Stay Away From These Chemicals
In addition to looking at the cell phone when the toilet is bored, we can also take a look at the following chemicals in the personal care products we are using?
Methylisothiazolinone (MIT or MI)
It is usually used as a preservative in lotions, cosmetics, shampoos, conditioners and household products. Because it is very common, it may cause a variety of skin reactions and sensitivity.
Butylated hydroxyanisole & 2,6-dibutyl (Butylated hydroxyanisole, referred to as BHA) It is usually used as a preservative in cosmetics such as sunscreen, lipstick and moisturizing lotion. It can cause skin allergic reaction, interfere with endocrine and cause cancer. There is evidence that these chemical components can mimic estrogen, so it is recommended that pregnant women must stay away from any products containing these substances.
Parabens (Parabens)
Usually used in shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, moisturizing lotion and various cosmetics. Studies have confirmed that they can invade the skin, blood and digestive system, and even cause breast cancer and skin cancer.
Formaldehyde
Usually used in nail polish, nail glue, false eyelash glue, hair spray, hair care products, baby shampoo, bath soap, as well as preservatives and disinfectants in cleaning products and cosmetics. This chemical substance is controlled by the American Toxicology Program It is recognized as a carcinogen that is harmful to the human body. It may also cause skin allergies and cause dermatitis. In addition, formaldehyde is also classified as one of the most terrible indoor pollution factors.
Polyethylene glycol (PEG)
Usually used in moisturizing lotions, deodorants, cosmetics, soap, toothpaste and hair removal products. This substance can make the product foam easily and penetrate the skin. One of PEG is that it will be contaminated by certain possible carcinogens, and even uncontaminated PEG may cause skin discomfort and inflammation.
Bubbles are not equal to cleaning power
Maybe you think that any detergent should have a soft, silky foam. In fact, the amount of foaming has nothing to do with the cleaning power. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), a raw material generally used to foam products, is a very irritating chemical ingredient that can cause skin discomfort.
Essential oils, the natural preservatives
Most essential oils have strong antibacterial activity, which can effectively eliminate or slow down the spread of harmful microorganisms. You can also add raw materials to enhance the antibacterial power of essential oils. For example, honey and beeswax are known for their antibacterial properties. Sugar and alcohol-containing glycerin can also be combined to create useful natural preservatives.

遠離這些化學物質
在廁所無聊的時候除了可以看手機，我們也可以來看看我們正在使用的護理產品中有沒有以下化學物質？
甲基異噻唑啉酮 （Methylisothiazolinone, 簡稱MIT或MI)
通常使用在乳液，化妝品，洗髮精，潤絲精和居家產品上當作防腐劑使用。因為使用很普遍，因此可能會引發多種肌膚反應和敏感。
丁基羥基茴香醚& 2,6- 二丁基 （Butylated hydroxyanisole, 簡稱BHA)
通常使用在化妝品中，如防曬乳，唇膏和保濕乳液中的防腐劑。會造成肌膚過敏反應，干擾內分泌和造成癌症。有證據指出這些化學成分會模擬成雌激素，因此建議懷孕女性一定要遠離含有這些物質的任何產品。
對羥基苯甲酸酯 （Parabens）
通常使用在洗髮精，潤絲精，髮膠，保濕乳液以及各種化妝品。研究證實它們會侵入肌膚，血液和消化系統中，甚至引發乳癌和皮膚癌。
甲醛（Formaldehyde)
通常使用在指甲油，指甲膠，假睫毛膠，髮膠，護髮產品，嬰兒洗髮精，沐浴皂，還有清潔用品和化妝用品裡的防腐劑和消毒劑，此化學物質由美國毒理計劃認定為對人體有害之致癌物，還可能造成皮膚過敏，引發皮膚炎。此外，甲醛也被歸類為最可怕的室內污染因子之一。
聚乙二醇 （PEG）
通常使用在保濕乳液，體香劑，化妝品，肥皂，牙膏和除毛品上。此物質可以讓產品容易起泡，參透肌膚。PEG的其中一個在於會被特定的可能致癌物汙染，而就算是未汙染的PEG，也可能造成肌膚不適和發炎。
泡泡不等於清潔力
可能你認為任何洗滌用品都應該擁有柔軟，絲綢質地的泡沫，其實起泡多寡與清潔力根本毫不相干。一般被用來讓產品起泡的原料- 十二烷基硫酸鈉（SLS）是非常刺激的化學成分，會造成肌膚不適。
精油- 天然防腐劑
多數精油都有強烈的抗菌活動力，有效消滅或減緩有害微生物散播的速度。你還可以添加原物料，來增強精油的抗菌力，例如蜂蜜和蜂蠟就是以抗菌特性聞名。糖和含酒精的甘油也能結合出好用的天然防腐劑。
