We are all part of the
great experiment.
We are considered the "guinea pig" generation and whether we like it or not we are all part of one giant petri dish of an experiment and we don't know it.
Why do you think that so many cosmetics and perfumes are launched prematurely only to be yanked from shelves months later only after allergies and adverse health side effects have been reported?

Consider this an
intervention of our dependency on chemical based
products for our day to day life.
Scary to admit it but there are hundreds of banned chemicals that still to this moment lace the household cleaners and cosmetics that we entrust our lives with each day.
We tend to associate poisons with the skull and crossbones yet with some of the products we use there's little difference. In fact if our hair care products and cosmetics displayed a skull and cross bones on its packaging would we be so quick to use them? I doubt it.
The United Kingdom has hundreds of banned chemicals on its hotlist, chemicals that are toxic to human health. Unfortunately, not all countries have joined the ranks in banning them and they still continue to be used.
That means that unless you know exactly what these harmful chemicals are that you'd continue to use them and be none the wiser.
Here are just some of the health side effects from being in contact with these chemicals, they range from increased sensitivity and new allergies, impaired fertility, central nervous system damage, inreased risk of Alzheimer's disease, increased potential cancer risk, breathing difficulties, brain tumors, coma and even death.

I always believe that
knowledge is
power. By knowing which banned chemicals are in products
means that you can avoid using them in the future.
Don't wait for government regulation to intervene because so far it's failed and has continued to allow the use of these harmful chemicals in our everyday products. Nothing can ever substitute the power of knowledge when it comes to your own due diligence.
In the United States unfortunately, cosmetic companies don't have to disclose the ingredients of their products on their packaging so it means that you have to be more vigilant in your efforts to protect the health of you and your family.
