Toxic 12 List – The Toxic 12 List is much talked about but hard to find so here is the list of Toxic Makeup ingredients to avoid by Susan Jeske former Ms America.

The Toxic 12 List reads like most makeup ingredient lists and may seem harmless, in fact most of us don’t notice the ingredient lists on makeup and cosmetics.

9. Propylene glycol and butylene glycol
10. Sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate
11. Sunscreen chemicals like avobensone, benzphenone and PABA

The FDA doesn’t want you to know about the Toxic 12 list because it has failed to control the use of these substances in products we use everyday like shampoo and other hair care products, commonly found makeup and cosmetics, and skin treatments and lotions.

Susan Jeske, in her presentation about  ”The Impact of Toxins in Cosmetics and  Personal Care Producsts and How to Avoid Them” she addresses:

  • How the FDA is failing to protect our health when it comes to personal care products like shampoo, lotion, conditioner, moisturizer and make-up.
