Examples of carcinogenic products and ingredients include:
- Black and dark brown permanent hair dyes contain "coal tar" dye ingredients recognized as carcinogens in experimental animals. This evidence is supported by studies establishing that regular use of these dyes poses major risks of relatively rare cancers-non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, and multiple myeloma.
- Cosmetic grade talc is carcinogenic in experimental animals. Also, frequent genital dusting with talc, routinely practiced by some 17% of premenopausal women, increases risks of ovarian cancer.
- A group of widely used preservatives, such as quaternium 15 and bronopol, commonly used in baby products, though not carcinogenic themselves, break down to release formaldehyde, a potent irritant and carcinogen.
- Lanolin, widely used on babies' skin and nipples of nursing mothers, is commonly contaminated with DDT and other carcinogenic pesticides. n Commonly used detergents and foaming agents, such as polysorbates and PEG, are usually contaminated with the volatile carcinogens dioxane and ethylene oxide, although they could readily be removed by vacuum stripping during manufacture.
- DEA(Diethanolamine), another widely used detergent, has been known since 1975 to combine with nitrite preservatives or contaminants in CPC products to form a highly carcinogenic nitrosamine. Furthermore, in 1997, DEA itself was shown to be carcinogenic following application to mouse skin.
- Parabens (methylparaben, propylparaben, etc.) are skin irritants, disturb your hormonal balance, are potential mutagens and have been found in breast cancer tumors. They are commonly found in shampoos, conditioners, lotions and deodorants.
- Propylene glycol is a strong irritant, may cause delayed allergic reactions, kidney, liver, nervous system damage, and has not been fully investigated for its potential to cause cancer. Check your makeup, deodorant, mouthwash, shaving lotions and baby lotion for this ingredient.
- Fragrance may irritate the skin and cause a variety of adverse reactions. It may contain hundreds of different chemicals, some are hazardous, some cause cancer. This is found in just about all cosmetics and personal care products, unless it says fragrance free. See page 21 to discover what fragrance free really means.
- Sodium fluoride is a poison and its toxic effects can be delayed. It can cause death if swallowed. Check your toothpaste. Unless it says fluoride free, it most likely has some form of fluoride in it.
- Octyl methoxycinnamate is a skin and eye irritant. It disrupts your hormone balance and has been shown to increase the growth of cancer cells. Used in makeup, suntan lotions and sunscreens.
- Sodium lauryl sulfate is a skin and eye irritant, and may cause dry skin and eczema. It is a potential mutagen and may inhibit DNA synthesis. It is found in shampoos, bubble bath, lotions, creams, and toothpaste.
- D&C colors are primarily derived from coal tar which is known to cause cancer. They are certified by the FDA not to contain more than 20 ppm of lead and arsenic, but the certification does not address any adverse effects these colors may have on your body and disregards the permeability of the skin which allows these substances to be absorbed into your body. Commonly used to add color to most commercial cosmetics and personal care products.
- FD&C colors are primarily derived from coal tar which is known to cause cancer. They are certified by the FDA not to contain more than 10 ppm of lead and arsenic, but the certification does not address any adverse effects these colors may have on your body. Added to most cosmetics and personal care products for color.
