Mineral Oil - Ingredients to Avoid #16

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID #16

MINERAL OIL – a petroleum ingredient that coats the skin like plastic wrap, disrupting the natural immune barrier, inhibiting its ability to breathe and absorb natural moisture and nutrition, and its ability to release toxins, which can promote acne and other disorders. The process slows down skin function and normal cell development causing premature aging.

This also applies to tanning oils and lotions—which many of you may be using right now with summer in full swing—as well as the baby oil or lotion that many parents unwittingly slather on their babies.

Glycol - Ingredients to Avoid #15

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID #15

GLYCOL – (propylene, butylenes, etc) a synthetic petrochemical mix that has been known to cause allergic and toxic reactions, and has been linked through contamination to cancer, developmental/reproductive issues, neurotoxicity and endocrine disruption. 

"Propylene glycol is a related chemical that, like PEGs, functions as a penetration enhancer and can allow harmful ingredients to be absorbed more readily through the skin. It can also cause allergic reactions. (Dirty Dozen, Dr David Suzuki) ... "it was also found that PG provoked allergic reactions in patients with eczema and other skin allergies"

Nano Particles - Ingredients to Avoid #10

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID #10

"NANOPARTICLES - "The increased capacity of nanoparticles to penetrate skin and gain access to our bodies' cells is a double edged sword: it may be useful for medical purposes, but it could also result in far greater uptake of substances that have a negative health effect.

Recent research shows that nanoparticles of titanium dioxide, one of the most commonly used cosmetic ingredients, (sunscreens) can move across the placenta of pregnant mice, resulting in brain damage and reduced sperm production in male offspring.

The beauty industry is adding 'nanoparticles' to lipstick, foundation and anti-aging products because at this extremely small scale familiar substances have novel optical and biological properties.

As larger particles titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are white and opaque - as in the old fashioned zinc sunscreen worn by surf life savers. But at the nanoscale, a hundred times smaller than a red blood cell, these same substances become transparent. This enables their use in moisturisers and foundations. Other nanoparticles such as aluminium oxide give a 'soft focus' effect that disguises wrinkles. These are used in high-end concealer sticks, foundations and face powders. Carbon 'fullerene' nanoparticles are used in anti-aging creams and moisturizers partly because these tiny nanoparticles penetrate skin so effectively.

The beauty industry's willingness to use novel nanoparticles in its products while their health effects remain so poorly understood has raised a few eyebrows among the less fashion-conscious scientific community."

Retinyl Palmitate - Ingredients to Avoid #9

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID #9 

RETINYL PALMITATE "is composed of palmitic acid and retinol (vitamin A). When exposed to UV light, retinol compounds break down and produce toxic free radicals that can damage DNA and cause gene mutations, a precursor to cancer. Recently available data from an FDA study indicate that retinyl palmitate, when applied to the skin in the presence of sunlight, may speed the development of skin tumors and lesions. FDA also raised a concern that extensive, daily skin application of vitamin A creams may build up in the woman’s body a high enough level of Vitamin A that may be toxic to the developing fetus." Why is this is many sunscreens and leave on skin care products?

Eyeliner Perfection... Just Sayin


Eyeliner is one of those deal breakers for me, sometimes I need it and sometimes I don't feel like messing with it at all.  I haven't worn eyeliner in a while but when Ava Anderson came out with the new liquid eyeliner and I was game to try it out.  I am back in the eyeliner game with this one.  The allergies here in San Antonio can make my eyes itch horribly so I was worried about smudging and flaking but neither has happened with this eyeliner.  The real test will be in the Hot months when the humidity is crazy high and my eyelids sweat!  Yes I am talking about you TEXAS!  
I will definitely give an Update in August.  
But until them I will be using this little beauty to paint on my canvas!
