Beauty Products Containing Harmful Substances

The cosmetics industry has had this issue for years now and there are even a lot of groups and movements that protested against beauty products containing harmful substances that pose serious threats to human health. Beauty supplements are not spared from this! There have been reports that some beauty enhancing supplements and products contain harmful substances such as lead and mercury! It is very alarming to know that some stores even tolerate the sale of these products knowing very well that it will cause bad effects and even irreversible damage to one’s health! These harmful substances are bad for the heart, liver and kidney. It can even infect the blood in our body and we can catch serious diseases just because these products exist.

There are products that contain Mercury because it may promote a lighter skin but if the mercury level content exceeds, adverse damage to health occurs. These effects are as follows:

1. Kidney damage
2. Recurring skin rashes
3. Skin discoloration
4. Scarring of the skin
5. Skin is more prone to bacteria and fungi.
6. Severe gastroenteritis
7. Burning mouth pain
8. Abdominal pain
9. Vomiting
10. Colitis

It could also affect the nervous system and mental health because too much exposure to mercury can escalate anxiety, depression and psychosis, peripheral neuropathy. What you may think is an innocent looking product that promises “beauty” may actually result to huge health damage—not just physical and aesthetical damage but also health damage all-over!

This has been going on since the 70’s and had been a continuous health concern up to this day. What is FDA doing and what are the manufacturers thinking while making these HARMFUL products? This is a public concern that should be addressed. Always be vigilant and know what good and what’s bad for you.

If anyone knows or suspects that a product: medicine or supplement is deemed fake, illegal and harmful contact the authorities and report your concern.
