@timbiohacker: Toxic chemicals found in TOP makeup brands! Why’s this allowed?! Scientists tested 231 make-up products and found that over half were contaminated with toxic forever chemicals (PFAS). Long-lasting and waterproof makeup was the worst – with 82% of waterproof mascaras, 62% of liquid lipsticks and 63% of foundations found to be contaminated. Brands tested included popular brands that you likely have in your makeup bag including; L’Oreal, Ulta, Clinique, Maybelline, Smashbox, Nars, Estee Lauder and more. PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a class of 9,000 compounds used to make products like food packaging, clothing, carpets and MAKE-UP water and stain-resistant. They’re dubbed “forever chemicals” because they do not break down and ACCUMULATE in the body and in our environment contributing to serious fertility issues in both men and women, as well as birth defects, liver and thyroid disease, high blood pressure, and many other serious health issues. It’s hard to avoid contaminants in makeup, but these brands have confirmed they are PFAS free; @iliabeauty, @MILKmakeup, @RMSbeauty, @TheBodyShop, @janeiredale, @fentybeauty and @manillacosmetics If you’re in the UK, you can also use pfasfree.org.uk to search for cosmetics and other PFAS free products.
