Most of these chemicals overwhelm the liver as it works daily to clean toxins from our system, but some of the chemicals in cosmetics are endocrine disruptors that cause a condition called estrogen dominance.<\/p>\n<p>the symptoms of estrogen dominance can range from mild to severe, but they can severely impact a woman&#8217;s health and her lifestyle. They include: decreased sex drive, irregular or otherwise abnormal menstrual periods, heavy bleeding, bloating, breast swelling and tenderness, fibrocystic breasts, headaches (especially when premenstrual), and mood swings (most often irritability and depression).<\/p>\n<p><block>Can you imagine all of these negative symptoms coming from the cosmetics we&#8217;re using on a daily basis?<\/block><\/p>\n<p> Increased exposure to many of these toxins can also cause premature skin aging and collagen destruction. Chronic exposure to free radical damage from these chemicals wreak havoc in the cellular environment of the skin and eventually start destroying collagen, thus creating unhealthy skin. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;3.12.2&#8243;

To choose a good product, as a physician, I always recommend checking the ingredients and making sure they\u2019re free of these top-offending endocrine disruptors:<\/p>\n<h3>1. PARABENS<\/h3>\n<p>Parabens have been used as a preservative in cosmetics since the 1950s, but more and more research is showing how dangerous they are to our bodies to absorb or ingest on a daily basis. Predominantly, <strong>parabens have been linked to breast cancer<\/strong> \u2013 they\u2019re believed to mimic estrogen in the body and contribute to reproductive types of cancer such as breast and ovarian cancers among others. Malignant breast tumours have even been shown to have trace amounts of parabens in them! When looking at the ingredients in products, most parabens will be easy to identify: butylparaben, methylparaben, propylparaben, ethylparaben, etc. However, they can also be listed as alkyl parahydroxybenzoates.<\/p>\n<h3>2. PROPYLENE GLYCOL<\/h3>\n<p>In cosmetics, propylene glycol is used in small amounts to keep products from melting in high heat or from freezing. It also helps ingredients to penetrate the skin. Unfortunately, it is also <strong>considered a neurotoxin<\/strong> by the CDC, and is an active ingredient in antifreeze!<\/p>\n<h3>3. PHTHALATES<\/h3>\n<p>Phthalates have traditionally been used as a plasticizer in nail polish, to create flexibility in hair sprays, and as a fixative in fragrances. They\u2019re also another estrogen mimicker, and a known carcinogen. Additionally, they\u2019re considered to be <strong>reproductive toxicants: they can have a very negative impact on fertility<\/strong>, especially in adult males (but also in women).<\/p>\n<h3>4. TPHP<\/h3>\n<p>Triphenyl phosphate, or TPHP, was developed as an alternative to phthalates in the last decade and has been used in many of the same products. Unfortunately, TPHP is now being shown to be a <strong>toxin that disrupts our endocrine system and is extremely carcinogenic!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;3.12.2&#8243;

Don\u2019t be! In the case of \u201cclean\u201d vs. commercial cosmetics, my number one recommendation is to do a little bit of research on the company you\u2019re buying your products from. If their website warns of the toxins I\u2019ve mentioned and explains that they\u2019re free of harmful chemicals, chances are you\u2019re in good hands, but I would still read each and every label.<\/p>\n<p>If they simply have a \u201cparaben free\u201d sticker on their label, you might want to do a little more digging, because some companies will still try to cut corners while capitalizing on the growing \u201cclean\u201d beauty product industry.<\/p>\n<p>EWG provides consumer guides and lists of truly clean and safe products and companies. EWG has a database of beauty products and you can type in some of the products you\u2019re currently using at home into the EWG database to check them out on a toxicity scale and find out how toxic they are. Visit EWG at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ewg.org\/skindeep\">ewg.org\/skindeep<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>For shampoo, conditioner, body lotion and cleansers, I personally use WomenSense&reg; Clean Body Care. All of the products are non-GMO, xenoestrogen, vegan and gluten free. You can find these gentle, safe products in local area health stores.
