A new study out of Notre Dame says that half of all the makeup in the United States and Canada contain toxic chemicals. They tested hundreds of cosmetics. 47% of mascaras, 48% of lip products, and 56% of foundations have high levels of fluorine. Fluorine is an indicator of PFAS chemicals. Those are highly toxic fluorinated chemicals that stay in your body for a long time. It’s the same stuff Teflon is made with. They can cause various cancers, reproductive problems, weakened childhood immunity, increased cholesterol, and the list goes on. You get the idea.
Personally, I think people look better without makeup. Have you seen the pictures of Taylor Swift without makeup? She looks like a completely different person! In a good way. I think people look better natural.
By the way, some Senators are trying to put legislation through that would ban PFAS chemicals in makeup.
