Why should you switch cosmetics products? What will you notice when you choose green beauty?

A new study led by researchers at UC Berkeley  has demonstrated how taking even a short break from various chemicals cosmetics, shampoos, and other personal care products and choose green beauty, can lead to  such a quick change not only on your skin but on your overall health!

For example: substantial drop in the levels of hormone-disrupting chemicals present within the body.

The results from the study were published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.

Researchers gave 100 women various personal care products that were labeled to be free of common chemicals including phthalates, parabens, triclosan, and oxybenzone. These chemicals are used regularly in almost all conventional personal care products such as cosmetics, soap, sunscreen, shampoo, conditioner, and other hair products, and animal studies have shown that they directly interfere with the body’s endocrine system.

Because women are the primary consumers of many personal care products, they may be disproportionately exposed to these chemicals.

But what happened when they switch and choose green beauty?….

Results

After just a three-day trial with the girls using only the no chemical products, urine samples showed a significant drop in the level of chemicals in the body. Methyl and propyl parabens, commonly used as preservatives in cosmetics, dropped 44 and 45 percent, metabolites of diethyl phthalate, used often in perfumes, dropped by 27 percent, and both triclosan and benzophenone-3 fell 36 percent.

One of the goals of our study was to create awareness among the participants of the chemicals found in everyday products, to help make people more conscious about what they’re using.   Seeing the drop in chemical levels after just three days shows that simple actions can be taken, such as choosing products with no chemicals, and make a difference.

And the beautiful results, in any word, was how quickly their skin got cleaner, softer and glowing!

What Can You Do?

Well, you can be sure to check the labels on any products you purchase. Most personal care products contain a list of ingredients and you can also opt for more natural and organic products.

The less demand for these chemically-laden products there is, the less these chemicals will be used. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: VOTE WITH YOUR MONEY! We have the power to create the type of world we want. Be the change.
