Thanks lymetoo, I've been trying to tell my daughter that all those chemicals she puts on are dangerous and that most men prefer a more natural approach. She actually smells like bug spray at times and other so called perfumes are so strong they drive people away.

There are many "beneficial" very toxic compounds and therapies too...when fighting for our lives.
Chemotherapy is the first to come to mind.
Though we are also trying to modify toxic chemotherapy with the addition of "natural" things like adding curcumin or resveratrol to conventional chemotherapy.
Slowly we are trying to clean up, stop using dangerous chemicals and going back to "natural" ones to destroy pathogens.
One example is all of the new "citrus" orange and lemon based cleaning products.
Long talks on cell phones, lying in the sun to get a tan, consuming a huge thick char-broiled steak...pick your "poison".

I am so allergec to smells; perfume, body lotions, some hairspray, some deodorants etc that when I smell them my face, neck and the top of my arms flush red instantly, then in the next instant I have a migraine headache. The time between me smelling and reacting is seconds. Its a vascular problem apparently but since I have learned I have lyme I wonder how much of my vascular problem is lyme. its all so complex.....

So difficult to get my teen to make the connection that some of the products she is using may not be in her best interest as they accumulate over time. It is the nail polish/remover that concerns me, as well as some of the mascara and eyeliner products. But I am hoping that eventually a lightbulb will come on.

if you look at the blue menu at the top of the page you can click on what type of product you are interested in (eg cosmetics, hair products etc)

I finally got the toxic cleaners out of my home.
I contacted a Shaklee distributor and she an her children came and cleaned my home for me at no cost to me.
That sold me. I could not believe I had put up with those toxic cleaners for so long.
I also realised that was one reason why I really did not like to see the housekeeper/caregiver come...the smell of the toxins in the house.
As far as makeup, I just don't wear it anymore.
I don't have the strength to put it on most of the time.
I also have switched toothpaste and underarm deorderant and body soap to non toxic and laundry soap.

Beware of some of the shakly products. They do have some toxic ingredients. My sister bought some of the items and checked the ingredients and was shocked to find some of them were toxic!!
I also use the cosmetic data base. I check there before buying anything. They don't have any shakly products there though, so you just have to check the ingredients.

Yes. I know some young & older men who douse themselves in weird smelling cologne. I don't know why they do it. They are my boyfriend's friends & we had to stop inviting them over. The smell lingers for days in the house & I find it revolting.
There are articles that say this stuff can lower sperm count, effect the hormones, etc. I show the info to people but they still wear the colognes... It seems really bizarre to me since it's the natural phermones that attracts mates. If they are looking to attract women or men - it's counter-productive.
You really have to be careful of these "beauty" products. There I no regulation for them so you have to be your own watchdog. Recently, lead was found in lipstick. My mother also got lymphoma from using black hair dye.
Many of the new powder foundations have nanoparticles of minerals. We really don't know what the long term effects of these nanoparticles are.
There are many highly toxic chemicals in the environment. It's hard to avoid everything but lead in lipstick really seems to take the cake. What is on these manufacturer's minds?
It really does seem like "they" want to kill us off slowly so the drug companies can profit...
