Avoid These 13 Ingredients In Your Beauty Products For Greater Hormonal Health
As infertility rates continue to rise, it's important women understand how their modern lifestyle may be negatively affecting their hormones and fertility. Alongside eating a diet that supports hormonal health, it's also important we take a look at what we're putting on our skin. Unfortunately, some of the most hazardous chemicals that block hormones are found in makeup, moisturizers, and shampoo.
Some of these chemicals are endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and regular exposure to these substances can lead to a variety of health problems. This is particularly concerning as a study found that women who use makeup absorb almost five pounds of chemicals into their bodies each year. Plus, as cosmetic products aren’t subject to FDA approval, it’s up to women to read labels and avoid harmful chemicals if they want to protect their hormones.
