Sapevi che i ftalati sono cancerogeni, vietati nell’uso nei giocattoli per bambini, e sono uno degli ingredienti più comuni in molti prodotti per la pelle? Sapevi che la FDA (Federal Drug Adm.) non ha alcun controllo regolamentarto sulle società di cosmetici e consente loro di decidere i propri standard di sicurezza? Non hanno nemmeno bisogno di etichettare completamente gli ingredienti! È difficile da credere, ma è un dato di fatto che gli esperti dicono che sta diventando sempre più chiaro: la maggior parte dei prodotti di cosmetici e di cura personale tradizionali contengono almeno un composto chimico pericoloso, e molti ne contengono molto più di questo. Ci sono tra 5.000 e 10.000 ingredienti attualmente utilizzati in tutto, dall’eyeliner al rossetto, dagli shampoo ai deodoranti che sono composti chimica sintetici, innaturali e artificiali. Molti di questi sono considerati sicuri, ma molti altri sono stati testati e dimostrati come pericolosi e tossici. L’Istituto nazionale per la sicurezza sul lavoro, ad esempio, ha identificato quasi 900 prodotti chimici per la cura personale che sono tossici in un modo o nell’altro. Alcuni causano il cancro. Altri causano interruzioni ormonali. Alcuni sono neurotossine. Altri causano danni agli organi. In Europa, 1.100 di questi materiali pericolosi sono stati banditi dai prodotti di consumo. In America solo 10 sono stati banditi. Dai un’occhiata a questo eccellente e completo sito Web CosmeticsDatabase.com per trovare esattamente quali prodotti chimici sono presenti nei tuoi prodotti per la cura personale e quali sono esattamente i rischi per la salute associati a ciascuno di essi.

did you know there is lead in most
0:02
lipsticks and mercury and most mascaras
0:04
did you know that cancer-causing
0:07
phthalates banned from use in children's
0:09
toys are one of the most common
0:11
ingredients in many skin products did
0:14
you know the FDA has no regulatory
0:16
control over cosmetics companies and
0:19
allows them to decide their own safety
0:21
standards they don't even have to fully
0:23
label ingredients that you already play
0:30
everyday try to look pretty without
0:32
poisoning yourself meet Jackie she's a
0:35
working mom who feels her ordinary looks
0:37
need all the help they can get ok Jackie
0:43
let's see if you can find a cosmetic
0:44
product that doesn't contain toxins and
0:47
cancer-causing chemicals geez can you
0:49
give me a hint
0:49
sorry cosmetic companies don't always
0:51
have to tell you if they contain toxins
0:53
what that's just the way the game works
0:55
here and it's how the game is played for
0:57
you ladies playing along at home Oh
0:59
Jackie you lose you poisoned yourself
1:04
that lipstick contains lead in fact all
1:06
these cosmetics contain
1:08
cancer-causing chemicals you may not
1:09
even have a chance sorry sister that's
1:12
just the way you play try to look pretty
1:14
without poisoning yourself it is hard to
1:17
believe but it is a fact that experts
1:20
say is becoming increasingly clear most
1:23
mainstream cosmetic and personal care
1:25
products contain at least one hazardous
1:28
chemical compound and many contain far
1:30
more than that there are between 5,000
1:33
and 10,000 ingredients currently being
1:36
used in everything from eyeliner and
1:38
lipstick to shampoos and deodorants that
1:40
are synthetic unnatural man-made
1:43
chemical compounds many of these are
1:46
assumed to be safe but many more have
1:48
been tested and proven to be dangerous
1:51
and toxic the National Institute of
1:53
Occupational Safety for example has
1:56
identified almost 900 personal care
1:58
chemicals that are toxic in one way or
2:01
another some cause cancer others cause
2:04
hormone disruption some are neurotoxins
2:07
others cause organ damage in Europe 1100
2:11
of these dangerous materials have been
2:12
banned
2:13
from consumer products in America only
2:16
ten have been banned in a 2006 ewg study
2:20
they analyzed the umbilical cord blood
2:23
of hundreds of newborn infants and found
2:25
an average of 300 toxic synthetic
2:28
chemicals in every baby tested this
