I missed seeing this article last December and came across it while I was looking for more information on phthalates. This article in the Daily Telegraph talks about harmful chemicals in lipsticks and nail polishes, particularly the chemical which makes these products glossy (butyl benzyl phthalate, or BBP). This chemical can interfere with the healthy development of breast tissue. It is a man-made substance which mimicks the female sex hormone, estrogen. scientists at the Fox Chase Cancer Centre in Philadelphia say that BBP - which accumulates in our fat cells - could increase the risks of breast cancer. The research can be viewed online at Biomed Central.
At the Health Highway we can show you a range of cosmetics that do not use any harmful ingredients, including the one mentioned in this article. Our aim is to help you protect and maintain your health for generations to come. Its a known fact that women absorb up to 2 kg of cosmetics and skin care through their skin every year so make sure the products you use and absorb into your bodies are totally safe!
