Bathroom Chemicals

 


A hundred years ago, people cleaned with products such as baking soda, vinegar and lye. Mainstream cleaning products today are much more powerful, but there has been a cost to our health.


Of the 2,983 Chemicals (used in mainstream cosmetics and personal care products) analysed by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH - USA), the results found that 884 of the ingredients were found to be toxic


For example, some can cause -

  1. *    biological mutation (change in cells)

  2. *    reproductive complications

  3. *    acute toxicity

  4. *    tumours

  5. *    skin and eye irritations (in particular, dermatitis and eczema)

      and more...

Propylene Glycol:

Propylene glycol is a component in automotive antifreezes and de-icers used at airports. Also used in cosmetics, toothpaste and lotions.


Propylene glycol is known to exert high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) during degradation in surface waters. This process can adversely affect aquatic life by consuming oxygen aquatic organisms need to survive.  Implicated in contact dermatitis, kidney damage and liver abnormalities.


Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) (SLES):

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laurilsulfate or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS or NaDS) (C12H25SO4Na) is an anionic surfectant used in many cleaning and hygiene products.  A major ingredient in car wash, soap, engine degreaser and garage floor.  The molecule has a tail of 12 carbon atoms, attached to a sulfate group, giving the molecule the  amphiphilic properties required of a detergent. Also found in shampoo, Conditioner, lotions and toothpaste.


SLS is a strong surfactant and some dermatological concerns regarding its role as an irritant have been raised in published reports.  SLS may worsen skin and eye conditions in some individuals, and could possibly aggravate breathing problems, with nausea and vomiting also being extreme reactions.
