As aware as you might be about chemicals in hair care, it is important to become aware of the hazardous toxins in make-up and beauty supplies as well. Don't forget to check the labels when you're buying anything in stores. 
Six Beauty Product Ingredients to Avoid:
- Petrochemicals Examples include petroleum jelly, isopropyl alcohol or isopropanol, methyl alcohol or methanol, butyl alcohol or butanol, ethyl alcohol or ethanol (often used in skin astringents and perfumes or colognes).
- Sodium laureth/lauryl sulfates and other sulfate-based detergents Examples include sodium lauryl ether sulfate; sodium laureth sulphate; sodium lauryl ether sulphate (most commonly used in shampoos, shower gel, bubble bath)
- Propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol, along with various ingredients formulated with PEGs and PGs Examples include ethylene glycol (used in firming lotions) and propylene glycol (found in everything from deodorant, mascara, baby powder, after shave and more).
- Formaldehyde & paraben preservatives Examples include butylparaben, ethylparaben, methylparaben, propylparaben (found in sunscreen, shampoos, shaving gel, toothpaste and more)
- Synthetic dyes Examples include anything with F&DC preceding it, usually followed by a color and a number. (F representing food, D&C representing drugs and cosmetics), other color additives, including caramel, lead acetate, manganese violet, and more.
