A Few of Many Lawsuits Proving
the Harm of Toxic Ingredients

Cancer Causing: Johnson & Johnson talcum baby powder was found, in 2018, to cause ovarian cancer, and because they were previously aware of the dangers, but took no safety actions, they were ordered to pay a lawsuit settlement of over $4 billion to 22 women.

Death: Wendy Hartley’s 21-year-old son died in 2017 while using a paint stripper that contained Methylene Chloride, which is banned in Europe but allowed in the U.S. This solvent kills in minutes and can cause heart attacks when its fumes are inhaled or it’s absorbed through our skin. At least 40 people died from 1976 to 2017 from exposure to paint and coating removers containing this ingredient. Hartley is one of two mothers who filed a lawsuit against the EPA in 2019 for not banning this ingredient that they claim caused their son’s death.

Acne Causing: A product claiming “Won’t Clog Pores” or “Non-Comedogenic,” doesn’t guarantee acne-safe ingredients. While some ingredients might not lead to clogged pores, they can still cause acne.

A Few of Many Potential Health Problems Caused By Toxic Ingredients

1

Breast and Other Types of Cancer
Chemicals linked to breast cancer are found in products on store shelves across the U.S. The Environmental Working Group found the carcinogen 1,4-dioxane in 40% of all personal care products studied. The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) found the same chemical in more than 23% of products labeled “natural.”

Chemicals found in personal care products have been shown in studies to mimic estrogen and may be linked to cancer. During vulnerable lifespan stages such as infancy and puberty breast cells are rapidly growing and sensitive to toxic exposures. Early life exposure may cause breast cancer in adult years.

Researchers identified almost 300 chemicals in everything from hair dyes, sunscreens, moisturizers, perfume and nail polish to pesticides that increase levels of breast cancer-contributing hormones.

Type-2 Diabetes
A study from Uppsala University found that those with higher levels of phthalates in their blood were twice as likely to develop diabetes.

3

Degenerative Diseases
The World Health Organization (WHO), estimates that 82% of all chronic degenerative diseases are caused by environmental exposure to toxic metals, many of which are in the personal care and other products we use every day.

4

Reduced Kidney, Lung and Brain Performance
Tests have shown that even minor exposure to Cadmium and other ingredients, banned in Europe but used in cosmetics in the U.S. harms blood vessels in heart tissue, kidneys, lungs. Brain and liver along with a causing suppressed immune system and other problems.

5

Weight Gain
Many ingredients found in lotions, deodorant, shampoo, conditioners and makeup alter metabolism so our body stores calories rather than burn them and this contributes to weight gain. These ingredients also disrupt hormones that alert the brain when the stomach is full from eating.
