Cosmetics cause cancer, damage unborn foetus, destroy your skin and make you fat. It’s not just women, many men’s cosmetic products are just as bad.
Parabens (and oxybenzone) are EDCs endocrine (hormone) disrupting chemicals widely used as preservatives in the cosmetic, pharmaceuticals, and food industries because of their antimicrobial properties. We are paying for the huge profits of cosmetic companies, in pain suffering and early death.
When Oxybenzone is exposed to sunlight it changes the wavelength of short wavelength UV light to a longer wavelength. The energy released by the process generates free radicals of oxygen, peroxide, percarbonate and perchloride,
The free radicals have 10 times higher oxidation potential than bleach and will kill all bacteria. The free radicals will also oxidise and age your skin and is the reason why all UV screens are very, very toxic. The best and safest option is a sunblock that just stops the light from reaching your skin. Sun blocks usually contain Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide, do not use the products containing nanoparticles.
Just Stop It
