Important Health Warning…
Would you buy and drink a bottle of water if the label said: Spring Water - contains 2% toxic chemicals? Of course you wouldn’t, you’d look for a bottle that contained Pure Spring Water.
Would you use a shampoo and conditioner if you knew they contained cancer-causing chemicals? I think not. But the fact is, what you don’t know can harm you. Surprisingly enough, many personal care products from major brand manufacturers such as: Shampoos, Conditioners, Toothpaste, Deodorants, Shaving Creams, Moisturizers, Cosmetics, etc. can be loaded with potential Cancer Causing, and harmful ingredients. Here are a few more facts you should know…
: OSHA has identified 884 toxic chemicals commonly used in personal care products.
:: “Mainstream cosmetics and personal care products contain about 50 known carcinogenic ingredients. Many of the harmful ingredients used in personal care products are also used in tobacco products.” - Dr. Samuel Epstein, M.D. (Chairman, Cancer Prevention Coalition)
For instance, here’s just one of the many toxic ingredients: Diethanolamine or DEA is a common ingredient in shampoos and bath products. DEA and any combinations of DEA, including the widely used Cocamide DEA have been found to pose a serious health risk to consumers. The dangers of DEA were reported on CBS This Morning, in which Dr. Epstein, M.D. of the University of Illinois and one of the world's foremost toxicologists, testified about the results of his study in which he found that DEA is “a potential carcinogen” and that even in small doses, repeated use of DEA increases the risk of cancer. Further comments by Dr. Epstein criticized regulatory agencies and the cosmetic industry in the US for not taking any action to phase out its use although European governments had done so already.
The skin is highly permeable – think about the nicotine patch. Nicotine is delivered into the blood stream right through the skin. The same thing happens to personal care products you put on your skin every day. They are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream. If the personal care products you use contain harmful ingredients, these ingredients can build up in your liver, kidneys and other vital organs and tissues and have the same long-term effect as cigarette smoking. Many experts believe that this is a major reason cancer rates have skyrocketed. One in three people in the US today will get cancer.
Most people believe that the government would never
allow harmful ingredients to be used in personal care
products, and are shocked to find out that the FDA has
been aware of this problem for years, but has done
nothing about it. The fact is, these products are the least
regulated products under the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act. There is no pre-market safety testing,
review, or approval of these products required.
Manufacturers can use anything they want. The
government is not protecting us.
Luckily, there is a solution – Neways’ mission is to make
safe and effective products without potentially harmful
ingredients. Neways’ line of products is completely free of