2:30
means that these mother's blood streams
2:32
were so full of manmade chemicals from
2:35
their food water air pills vaccines and
2:38
skin products that they're transmitting
2:40
these hundreds of toxic unnatural
2:42
chemicals into the fresh blood of their
2:44
newborns in 2008 ewg performed another
2:48
study on twenty u.s. teenagers who used
2:51
chemical cosmetics all of the girls
2:53
tested positive in their bloodstream for
2:56
over a dozen known toxic chemicals used
2:58
in their cosmetics this means of course
3:01
as any dermatologist will tell you that
3:03
what goes on your skin goes into your
3:05
body and stays there chemicals in
3:08
lotions soaps moisturizers deodorants
3:11
shampoos gels sunscreens creams dyes
3:15
nail polish and removers perfumes
3:17
colognes foundations blushes eyeshadow
3:20
eyeliners mascaras and lipsticks don't
3:24
just get washed away over 70% of what
3:27
touches our skin is absorbed into our
3:30
bodies the average American woman
3:32
absorbs and gains 5 pounds of personal
3:36
care products every year former Miss
3:38
America Susan Jeske has been on a
3:41
mission to alert the world to the
3:42
dangers of cosmetics since she had
3:45
severe health issues resulting from the
3:47
toxic synthetic chemicals in her
3:48
skincare and beauty products she now
3:51
travels around the US and the world
3:53
talking about these issues check out
3:55
this excellent comprehensive website
3:58
cosmetics database calm to find exactly
4:01
what chemicals are in your personal care
4:04
products and exactly what health risks
4:06
have been linked to each here's a short
4:10
list of the top 12 toxic ingredients you
4:12
applied in your home in fact we call
4:14
these the toxic 12 we'll talk about five
4:17
of them in some detail once again check
4:20
these ingredients against the products
4:21
you use first propylene glycol butylene
4:25
glycol or ethylene glycol now run into
4:28
your garage and check your antifreeze
4:30
antifreeze is one of those glycols now
4:33
check your facial cleansers shampoos
4:36
conditioners toothpaste underarm
4:38
deodorant sand baby products these
4:41
glycols act a surfectants wetting agents
4:43
in solvents they penetrate the skin fast
4:46
we can protein and sell your own
4:47
structure they're strong enough to
4:49
remove barnacles from boats the EPA
4:52
warns us not to pour them into our soil
4:54
yet we smear them on our bodies contact
4:56
with these fly calls may cause brain
4:58
liver and kidney malfunction yet about
5:01
1/3 of all the beauty and personal care
5:03
products you use morning afternoon and
5:06
evening contain them and do not have a
5:08
warning label why are these glycols used
5:11
in such abundance one answer they come
5:14
cheap the non-toxic ingredients needed
5:16
to replace them are far more expensive
5:18
now propylene glycol is being added to
5:21
many of our cookies and ice cream it
5:23
keeps them softer you put petroleum in a
5:26
cookie and a hundred years from now
5:28
it'll be soft and tender seconds
5:32
sodium hydroxide this time check under
5:35
your sink check out your Drano or other
5:38
sink and oven cleaners especially check
5:40
the crystal or dry Drano crystal Drano
5:43
is a hundred percent sodium hydroxide
5:45
this is a poison read the warning label
5:49
look at the skull and crossbones
5:51
yeah it's caustic soda line it you'll
5:54
find sodium hydroxide in most common
5:56
toothpastes especially the ones claiming
5:58
total or extra whitening I guess they
6:01
figure if it cleans your drains it'll do
6:03
a good job on your teeth it's also in
6:06
many of your soaps and facial cleansers
6:08
third sodium laureth sulfate sodium
6:11
lauryl sulfate or ammonium Laurel
6:13
sulfate these sulfates are strong
6:15
detergents they're used in garage floor
6:18
cleaners and engine degreasers yeah
6:20
there'll be a 90% get that 90% of your
6:24
beauty and personal care products that
6:25
foam why
6:27
it's the cheapest way to create poems
6:29
they're linked to eye damage depression
6:32
diarrhea skin irritation and even death
6:34
