Chemical attraction

Too much?
Acoording to a new British study, women "host" up to 515 different chemicals on their bodies every day.

The survey, conducted by deodorant manufacturer Bionsen, indicated that most of the pollutants are from deodorant, perfume, moisturiser, and lipstick.

Over 70 per cent of women polled admitted they weren't concerned about the number of chemicals on their skin. Only one in ten regularly chose chemical-free beauty products.

    This is a misleading statement - everything has chemicals in it, so how can 1 in 10 women choose 'chemical-free' beauty products?

    i agree with steph, if its not natural its basically man made and is a chemical. Everything has to have at least one man made ingredient.

    Notice how the blog above, doesn't mention how many of the 500+ chemicals are bad for you, YOU are made up of chemical ingredients, so of course you are going to have chemicals on your skin, it comes out of what you eat as well as what you put on top of your skin......

    Obviously people do not understand that there is chemical-free products out there, and even if you don't consume the product your skin absorbs 60% of the product therefore it goes into your body. Chemicals can cause cancer and diseases, yes we are exposed to chemicals everyday but it does not mean everything contains chemicals. There really are products that are chemical-free.
