Chapstick is something I think everyone uses .... but what many donโt know is how toxic they can be ....
Toxins found in chapstick ๐๐
1. ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐น๐ฎ๐๐๐บ aka petroleum, yep that stuff you put in your car!
2. ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐ (๐๐๐) & ๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฒ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐๐ ๐ก๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ญ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ง๐ (๐๐๐), health concerns linked to these chemicals include endocrine disruption, organ-system toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, cancer and respiratory irritation.
3. ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฌ which are potential endocrine disruptors due to their ability to mimic estrogen.
4. ๐๐ซ๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ aka hidden chemicals. cosmetic manufacturers can withhold the actual ingredients used in their fragrances in order to โprotect their trade secretsโ. fragrances often contain high levels of phthalates which are strong hormone disruptors linked to decreased s***m count in men & reduced female fertility. They also cause a worsening of allergy & asthma symptoms.
