The 'Forbidden Five'

 

How many personal care products do you use each day?  On average, most women use a minimum of 9.  Go ahead and count 'em. From hair and body products to cosmetics, each day you're exposing yourself to more than 125 synthetic and toxic ingredients.

The following is my list of 'Forbidden Five' highly toxic and carcinogenic (cancer causing) ingredients found in the majority of mass marketed commercial products.  These products contain formaldehyde or breakdown to form other toxic properties.  I absolutely will not use any product containing these ingredients.  Take a look at the label your favorite product -- or the products you use on your kids -- and see what you find...it's frightening.

  • 2-bromo-2 nitropropane, 3-diol
  • Imidazolidinyl Urea
  • Diazolidinyl Urea
  • DMDM Hydantoin
  • Quaternium 15

Other Toxic Ingredients to avoid.
