let’s talk about the five women’s

products that should be avoided now

there are always alternatives everything

toxic out there and when we talk about

products there are still things on the

market

that are

very unsafe very toxic and you need to

be aware of them so let’s start with

compact powder so we’re talking about

talc powder or talcum powder and they

use that in all sorts of

women’s products from creams to

finishing powders materials that are

used for eye shadow blushes foundations

and many beauty creams now talc is the

softest mineral and it’s highly

absorbable so it’ll absorb the oil from

your skin

and give you an appearance of kind of a

soft silky

texture at least at first now here’s the

problem with talcum powder when they

mine it it always comes with something

else called asbestos and so up to 20

percent of all products out there with

talcum powder

have asbestos

as a contaminated ingredient and the

problem with asbestos is it can leave

you with a malignancy

called mesothelioma so if you’re

currently using compact powder you want

to find a brand that is asbestos free

now there’s two sites that i put in the

description that you can find a

non-toxic talcum powder all right number

two nail polish and now remover boy i

don’t understand how some people that

work

in the environment of doing nails can

tolerate the toxicity

of these chemicals

and if you personally work in a place

like that you at least need to get

in an air ionizer to help reduce these

chemicals in the air but what’s the big

deal with nail polish well it has

chemicals like tooling which is in

gasoline i mean it’s a solvent it’s in

there to keep the paint from separating

but if you breathe it in it can create a

central nervous system toxicity and it

kind of bad effects on your reproductive

organs they also put formaldehyde

in nail polish now what’s wrong with

formaldehyde well it’s a great

preservative if you’re embalming someone

but you have to realize that the nail

is alive

and your body can absorb things through

the nail so whatever you put on the nail

gets absorbed then we have dibutyl

phalae so this ingredient adds some

flexibility to the paint and it prevents

it from cracking and turning brittle

however

it gets absorbed in your blood and it

can

negatively affect your reproductive

organs i mean it’s considered an

endocrine disruptor then when you put

the paint on then eventually you have to

remove it with nail polish remover and

they use acetone for that now the

problem with acetone is it’s on the

hazardous substance list

it has a clear colorless kind of a sweet

odor

and it’s a solvent for oils fats waxes

resins

plastics i mean if you read this list

it’s incredible it’s like

can cause headaches nausea vomiting

dizziness lightheadedness and even

passing out it may affect the kidneys in

the liver

it’s a flammable liquid and a dangerous

fire hazard oh yeah and then the first

aid section skin contact quickly remove

contaminated clothing immediately wash

contaminated skin with a large amount of

soap and water well guess what you’re

putting this right on the surface of

your body i don’t know do people think

that it doesn’t get absorbed or because

it’s on the nail and the nail supposedly

dead which is not

is somehow not going to affect them now

as far as a cancer hazard

acetone has not been tested for its

ability to cause cancer in animals so

even though they didn’t test it doesn’t

mean that it can’t cause cancer so

anything that is a fire hazard should

not be put

on your body what i recommend is simply

find an eco-friendly

non-toxic

nail polish and nail remover they have

them and i’ll put a link down below with

a few that i found all right number

three intimate wash

products they call these feminine

hygiene products which they have washes

and wipes and shaving gels and

lubricants and apparently a lot of women

buy these products but are they really

needed and what are they doing to the

microbiome that lives in the vaginal

canal the chemicals are killing the

microflora

and altering the ph

there is a much increased risk when you

use these products of developing

cervical cancer

utis

pelvic inflammatory disease

hpv

genital warts genital herpes but why

because you’re destroying the immune

system those microbes are the defense

mechanism

and so if you don’t have a defense

mechanism you’re more susceptible to

getting

unfriendly pathogens the normal

lactobacillus that lives in the vaginal

canal

produces lactic acid which actually

really helps the ph become slightly

acidic and that acts as another barrier

so when the ph increases and becomes

more alkaline a woman becomes more

susceptible to having a lot of

problems and irritation and redness etc

so a very simple solution is to use a

probiotic for vaginal health okay

i don’t have any brand names but you

definitely want to check that out and go

in that direction all right then we get

to number four

hair removal

creams and the chemical mostly used is

called

theoglycolic acid

now anytime you put

anything on your skin and then within

minutes later you can wipe off your hair

that should bring up a red flag because

what this acid does is it dissolves the

keratin

in your hair and guess what theo

glycolic acid is also on the hazardous

substance list it’s a corrosive chemical

and contact can severely irritate and

burn your skin now as far as the cancer

hazard well they haven’t tested it to

see if it causes cancer in animals so

the jury’s still out but check this out

it says avoid skin contact yet you’re

putting it on your skin and it even says

to wear protective gloves when you’re

using this acid so if you don’t like

hair on your body

don’t use this chemical

you might want to just wax

all right and number five

permanent hair dyes there’s over 5000

different chemicals that they use

in dyeing your hair

and unfortunately some are known

carcinogens they can cause cancer the

chemicals are going on your scalp which

has the ability to get absorbed and go

right into your bloodstream

and they can act on your endocrine

system they can affect your hormones

some chemicals are considered endocrine

disruptors and in one large study called

the sister study which was performed on

45 000 women they found there was an

increased risk of breast cancer and

bladder cancer so there are natural dyes

out there that you should use

but when you’re dyeing your hair

always ask questions and look at the

ingredients of what’s in this dye to

make sure they’re they’re just not

filled with a list of chemicals that you

can’t even pronounce and because we’re

on the topic of

chemicals and toxicity

the next best video for you to watch

would be the one on the liver check it
