Dangerous Chemicals Contaminate Our Polluted World
Dangerous chemicals contaminate our polluted world, yet we often turn a blind eye to the potential dangers from chemicals in our everyday lives, even though they can be avoided. This is especially true of the products in our bathrooms. 

Check the label on your bathroom personal care against the following list.

“Non-Toxic” and “Green Living” are new buzz words in personal care products,
yet Neways has been doing it for 20 years!!
Unique Cancer Risk from Cosmetics and Personal Care Products
Dr Samuel Epstein, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, states that mainstream industry cosmetics and personal care products (CPCPs) are the single most important, yet generally unrecognized, class of avoidable carcinogenic exposures for the overwhelming majority of citizens in major industrial nations. The reason for these unique risks reflects a complex of individual and interactive factors such as:
• Interaction between different ingredients: even though a specific ingredient might not be in itself a “frank” carcinogen it might be a “hidden” carcinogen that may, under certain conditions, have carcinogenic properties when it combines with other ingredients in a product.
• Prolonged duration of exposure: the concern is that daily exposure, over a lifetime, of toxic ingredients, many of which are left on skin, has a cumulative negative effect
• High permeability of skin: the skin is highly permeable to carcinogenic and other toxic ingredients, especially following prolonged exposure.
• Effect of wetting agents on skin permeability: the permeability of skin to carcinogens, besides other toxic ingredients, is further increased by the presence of wetting agents or surfactants, probably the most common class of ingredients in the majority of CPCPs.
• Bypassing detoxifying enzyme: carcinogens in CPCPs pose greater cancer risks than does food contaminated with carcinogenic pesticides and other industrial carcinogens as they are not detoxified by the liver but reach the general blood circulation without this protective detoxification.
