10 Most Hazardous Cosmetic Toxins You Need to Watch Out For

Maybe you don’t appreciate the blessing you have now. Maybe that imperfect skin you have is much better than the one you will get with time if you continue using cosmetic products blindly. Imagine one day you will wake up and look in the mirror and all you see is a dried skin that is completely irritated, red, itchy and full of ugly whiteheads and blackheads.

And trust me this is just the beginning. You must be scared and frightened as no lady in the world would like to see her skin that damaged, right? Unfortunately, beauty remains the one and only goal that each and every lady out there is willing to attain.

If you are asked to swap makeup products for natural versions, your answer is definitely a big NO even if you are aware of the harm and damage these products can cause your skin. This answer is expected as they’ve totally made you believe that beauty products are what make you look magically beautiful and young again.

The mascara that takes your eyelashes to new heights and makes them super attractive, the lipstick that makes your pout pop seductively as hell, and foundation that makes your skin like that of a baby covering all its imperfections. Why would you give all those things up after all?

#1 – Cosmetic Toxin : Imidazolidinyl Urea

Gabis

Imidazolidinyl Urea is mostly found in water-based cosmetics with a concentration of 0.1-5 percent, such as deodorants, hair dyes, shaving creams, and also face masks.

When you apply any of these products mentioned, you are allowing Imidazolidinyl Urea, which is known as a highly water-soluble chemical, to stay on the skin for hours and may even dive deeper when absorbed by your dermal cells.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory has defined the Imidazolidinyl Urea to be problematic as it is allergen and toxicant in humans.
