Hey beauty lovers! If you love make up, this blog has reached you by act of providence, no joke!
Ever flipped over your favorite makeup product and tried to find out what goes inside it so that you can be sure what goes into your skin? If yes, excellent! But if not, we’re here with a news. It’s time to get real about what you’re putting on our skin since a lot of ingredients can put your life on the line when used consistently for a long time.

We have come up with a list of top 10 toxic ingredients you should dodge like a bad date. They are;

1. BHA and BHT
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are preservatives that can cause skin irritation and have been linked to hormone disruption. Not exactly what you want from your beauty routine!

2. Formaldehyde
The same stuff used to preserve dead bodies. It’s in some nail polishes and hair treatments and can cause allergic reactions and is a known carcinogen. Yikes!

3. NEP and NMP
Solvents like N-Ethylpentedrone (NEP) and N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) are often found in eye makeup. They can cause reproductive issues and skin irritation. Not the glamorous look we’re going for!

4. Paraben
This one has been a hot topic for a while now! It’s a common preservative that mimic estrogen and can mess with your hormonal balance. They’re found in lots of cosmetics and skincare products.

5. Talc
Often used to absorb moisture, talc can be contaminated with asbestos, a known carcinogen. Definitely not something you want on your skin.

6. Toluene
A solvent found in nail polish and hair dyes that can affect the respiratory system and cause headaches and dizziness. It’s also linked to reproductive harm.

7. Siloxanes
These silicone-based compounds can disrupt hormones and harm your reproductive system. They’re often found in products that promise a silky, smooth finish.

8. Phthalates
Used to make plastics more flexible, phthalates are often in nail polish and synthetic fragrances. They can cause hormonal imbalances and reproductive issues.

9. Oxybenzone
Found in sunscreens, oxybenzone can cause allergic skin reactions and has been linked to hormone disruption. It’s bad for coral reefs too!

10. PFAs (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances)
Used in some waterproof and long-lasting cosmetics. PFAs can accumulate in your body over time and are linked to serious health issues, including cancer.
