Between lipsticks, moisturizers, perfumes and cosmetics in general, women spread the beauty - it should be said - of about 515 chemical agents on their face, body and hair every day.

Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous

Between lipsticks, moisturizers, scents e cosmetics in general, women spread the beauty - it is appropriate to say - of about 515 chemical agents.

This is the calculation made by a researcher of the cosmetic house Bionsen which is making women and men think about half the world. Because actually it is a figure that is scary, but to which Charlotte Smith, author of the study, came by analyzing the consumption of body care products by 2.016 women, noting how these use, on average: "thirteen products each of which consists of more than 20 ingredients, including additives and thickeners".

So, to make yourself beautiful between lip gloss (33 harmful elements), a little bit of mascara (29), a spread of body lotion (32 elements), a rehydrated hand (even the most natural creams contain up to 11 chemical agents), and a pass of polish on the nails (33), it's easy to sprinkle yourself every day with an enormous quantity of unhealthy substances, especially if you really don't want to give up perfume, a concentrate of aromas, but also of chemical agents. At least 250 which in some cases reaches 400 elements.

“Daily cosmetics has changed radically over the years - notes Smith - before it was more soap and water, today it is a continuous application of self-tanning creams, false nails, lamps, fillers, hair and elongated eyelashes. Behind these practices there are many dangers “.

From the dangerousness of the substances contained in body care products, from phthalates to parabens, we warn practically every day, always inviting you to opt for the eco-biological cosmetics, but perhaps seeing the magnitude of the problem as Smith feared it might be able to convince more and more women to choose natural sunscreens, organic perfumes e ecological lipsticks, but also rediscover the old ones natural beauty remedies.