our bodies retain these sulfates for
6:37
extensive periods of time this means
6:39
that even smaller dosages amount up to
6:41
higher and higher levels of toxicity in
6:43
our bodies think of what that means to
6:46
smaller bodies like infants and children
6:48
think of the unborn infants any wonder
6:51
why attention deficit and learning
6:53
disabilities are at epidemic proportions
6:55
for DEA MEA or te a these are hormone
7:00
disrupting chemicals with ties to cancer
7:03
they're restricted in Europe yet used
7:05
freely in the US the EPA says the
7:07
repeated applications result in major
7:09
increases in liver
7:11
breast and kidney cancer the risk is
7:14
significantly increased in children v PE
7:18
G or polyethylene glycol this is a
7:22
carcinogenic petroleum compound that
7:25
reduces the skins natural moisture
7:27
prolonged use seriously ages the skin in
7:30
addition it has links to all forms of
7:32
cancer the higher the PG content like PE
7:36
G 20 50 100 or 120 the worse it becomes
7:41
6 DM DM or urea these are preservatives
7:46
that release formaldehyde 7 mineral oil
7:50
it's another petroleum product that
7:52
coats the skin like saran wrap baby oil
7:55
is 100 percent mineral oil 8 triclosan
8:00
is a synthetic antibacterial with a
8:04
chemical structure similar to Agent
8:06
Orange the EPA registers it as a
8:09
pesticide 9 parabens or anything that
8:13
has paraben as part of its name
8:15
they are hormone disrupting chemicals 10
8:21
isopropyl alcohol it ages and dries the
8:24
skin promoting wrinkles and brown spots
8:27
11 F B and C color pigments these are
8:31
synthetic colors from coal tar base for
8:35
the highest mark on the toxic scale well
8:38
fragrances they may contain up to 4,000
8:42
ingredients animal urine is most often
8:45
used to create the desired smell well
8:48
those are the toxic 12 there's another
8:51
hundred or so that should receive
8:52
dishonorable mention additional toxicity
8:55
information can be found at Safe
8:56
Cosmetics org check it out by the way
9:00
guess which occupational group has the
9:03
youngest death rates you probably
9:05
guessed it cosmetologist that's
9:07
obviously due to increased exposure to
9:09
these chemicals just an FYI lawyers have
9:12
the next youngest death rate you can
9:15
figure that one out for yourself you
9:17
might be asking why this is allowed to
9:18
take place easy answer in 1938 the
9:23
cosmetic industry was granted self
9:25
regulation nothing has changed since
9:28
that time we have twenty five thousand
9:30
chemicals marketed without government
9:31
intervention regardless of what the
9:33
tests show this is probably a good place
9:36
to warn you about companies who claim
9:38
their products are safe they'll tell you
9:40
not to panic that they use food grade or
9:43
cosmetic grade glycol sulfates solvents
9:46
or parabens they'll tell you how mild
9:48
they are and that the critics are going
9:50
overboard it's the same thing some said
9:53
years ago about smoking smoking can't
9:55
hurt you smoking is not a threat to help
9:58
well that certainly wasn't true a few
10:01
years from now additional information
10:03
will show that these same toxic products
10:06
cause a threat just like cigarettes and
10:08
smoking women use nearly 200 toxic
10:11
ingredients daily in the routine and
10:13
menus nearly a hundred these toxins even
10:17
in mild forms mount up stay in our
10:19
bodies store in our cells and break down
10:22
our immune system can I tell you I love
10:26
my Pantene pro-v of the dozen or so
10:29
personal care products that I use every
10:31
day it's the one I can't live without
10:32
says it gives my dull hair at the
10:34
ultimate cool shine how does it do that
10:37
I was wondering that while I was
10:39
lathering into my hair one day sorry I
10:41
read the ingredients right here sodium
10:44
laureth sulfate tetrasodium EDTA methyl
10:48
isothiocyanate what is this stuff I
10:52
this list to some scientists who know
10:53
how to read it turns out my Pantene
10:56
contains a chemical linked to cancer and
10:58
lots of other products in my bathroom
11:00
