Are your care products dangerous?

Most consumers are unaware of the potentially harmful chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products. Chemicals such as propylene glycol (antifreeze), sodium lauryl sulphate and petroleum are common ingredients in most household and personal care products and have proven hazardous after exposure.

Other standards and hazardous chemicals include phthalates, polypropylene glycol, dioxanes, formaldehyde, sodium lauryl sulphate, sodium laurel sulphate, aluminium, monoethanolamine and glycerin, petrolatum, methanol, isopropanol and benzophenone-3. It is recommended that you read the labels carefully before purchasing household, hair, skin or personal care products to ensure that these chemicals are not found.

The OSHA has established strict handling procedures for the chemicals mentioned above. For example, many shampoos, conditioners, dyes, moisturizers, styling gels, facial cleansers, mascara, bases, anti-aging creams and even many foods contain propylene glycol (known as antifreeze). According to OSHA, when handling propylene glycol in chemical laboratories, the following protective equipment must be worn: splash goggles, lab coats, steam masks, gloves and approved/certified respirator or similar. When handling this product in the event of a significant spillage, OSHA also requires a full suit and extra footwear. According to the Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product "To prevent inhalation of this product, use a self-contained breathing apparatus, this may not be sufficient for protective clothing, consult a specialist BEFORE handling this product." ,

Unfortunately, few laws protect consumers from harmful chemicals that reduce the effectiveness of a product and increase long-term health risks. Researcher and researcher Sabrina McCormick, Ph.D., commented on a recent study pointing out that people should be exposed to fewer cosmetics and toiletries and called on policymakers to tighten regulations. "We need to focus on prevention by promoting safer products, reducing exposure to chemicals and encouraging our decision-makers to ban carcinogenic chemicals in everyday products," McCormick said. "Women and girls should not have to check the ingredients of every lipstick and bottle of moisturizer, and better regulation to ensure the safety of these products would significantly reduce the incidence of breast cancer."

Very few companies produce quality products at a reasonable price. Triveni International® is one of them. It is a network marketing company that sells hair and body care products and uses the "no harm" philosophy. Their products and formulas contain no known harmful ingredients, and their products are organic and have never been tested on animals. "The main reason why our company is so successful," says Leslie DeeAnn, owner and founder of Triveni International®. "That's because we have a quality product and sincerely care about the health of our consumers."
