Top 10 Toxic Ingredients:
Dimethicone Creates a synthetic barrier that can trap impurities, disrupt skin function, and contribute to congestion and dullness over time.
Glycols (PEGs, Propylene Glycol) Often used as solvents that can irritate skin, increase toxin absorption, and disrupt the skin’s natural moisture balance.
Parabens Preservatives linked to hormone disruption that can interfere with the body’s endocrine system and long-term skin health.
Fluoride Can cause skin irritation and sensitivity and may accumulate in the body, impacting overall cellular and hormonal balance.
Coal Tar A known skin irritant associated with inflammation and potential toxicity, especially with repeated or long-term exposure.
Formaldehyde A recognized carcinogen that can trigger skin irritation, allergic reactions, and systemic toxicity even at low exposure levels.
Preservatives (Synthetic)Extend shelf life at the expense of skin health, often causing irritation, barrier damage, and immune sensitivity.
Polymers Synthetic film-formers that give temporary smoothness while blocking pores and interfering with the skin’s natural renewal process.
Fillers Add bulk without benefit, diluting active ingredients and offering no nourishment or long-term skin support.
Derived Ingredients Heavily processed substances stripped of their natural nutrients, reducing effectiveness and increasing the risk of irritation.
When used daily, skincare products containing synthetic chemicals can have a cumulative effect on the body over time. These substances don’t simply rinse away—many are absorbed through the skin, the body’s largest organ, where they can build up faster than the body can eliminate them. Repeated exposure may disrupt hormonal balance, weaken the skin barrier, increase inflammation, and place added stress on detoxification systems. Over time, this accumulation can impact not just skin health, but overall wellness—making ingredient choice an important part of long-term self-care.
