The Ugly Truth about Beauty Cosmetics
Miessence Cosmetics have been especially created to reveal your natural,
fresh beauty with a palette of natural hues made from natural pigments
There’s an ugly truth behind many products promoted as enhancing
beauty – endocrine disrupting chemicals, formaldehyde donating
ingredients, petrochemicals and more.
Formulated with nourishing fruit oils, botanical waxes and pigments so
fine, you’ll hardly know they’re there.
They’re also free from nitrosamines, phthalates, parabens and
formaldehyde which are found in many commercial cosmetic
preparations.
Make Up Tips:
What natural ingredients do exist in many of these products have been
chemically extracted, bleached and pumped full of preservatives.
Our range of lip colour, blushes, concealers and foundations use only
certified organic plant ingredients along with safe and proven iron oxides
and micas. Designed to complement the Miessence certified organic skin
care range, Miessence cosmetics are designed to enhance and encourage
radiant beauty.
Miessence cosmetic products are completely different.
Key Toxins To Avoid:
Foundation Tips:
Parabens:
Nitrosamines
Light coverage: use a brush to apply over moisturised skin.
Used as preservatives in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries and
as a food additive.
Nitrosamines have been identified as one of the most potent classes
of carcinogens, having caused cancer in more than 40 different animal
species as well as in humans.
Heavier coverage: use a sponge to apply over moisturised skin.
To set make-up: spray a few pumps of rose
monsoon hydrating mist.
Blush Powder Tips:
For a natural look: apply
sparingly with a blush
brush
For more colour: apply
with a sponge.
Concealer Tips:
Dot concealer on carefully
and blend with your
fingertips slightly past the
edges of the problem. Be
careful not to rub in the
concealer or you will lose
coverage.
Lip Creme and
Shimmer Creme:
Add a little fresh colour
to your cheeks during
the day by using a light
dab of Shimmer
Creme or Lip
Creme.
The risks: Parabens are hormone disruptors and have been shown to be
a reproductive toxin in animal studies. Parabens have been detected in
breast cancer tumours. May cause contact dermatitis.
Ingredients to Avoid: Names featuring Methyl, Ethyl, Propyl & Butyl
Paraben, Japanese Honeysuckle Extract (Plantservative).
The risks: NDELA (nitrosodiethanolamine) is the specific nitrosamine “to which
human exposure is the greatest,” since it occurs in cosmetics and is “absorbed
readily through the skin (Carcinogenesis 1985, National Cancer Institute).
Nitrosamines are created when nitrosating agents are combined with amines.
Ingredients to Avoid: MEA (Monoethanolamine), DEA (Diethanolamine), TEA
(Triethanolamine) e.g. Cocamide MEA, DEA Oleth-3 Phosphate, TEA Lauryl Sulfate.
Formaldehyde:
Used as cosmetic biocides; denaturants; and preservatives.
The risks: Formaldehyde is classified as a Category 2 carcinogen.
Low level exposure causes irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat,
and can cause skin and lung allergies. Central nervous system
depressant.
Ingredients to Avoid: Sodium hydroxymethylglycinate (Suttocide),
Imidazolidinyl urea (Germall 115), Diazolidinyl urea, (Germall
II), Quaternium-15, DMDM Hydantoin (Glydant), 2-bromo2nitropropane-1,3diol (Bronopol),
1,4-dioxane
1,4-dioxane is a by-product of a chemical process of
ethoxylation, in which ethylene oxide, a known breast
carcinogen, is added to other chemicals to make them less
harsh.
The risks: Readily penetrates the skin. Is considered a
probable human carcinogen by the U.S. EPA. Suspected
by the state of California to cause cancer or birth
defects. Suspected kidney toxicant, neurotoxicant and
respiratory toxicant.
Ingredients to Avoid: Polyethylene glycol or ‘PEG’,
polyoxyethlylene, any ingredient with ‘eth’ in the
name such as sodium laureth sulphate, ceteareth
or oleth.
Phthalates:
A fragrance ingredient; plasticizer; solvent and masking agent
The risks: ‘Fragrance’ can contain up to 400 separate ingredients, including
toluene and phthalates. Phthalates are endocrine disruptors that can harm
the developing foetus and the male testes. Long-term exposure causes liver
and kidney damage. High level exposure causes irritation of the eyes, nose
and throat, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headache. Synthetic fragrances
are known to trigger asthma attacks. Symptoms reported to the FDA from
fragrance exposure have included headaches, dizziness, rashes, skin
discolouration, violent coughing and vomiting, and allergic skin irritation.
Fragrance is a common skin irritant.
Ingredients to Avoid: Fragrance (Parfum), Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Diethyl
Phthalate (DEP).
Triclosan
A common antimicrobial
The risks: Accumulates in our bodies, has been linked to hormone
disruption, and the emergence of bacteria resistant to antibiotics and
antibacterial products. Along with its negative health effects, triclosan
also impacts the environment, ending up in lakes, rivers and other water
sources, where it is toxic to aquatic life.
Ingredients to Avoid: Triclosan (Microban, Irgasan DP-300, Lexol 300, SterZac, Cloxifenolum, Biofresh).
