What NOT to buy!!!
You already know (or maybe you are just now learning) that we use:
No Petrochemicals
No Phosphates or Sulfates
No Artificial Preservatives
No Animal Cruelty
Recyclable packaging
and we are Biodegradable
If you have ever spoken to a Daisy Blue Naturals Consultant you also know we don't tell you WHAT to use....we educate folks on WHAT NOT to use! Daisy Blue Naturals is all about Educating the public on the dangers of commercial skin care ingredients...because we care. We really do. We have signed on at Safe Cosmetics Campaign and Leaping Bunny.
We are not here to just sell skin care...we want to change the skin care industry!!! We want safer products for our family and friends...we truly want to make a difference.
In that light, here are some ingredients to stay away from (check your labels!)
For more information on the safety of skin care products visit: http://www.ewg.org
Deet – by federal law, products containing deet must include a list of 12 warnings and regulations for use!
Bismuth Oxychloride – a heavy element which clogs pores and irritates skin
Propylene Glycol (PPG) – A derivative of natural gas. It is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. Used because it is very CHEAP.
Mineral Oil, Petrolatum, and other Petro-chemicals – by-products of making gasoline, they clog our pores and suffocate our skin. Used in skin care only because they are unbelievably CHEAP.
Phthalates – used in fragrances, nail polish, and plastics. They are known as "endocrine disruptors" because they mimic the body's hormones. They are a common allergen (that fragrance that makes you sneeze…) , can damage the liver, the kidneys, the lungs, and the reproductive system .
Triethanolamine (TEA) and Diethanolamine (DEA) –Known skin, eye, and mucous membrane irritants. Studies have shown TEA and DEA rob the brains ability to make memory cells, leading to brain damage and memory loss. As with any amines, it has potential to create nitrosamines, which is a known carcinogen.
Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone – used because it is CHEAP. You may see the claim “derived from sand.” Not exactly! It can orginate from silicon crystals (of synthetic or natural origin) that are then reacted with methyl chloride, another chemical that is known to be bad for our health and environment.
Artificial Preservatives (parabens, DMDM Hydration, Ureas, azoles) – according to the American Academy of Dermatology, these ingredients have been shown to be a primary cause of contact dermatitis and allergic reactions. Also, parabens can mimic estrogen in our bodies, which is known to play a role in breast cancer.
EDTA (Disodium EDTA, Tetrasodium EDTA) –There are concerns with these ingredients due to the “amine” structure of the chemical.
Sulfates (Sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl/laureth sufates, tetrasodium sulfate) – synthetic detergents, they add bubbles very CHEAPLY to shampoos, bubble baths, and body washes. They most commonly cause skin irritations, and rashes. There are NO naturally derived sulfates!
Phosphates – Major cause of skin irritations and allergic reactions.
FD&C and D&C colors – known carcinogens.
