An interesting story...

The story of Safe Cosmetics

Why are petroleum-based ingredients in skin care products unsafe?

Petroleum-based products include:  mineral oil, paraffin, and petrolatum.  These products coat the skin, clog our pores, and create a build up of toxins. 

This can...

1.  Interfere with our hormones.

2.  Cause early signs of aging.

3.  Increase our risk for cancer.

Problem:  They are a major ingredient in skin care products.