from sunscreen to lipstick and even baby
11:02
shampoo also contain chemicals linked to
11:04
cancer or other problems like learning
11:06
disabilities asthma and even damaged
11:08
sperm like most parents I try to keep my
11:11
family safe but now I find out my
11:13
bathroom was a mine full of toxins what
11:16
are we supposed to do
11:17
I had my body's toxicity levels tested
11:20
and I'm loaded with things like mercury
11:22
flame retardants
11:23
triclosan and lead we all are even
11:27
babies are being born pre polluted now I
11:30
know we can't live in a lead-free world
11:32
but do we have to put lead in our
11:33
lipstick I don't know maybe it's my
11:36
fault
11:37
maybe I just bought the wrong thing at
11:39
the store the choices seem endless I can
11:42
get lipstick in 49 shades or shampoo for
11:45
hair that's too dry oily fine limp or
11:48
frizzy but what about the choices that
11:50
really matter like the choice to buy
11:52
products that are safe it turns out the
11:55
important decisions don't happen when I
11:57
choose to take a product off the shelf
11:59
they happen when companies and
12:01
governments decide what products should
12:02
go on the shelves so who are these
12:05
companies this is Procter and Gamble
12:08
third one's offering the Herbal Essences
12:11
the number two shampoo in the country
12:13
it contains toxic petrochemicals made
12:16
from oil
12:16
since when is oil and herb on cosmetics
12:20
labels words like herbal natural even
12:23
organic have no legal definition that
12:27
means that anybody can put anything in a
12:29
bottle and call it natural and they do I
12:31
mean can you imagine a top seller called
12:33
Petro essences gross
12:35
what's even nastier are hair relaxers
12:38
marketed to five-year-olds and skin
12:40
whitening creams
12:41
these are super toxic both in their
12:45
ingredients and in the message they send
12:47
about what beauty is
12:48
oh here's Estee Lauder offering me a
12:51
chance to help find a cure for breast
12:52
cancer that's nice but wait they're also
12:55
using chemicals linked to cancer don't
12:59
you think the best way for Estee Lauder
13:00
to fight cancer is to stop using those
13:02
chemicals in the first place today big
13:05
cosmetics companies say the doses of
13:07
poison and the products are small enough
13:08
to be harmless yeah maybe if you use
13:10
them once a year I guess they never get
13:13
out and see that the products are being
13:14
used and combined with other products
13:15
every day a little toxic dose under your
13:18
arms a little more on your hair on your
13:20
lips and workers in nail and hair salons
13:22
get dosed all day long so the industry
13:26
is used to doing things this way and
13:27
they can because even now that
13:30
scientists have linked the chemicals
13:32
they're using to all sorts of problems
13:33
there are no laws to get rid of them
13:36
you're thinking really come on nobody's
13:39
making sure that the stuff we smell all
13:41
over our bodies is safe nope the FDA
13:44
doesn't even assess the safety of
13:46
personal care products or their
13:48
ingredients since 1938 they've banned
13:51
just eight out of over 12,000
13:54
ingredients used in cosmetics they don't
13:56
even require that all of the ingredients
13:58
be listed on the label now this is an
14:01
example where we can all agree a little
14:03
more government action would be helpful
14:05
this lack of regulation leaves a huge
14:07
hole that the cosmetics industry is all
14:10
too happy to fill they set up their own
14:12
committee to self-police their products
14:14
and compliance with their
14:16
recommendations is voluntary so the
14:19
cosmetics industry is making the rules
14:21
and then deciding whether or not to
14:23
follow them so you see it isn't our
14:26
fault that these toxic products are in
14:28
our bathrooms it's a whole broken system
14:30
that's ignoring the simple rule toxics
14:32
in toxics out but we're not helpless
14:36
there are resources online that we can
14:38
use to protect ourselves by identifying
14:40
the best possible choices in the store
