Dangerous chemicals in the female organism
December 24th, 2009
Scientists from the University of Massachusetts (USA) have calculated that the organism of a modern woman who actively uses cosmetics accumulates 2.5 kg of various chemical substances over the course of one year.
Accordingly, over the course of 20 years of active cosmetics use for skin, hair and nails,a female organism builds up a whole 50 kg of dangerous and toxic substances and compounds.
Scientists have investigated a group of women who applied about 20 items of perfumery and cosmetics every day.
The result was that about 2.5 kg of every possible chemical, not always safe,get through the skin and mucous membranes into a woman’s organism over the course of a year.
