Harmful Chemicals and Metals

There are a variety of impure ingredients put into cosmetics. Dangerous chemicals are used as preservatives to maintain shelf life or add fragrances and color. While toxic metals are used to help bind and hold the product together.

The problem with these toxins is that they are poisons and the more your body is exposed to them, the sicker it gets over time and the more likely it will be to hold onto these toxins creating more problems for you down the road!

Many don’t realize that symptoms like weight gain, congestion, and migraines are caused by constant exposure to their beauty products. 

If your kidneys, liver, thyroid, and other organs are constantly being exposed to harmful poisons they can’t do their job properly.  Your body will hold onto toxins, storing them in your body’s tissue, organs, and fat and making you prone to Toxin Overload Syndrome which can cause the symptoms below.
