HEALTH & NUTRITION:

Are you suffering from headaches? Feeling a little blue or depressed? Are you also struggling with a persistent cough?

Did you think that something in your skincare, cosmetics and/or hair care products could be the culprits? Well, they can.

Butylene Glycol......you're givin' me a headache!
November 21, 2007

Search for Butylene Glycol in your products. This ingredient is linked directly to respiratory complications, kidney complications, depression and in severe untreated cases, death. Butylene Glycol is a cheap humectant and it is in almost every skin care and hair care product for this reason. There are other skin care, cosmetics and hair care products out there that are free of this chemical. Product lines such as Hope Aesthetics Skincare (which is now exclusively found in facial centers, previously was offered mail order and on-line) and Pangea Skincare (also sold through facial centers).

If you have any of these conditions, try not using the products with the Butylene Glycol for at least 60 days, it takes this long to detox the body of this chemical, and see how you feel. For more information on this chemical visit sciencelab.com (an unbiased site not related to any company in the beauty industry). They have run the required Material Safety Data testing and have reported on this ingredient, amongst others.


Visit www.sciencelab.com and then type in 2,3 Butylene Glycol MSDS. In the toxicology report it states that this ingredient is absorbed through the skin and to avoid use on the skin. Pretty unbelievable since it's one of the MOST Common ingredients in all skin care, cosmetics and hair care products.
