Could Beauty Products Be Hazardous to Your Health?

20 February 2002 - Most people use a variety of shampoos, moisturizers, creams and soaps every day. After concerns that many of these products could contain harmful chemicals, companies have started marketing "all-natural" items. "What you're putting on your skin can go into your bloodstream," said Prescott aesthetician Claudia Keith, owner and founder of Suis for Face and Body, an all-natural line of beauty products. "It can go into your tissues and it's one area of our lives that you need to be aware of." Keith said people need to be aware of ingredients like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, DEA (Diethanolamine) and Triclosan. These are common ingredients found in a variety of beauty products and can be toxic. "What we're literally doing is stripping the skin from its natural lipids, cholesterol and all the things that the skin is meant to do," Keith said. "It's our largest organ on the body." The push for all-natural beauty products is especially prevalent on the Internet. One web site states that certain preservatives can act like formaldehyde and irritate the skin. It also says Triclosan is registered as a pesticide with the Environmental Protection Agency. Another site claims Sodium Lauryl Sulfate has a degenerative effect on cells.
