"More than 1 in 3 Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes (ref: The Halifax Project).Along with genetics, diet, and lifestyle - exposures to toxic chemicals clearly contribute to this problem. There is growing evidence that we may be overlooking crucial aspects of how combinations of chemicals may cause cancer. The researchers of the Halifax Project propose that combinations of these chemicals could cause cancer by disrupting multiple pathways and overwhelming the bodys defences. Many of these toxins enter our body and face via our skin. On average we have 3062 sweat glands on our face alone! Most of us apply a face cream morning and night, every day, 365 days, year on year! Chemical ingredients often found in face creams include alkyloamides (MEA, DEA, TEA, MIPA and PEGs), these are added as thickening agents, emollients and emulsifiers. Oxybenzone in face creams is bad for us as they have been shown to behave similarly to the hormone estrogen. We find it ironic that the toxins in anti-ageing face creams can actually cause ageing and DNA damage! This face cream gives us a better option for our bathroom shelf!". Margie
