unborn children, which is quite obviously a very frightening
concept.
Another of the most commonly used chemicals in cosmetics is
musks, and artificial musks end up actually accumulating in our
bodies, and they are often then detected in breast milk and blood,
and therefore can be passed on to children in utero, as well as those
after birth who are being breastfed. There are nitromusks and
polycyclic musks, to be more specific, and each has its own results.
Nitromusks are those which are more often linked to skin irritation,
sensitization, and even cancer, while the polycyclic musks are
considered as being a sort of alternative to nitromusks and as of yet
have not been shown to have any negative side effects.

2. How to Avoid Chemicals in Cosmetics
Although it is generally impossible to avoid all chemicals in cosmetic
products, there are certain things that you can do in order to avoid
them as best as possible. For instance, the best idea is that you
choose products that are free of fragrance, and make sure that you
always take the time to read ingredient labels very carefully, because
it can be easy to be tricked.
For instance, the term ‘fragrance-free’ does not necessarily mean that
the product is actually free of fragrance chemicals, but instead, a
fragrance may be masking a chemical scent in order to create an
illusion of the product being fragrance free.
