Parabens:

Book Appointment

Chemical preservatives that researchers have found in breast tumors. The ingredients list on labels as an example; methylparaben, propylparaben, and butylparben.

Sunscreens:

Sunscreens are chemical agents that actually absorb the sun while sunblocks are minerals that reflect the sun. Because sunscreens absorb the sun's rays they are much more likely to break down into damaging byproducts. Resulting in DNA damage and increased risk of skin cancer. Chemicals are big business. Need I say more?

Propylene glycol:

The worst of the “glycols”. They strip lipids from the skin, increase free radicals, and dehydrate the skin.

Retinoic acid: (retin A)

Toxic to the body and when put on top of the skin it damages the epidermal barrier which in turn damages the collagen thus making you age faster. It basically swells the skin thus wrinkles only “look” better.

Glycolic acid:

Exfoliant that causes inflammation and skin damage.

Benzoyl peroxide:

An oxidizing chemical to treat acne. Interferes with new-wound healing and promotes aging. Remember that an acne blemish can last a week but an acne scar lasts a lifetime. You are actually putting a free radical on your face which depletes the skin as your body sends anti-oxidants to the rescue.

Hydrogen peroxide:

The body turns free radicals into hydrogen peroxide so we already have too much of it. Adding even more of it stresses and depletes the skin.

Phenoxyethanol:

Chemical stabilizer that is a skin irritant.

Artificial colors:

More toxins just to enhance the look of a product.

Artificial fragrance:

Even more toxins. There are naturals which are better and non irritating,
