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.

Most makeup contains chemicals that are damaging your fertility. 52% of 200 makeup products tested contain harmful forever chemicals. Now, forever chemicals never leave your body. The more you're exposed to, the more harmful it is for your health. Exposure can lead to fertility issues, birth defects, preeclampsia, high blood pressure, a weakened immune system, liver damage and thyroid disease. It also dramatically increases your risk of multiple types of cancer. Now, imagine that the average woman actually eats up to three kilos of lipstick in her lifetime. Now, waterproof and long-lasting products are the worst. The waterproof mascara's liquid lipsticks and foundations showing the highest level of contamination are these. Because forever chemicals accumulate, there is no safe or beneficial dose. It's just not worth the risk. Your best bet is to avoid long-lasting makeup and look for brands that are marketed as PFAS-free and are mineral-based. Or you can reduce the amount of makeup that you wear altogether and save it for very special occasions.
