[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Well, it’s shocking to see that title, right? Sigh! unfortunately, that’s true that we’ve all been a victim of scams and frauds at some points. When it comes to physical appearance and beauty, we all are very sensitive. The complex we have for bright and white skin has turned us into maniacs that we are now willing to do anything so that we can look like white people. Some say, there’s no harm to look beautiful. Yes, I agree but don’t you think that changing the natural structure for your own desire is a kind of stupid decision.

The thing is that if we keep putting those harmful chemicals on our faces and bodies then eventually we’re trying to overcome the natural process which starts from our bellies; I mean we have to eat well to look good. Any dermatologist prescribes a good diet along with other products but why are we so naive that we skip the major part and starts using a product which eventually doesn’t give us the desired result. Of course, the reason behind is not the product but you…who skipped the diet part in prescription or doctor’s advice.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”1,4-DIOXANE” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:left|color:%23dd3333″][vc_column_text]Well well well, look what’s here? The top of the shelf, a mischievous trick of cosmetic manufacturers among all others. This particular term is not any type of chemical which must be displayed on labels that’s why you never found it on labels because it’s the end result of many other chemicals or in easy words, It creates itself as a chemical reaction or its a result of common ingredient’s reaction and that’s why cosmetic companies are not bound to put it on labels.

More than 22% of 22,000 cosmetic companies, use that chemical to make shampoo, liquid soap, bubble bath, hair relaxers, others; without even mentioning it on labels to fool us all because it’s linked to organ toxicity. That’s why it’s banned/found unsafe for use in cosmetics in Canada.

HEALTH CONCERNS?

Cancer: Research shows that 1,4-dioxane readily penetrates the skin. 1,4-dioxane is considered a probable human carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is listed as an animal carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program. It is included on California’s Proposition 65 list of chemicals known or suspected to cause cancer or birth defects.

Cosmetics companies know very well how these chemicals react to our skin but despite evidence of adverse skin, eye, and throat reactions to these chemicals, they continue to be used in nail products. Why? because fools like us are their target audience who are so-called literate but never read what the label says!

We are mainly exposed to these chemicals through inhalation or skin contact but still, we trust those products blindly and get ourselves in different troubles. In search of beauty, we’ve lost health!

Who doesn’t, right? Well, I got bad news for you that almost every Lip balm, nail polish, foundations, baby sunscreens, fragrance, shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, moisturizer, and foundation contain the amount of Benzophenone to protect the product from UV light or in other words sunlight. Yes, you read it right, it protects the product, not you nor your skin!

Moreover, its directly linked to cancer, endocrine disruption, and organ system toxicity.

If you don’t then let me tell you. Preservatives are basically chemi cals or compounds to extend the life of the product because if you leave them on the shelf for long then due to temperature changes, sunlight, and due to chemical reactions inside the packaging, the product starts to decompose itself and that’s why all cosmetics companies have to add Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) otherwise their products like Lip products, hair products, makeup, sunscreen, antiperspirant/deodorant, fragrance, creams will expire within few days or weeks.

They say little knowledge is dangerous. I guess they were right and that’s why companies literally know how to fool us and keep our heads busy in spending more and more money on things which eventually are reasons of premature aging, skin and health issues.

Yes, we all need to understand that beauty is part of nature, and today, we have many problems which were all manmade because they were all greedy to make money and they used us all. First, they started to divide us all in colors, then they started hitting our emotions by reminding us about our age, skin cleanliness, height, weight, sizes, etc. They were winning till now but now women are changing the game, like Naturista Herbal Cosmetics as their CEO Sehrish Arif works day and night, creating products by hand with all-natural and organic ingredients. It sounds like a dream but it isn’t. Naturista might be the only company that is open to sharing its secrets and also, they spend months testing their products although their products have no side effects due to the herbal and organic ingredients but still, they go through that long process of testing. Before anyone, She applies products to herself, then her family members and friends. Once they find their products are up to the standards then they reveal them just like their range of handmade soaps. Nobody else has this type of range in handmade soaps.

Moreover, new products are under development and testing, soon they’ll all be in-market to stand against all those companies which claim to be natural but if you read their labels then you might get scared of the list of chemicals they use in the name of herbal and 100% natural. So, the choice is all yours because we don’t want you to literally lose your health in the search for beauty.✌️[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
